You legs tremble beneath you, the beautiful town of stardew valley not seeming as interesting as Finally putting your weight onto something other than your feet. The skeletons had beat you, the bruises they gave colourfully paint your body, biting away at your strength. With every step you take you fight the urge to scream and sob, wishing your home was closer to the mines. Finally the sight of your quaint farm came into view, and so did the sight of your husband, Harvey. Sat on the porch on. His eyes find yours immidietly and as soon as he does he’s up and by your side helping you into the house whilst lightly scolding you.
“I’ve told you how dangerous the mines are!” He scolds to which you reply to with a bloody and breathless “you have.” “I’ve told you to be careful.” He lays you on the dining room table. “You-“ you flinch at the wood under your aching back, “-have”.
“And I’ve told you to come back earlier.” He finishes, not allowing you time to reply, instead pressing a gentle kiss to your lips, his moustache tickling your upper lip. He peels off your shirt, sighing as you smirk at his actions. He presses gently at the shallow wound on your hip and wipes the dirt and debris from the sticky flesh. You hiss at the stinging caused by this action and he glances at you apologetically.
He slowly, but surely, cleans your wound and bandages you up. The mermaid pendant that hung around his neck dangled in the air between you and you had to resist the urge to reach up and fiddle with it every time her lent over you. He huffs and finally drags his eyes away from his stomach up to your eyes. Bringing up a hand to caress your cheek. “Don’t go back to the mines.. please?” Your lips tug into a small frown and you sigh, kissing the heel of his palm. “It’s part of what I do, Harv.” Your voice still hoarse. He sighs and presses a kiss to your forehead and Helps you up. Guiding you step by step back to your bedroom. Taking it slowly as to not aggravate your still fresh wounds. He helps you sit on the bed and pulls your clothes off to change you before doing the same for himself. Harvey steps over and layers besides you , running a hand lightly over your stomach. “Just be careful.” He presses a kiss to your cheek and turns the lights out. Allowing you both to slip off.
The next morning you wake up to a bill from him. 🥰
