Tired Embrace

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

It was an awfully cold night

Goliath was feeling terribly tired. His duties as the Beetle's prophet and leader of the cult he managed to form wore him out quite a lot to day. A bit more than they usually did.

All the other members of the cult were already fast asleep at this time.

At this rate he was considering simply fall onto the floor and pass out right then in there. While he was wondering the halls trying to get to his chambers. He was about to do so when he saw his wife, Mary

"Just the person I wanted to see" He thought to himself.

Mary was staring out of a tall window into the darkness of the night. So many thoughts were running through her head, yet she remained still like a stone statue.

Through the reflection of the mirror she could see her husband walking up behind her.

Tugging his hood off of his head to reveal his white hair.

"Why hello honey, I thought I was the only one up. What are you doing he-"

Before she could continue to say anything, Goliath quickly wrapped his arms around Mary's waist. Pulling her into a warm back hug. He was incredibly busy that day. So he barely got to talk to her at all.

"Hi..." Goliath said in reply in an awfully soft tone that sounded pretty out of character for someone like himself.

"My, you sound so tired dear, why is that?" Mary asked.

Goliath didn't respond. Instead he slowly grabbed both of her hands and held them gently.

"Don't feel like taking today? I get that"

"Why do you always tend to give me back hugs?" Mary asked.

"I makes me feel like I'm protecting you in some odd way"

"I've already told you I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself.

"He mumbled has he nuzzled into her neck, burying is face in her raven hair. Feeling slightly annoyed after she said that to him

"You're mumbling again" Mary signed

"I know"

Mary broke away from his embrace to face him, she immediately saw that he could barely keep his eyes open.

"You must've had a very tiring day, haven't you?"

Goliath then pulled her into yet another embrace. The only thing he wanted to do at that moment was hold his wife after a long day. All while kissing her forehead and petting her hair. Which flustered Mary, listening to the comforting rhythm of his heartbeat nearly made her sleepy herself.

"I love you My Mary." Goliath said nearly slurring his words.

He needed sleep now, and Mary knew that well

"How about we head to our room, we can continue this there. It's getting late."

Goliath nodded in agreement as Mary pulled away from him.

She gently held his hand, much like how he held hers, as she guided him back to their shared chambers.

To make sure Goliath could get some proper rest.
