She's been mostly a certain somewhere with Friede the last two nights, but today, the kids came home and she's made sure they've done their nightly routine before going to bed. Friede's also been helping her out with dinner for everyone and has been listening to Willow and Milo talk about their weekend.
Once all is said and done and the two are alone, Morgan briefly pops her head in to let them know she's going to bed before giving them both a look. Both had been... hands off since everyone had gotten home, and with a brief shake of her head, she departs. Now that they're alone, Friede approaches and while he isn't one to tease too much, he places a kiss to the back of her neck.
This sends a chill up her spine and she drops what she's doing. "S-Seriously...?" A wolfish grin escapes him. "Too much?" "... N-No. I just..." He knows her reaction is genuine, he just can't seem to help himself as he wraps his arms around her from behind, resting his head on top of her own. She glances up at him, a small smile forming.
"Tired?" "Hmm... Not necessarily. Just enjoying the moment, perhaps?" She laughs at that. "That so? Then please by all means, feel free to keep doing so." And so he does until Lucky comes over, chirping and looking to the time. "... Ah. I gotta be up tomorrow to see the kids off..." He releases her, instead reaching for her hand and placing a kiss to her fingertips.
She's flustered by this but asks gently; "Will you be leaving too?" "Not until after the kids are gone to school." He reassures. Something shifted in Friede over the last two days. He wasn't gone by morning, instead choosing to stay with her, here in this moment, and honestly... Ashe was grateful for it. "Alright then. I'll expect you up bright and early." A grin escapes him as he leads her to bed with Lucky picking up the Eevee kit of Friede's along the way.
