The clock has just turned 10PM when you joined me in bed for some cuddles. It wasn’t a busy day, but it has been a while since we last had some intimate time. Life do be like that sometimes, don’t it? We get caught up in our separate lifes and suddenly a couple days have passed.
When you snuggled up close to me suddenly I noticed how much I missed you. I let you lay your head on my shoulder, you were my little spoon despite being a whole foot taller than me. Your hair on my cheek, your breath on my chest, your arms around me… I took a deep breath and enjoyed your presence, and closed my eyes while I whispered, “My good boy.”
I heard you humming in agreement, and I kissed the top of your head. “You’re so adorable when you’re like this.”
“No, you.” You murmured into my chest.
I smiled, and replied, “No you.” It’s not unusual for us to have these “no you” wars. Sometimes we’d go so long I’d forget what we were even no-you-ing. It’s still fun though, because sometimes it makes me want to sit on your face just to shut you up. I think you knew that, so you do it on purpose.
