“Hm hmm hm-hm,” Chie hummed as the music played in her ear, her headphones wrapped snugly around both of her ears. The music played in her ears as she clicked away at the computer, typing inbeetween thoughts and occasionally lifting her right hand from her keyboard to reach her mouse. Her eyes followed the cursor wherever she led it, as her hands typed emails and her brain trailed on with the project she had just started.

Sometimes, she could hear the music; others, she heard nothing but her own thoughts. There was a bubble around her and her computer, invisible and without much form. As her reminder to prepare for a meeting at 11 went off, she remembered that Nazuna was supposed to be home, although he wasn’t. She checked her phone for any messages; in all honesty, she rarely ever remembered to look at it if she was working. If anyone was to reach her, it would be by chance unless she was waiting for a reply.

Relieved to see a message in her notifications, she opened the messages app to find it was from the one she was hoping it would be. She sighed from relief from the explanation; not that any of this was favorable, but she was glad that he was at least okay. At least he had texted her that his flight had gotten delayed a couple of hours, nothing more or nothing less than that.

Ignoring the alarm she had set for herself to prepare for the 11PM meeting, she resumed her work, sending a few last emails and continuing to work on the concept for the project she had started a couple of days ago. She had another alarm set closer to the meeting anyways, and she had already gotten ahead with the presentation slides earlier; she had a stroke of inspiration and simply couldn’t resist changing around the order of the tasks she needed to do a little bit.

“I’m home, Chie,” Nazuna kissed her cheek from behind. It took a couple of seconds before she stopped typing for her to register what had happened. She turned her head to him and giggled, “Welcome back, Nazu.”

Nazuna released his arm around her as she got up and hugged him instead, which he gladly returned. Chie basked in his warmth, one she couldn’t ever feel when she was without him, even when she was working. Somehow, it stopped all of her ambitions, and she suddenly didn’t want to work anymore. The two of them mumbled to themselves, not separated from the hug at all. Chie played with his hair as they spoke, whispering, “Mhm, life’s been crazy lately. I’m so glad you’re back home, my love.”

Buzz. Buzz. Chie grumbled as she took her arms off of Nazuna to look at the notification from her phone. “I have a meeting at 11…”

Nazuna let go as well, earning himself a pout from his lover. He made his way out of the door, the pout unchanged until he said, “I’ll be making dinner in the kitchen. It’ll be ready when you finish the meeting.”

Then, the pout was gone, and a soft smile was shown on Chie’s face. The meeting was going to be fine, and they’d have dinner together. Perfect.

Here's the cover photo of another one of my stories: A Thousand Years Ago. Basically, it takes place a thousand years before the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. ...Of course, there are many things that are different as well, such as there being a Shadow King and a group of heroes called the "Chosen Ones" (cliched, I know). These people are also ancestors to other characters, if you couldn't tell by their appearances.

I won't go into too much detail, since you can read that for yourself. If you want to read the story, then you can check it out here.
