making sure your boyfriend goes to bed (Patreon)

it’s late at night, the room softly lit by the glow of my computer screen as i type away, lost in the story i’ve been working on. your cheek is pressed against my shoulder, your breathing steady as you sleep beside me. whether it’s the sound of the keys or a slight movement, you stir, waking up and realising just how late it is. the moment i see the time, it hits me. i had completely lost track, too caught up in my work to notice that what was most important was right here beside me. i close my laptop without a second thought, wrapping my arms around you, pulling you closer. i murmur my apology, my focus now entirely on you, where it should have been all along.
