More rain. It never ends here in Seattle. Thankfully, Stephen is already home with you by the time thunder rumbles again.
Disheveled blankets. Cuddling in his arms.
There’s no other feeling in the world. With dinner out of the way and that kitchen clean, you no longer have to think, just resting with your best friend.
“Babe?” His voice is sleepy, drifting in or out of consciousness as gorgeous hazel eyes watch you for a moment.
“What?” You mumble, still not wanting to consider anything important. Work drained you today, and it’s a miracle that even Holder could somehow leave the precinct earlier than midnight.
“You’re so pretty.” Smiling and showing off that mustache, he dares to open the warm proximity found between your covered bodies. Soon after, this man angles his finger to tap your nose.
“Thank you, but please let me sleep,” You whine back, readjusting that cuddle back with him.
“Aight.” Kissing your forehead, Holder took off one of those signature hoodies and now lays with you in a t-shirt, feeling nothing short of peace.
Just when you plan on sleeping again, lightning flashes in the bedroom window and you can’t help snuggling closer, hoping that Stephen will notice.
“Sorry.” You look up at him, trying not to feel embarrassed.
“It’s okay. I'm here. Promise.” This time, Holder caresses your face and smiles down, tickling you with the mustache.
At least he’s around, rain or shine.
