“You’ve had a long day, haven’t you?” You hear him say from across the room.
You know his voice well by now, his scratchy, cold voice. How funny it was, that his voice matched his body temperature.
You’d come home later than normal, and the figure you knew so well had been watching you this entire time since you walked in.
Permafrost, despite not having much of a face, looks worried as they approach you.
”You look exhausted, should I get you some tea? and then perhaps we should head into the bedroom, where you can get some rest.“ Ices voice held concern, and perhaps some exhaustion of his own. After all, he rarely ever slept.
You nod, and put a gentle hand to a side of his chill face.
”Make sure to get yourself some tea, too. We can rest together! You look like you need it…” You respond with a light smile.
Though ices facemask hid his mouth, you could tell that under it, they were smiling as well as they nuzzled into your hand.
”Of course, my love… You head on up, I will be there shortly once the tea is ready. Do you want the usual?” Ending off with a question was common from him around you and others he cared for, it made you happy.
You gave only a simple, yet genuine response before heading up to the bedroom you longed so deeply for, ”Yes, the usual.”
