Warnings: Some swear words, a lil sex joke and insinuations of it at the very end, mostly fluffy and light-hearted.
You could sense the tension and see how drained your boyfriend was, physically and emotionally, when he walked in after a long day at the studio. Even more when he just dropped to the floor to cuddle with piggy at your feet. You clambered across the couch and jumped off, making your way to the kitchen to make Luke some chamomile and lavender tea, something he drank whenever he wanted to destress on days like this. Pouring the tea in his mug, you walked to the floor where your giant boyfriend was lying and ran your fingers through his hair when he pulled you closer. “ I wanna lay on your lap, babe,” he mumbled lifting his head up, all while somehow clinging to Petunia with his other hand. You set his tea on the coffee table and put his head on your lap, starting to scratch his scalp lightly and smiling as he closed his eyes and hummed in appreciation.
An episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine later, you reached for the mug in front of you with your free and to check the temperature, and it wasn’t boiling like before. “Bub? Your tea is in the perfect temperature now, do you wanna drink it now?” He lazily opened an eye and you felt him stir and sit up, both of you now resting your back at the foot of the sofa. He made grabby hands for his mug and you chuckled as you handed it over to him. Petunia now moving to place her head on Luke’s knee and his hand immediately moved to stroke her head, while sipping the tea. Once he finished, he set the mug on the table and turned to kiss your head.
“Thanks for taking care of me, love, you always know how to make me feel better. You’re the best.”
“ I know, that’s why you’re with me” you joked, flipping your hair and watched his eyes crinkle as he shook his head and laughed. You couldn’t have been any luckier to call him your boyfriend. It was just the three of you in your own little happy world, all cuddled up on a fluffy rug, watching reruns of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
It was gone when Luke stretched and you could hear multiple cracks, from his neck and back. “My neck hurts. My back hurts. I am in pain.” He complained as he tilted his head from one side to another in attempts to soothe his pain. Immediately, you got up from your oh-so-comfy spot, patting your boyfriends head when he whined again, this time due to the loss of contact.
“Gimme a sec bub, I’ll be back with something to ease the pain,” you assured him as you made your way to the bathroom. After sifting through the cabinets, you found what you were looking for, a small bottle of oil, which your mother bought for you in your hometown. You remembered the nights during finals season when your mother would massage your shoulders and back with this oil before you slept because you’d spend so many hours hunched over a book or your laptop, giving you migraines. But you switched to an ointment once you moved out, but it still made your life easier (pun intended) and took care of the stress-induced pains you had just as well. This oil worked wonders and you hoped it would do the same for Luke.
He was still at the spot you left him, still playing with Piggy’s ear. He looked at you as you settled on the couch behind him, legs on either side of him. “Uh, babe? What are you doing?” he questioned turning around with an eyebrow raised.
“Shush, I’ve got just the thing to help you. Now turn and take your shirt off,” you order.
“As much as I’d like to have sex with you on the couch, I’m not sure how that’s going help with my pain,” he says with a smirk and pulled his shirt over his head.
You rolled your eyes. “Oh for fuck’s sake, I’m giving you a massage, now move your ass forward so I can tie your hair up.”
“Yes ma’am,” he teased before doing as you said. After tying his hair up in a nice little bun, you poured some oil on your hands and rubbed them together to heat it. You hear him let out a sigh as you worked on the knots on his shoulders and back, even letting out a few soft moans when you dug your fingers in a particularly sensitive one. After about forty-five minutes, you were done, and you can see how relaxed he was.
Placing your hands on his broad shoulders, you said, “Hun, let’s eat dinner and then we can sleep ok?” He nodded, slowly getting up and followed you to the kitchen, feeding Petunia while you finished up dinner and set the plates. The two of you talked about what you did at work and he got some energy back in him after he finished.
Once, you finished washing your dishes and other cutlery while Luke wiped the counters, he wrapped his arms around you from behind, placing light kisses on your neck. His stubble tickled you, squirming as you turned around to face him, raising an eyebrow at his sudden actions, NOT that you minded it. “Thanks for taking care of me babe.”
“Oh, it’s nothing,” you shrugged, “Everyone needs a little pampering once in a while. You feeling better?”
“Yeah, I feel like a zombie brought back to life. Good as new,” he assured, his grip on your waist tightening as he leaned down to kiss you, which soon became more heated and needy. He lifted you up to set you on the counter before he breathed, “Now, it’s my turn to take care of you. A little thank you gift.” Before reconnecting your lips, you wrapped your legs around his waist. “What do you say, baby? You’ll let me take care of you now?”
“Please” was all you could say as he carried you back to the bedroom.
