Work Text:
Anthony felt fucking tired.
He had stayed at the firm 5 more hours after everyone had left,meaning he worked until 11. He hated working long hours because that meant he was using his time he could have with his beloved girlfriend Kate,he had to work instead. He huffed as he dug through his coat pocket to find his keys,gruffly opening their apartment. He threw his keys in the bowl on a little table near the door.
Kate was already probably asleep,so he could just get ready for bed then spoon her until he happily fell asleep. He liked this plan and continued through their apartment,getting ready to make himself a cup of tea when he suddenly heard,”hello baby.”
Anthony's hand flew to his chest as he saw Kate dressed in some appetizing pajama shorts and a big t-shirt that was one of his. “You scared me,” he said softly as he reached to caress her cheek.” "I'm sorry, Anthony,but you look very tired,you shouldn't work this late, honey.” kates eyes were filled with concern as she looked at her boyfriend's drained face.
“How about i take care of you tonight?” Anthony started to shake his head,”sweetie don't worry about me,you should go to bed.”
Oh how she hated those words,”dont worry about me,” after years of anthony taking care of his family,them not doing the same,he was constantly looking after others and never taking time for himself.”baby,no,I couldn't sleep without you anyway,just let me get you to bed,okay sweetie.” she hugged him tightly,burying his face in her shoulder as he breathed in her comforting lily smell.
Anthony now felt even more tired, and he didn't want to put up a fight with his lovely girlfriend,so he just murmured ok and let her guide him to their bedroom. Once there,she started stripping him,starting with his shirt,urging him to take off his pants. Once in his boxers she led him to the bathroom where they both brushed their teeth. Kate got into bed,her arms outstretched for him. He then collapsed onto the bed in a heap on top of her. He hugs her tightly.
She was soft and warm,and safe.
Home.
She cood in his ear,rubbing his back. It was so damn comfortable,their little nest,he never wanted to leave. He moved his face so his head was resting on her boobs,the perfect pillow.
He loved using them as pillows because of how soft and warm her breasts were,but also the safety they had created for his head,and the fact he could hear her soothing heartbeat lulled him to sleep.
He drifted off instantly,thinking how much he loved Kate,he would propose to her soon.he had bought a ring already and was just waiting for the perfect time,but he knew he would do it soon.
“I love you” she whispered sleepily
She was his home after all.
