Papers please characters morning and bedtime routines headcannons
Calensk:
⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊
- Early to rise, between 4-5am. Doesn't linger in bed too much.
- Half of the time, kisses his wife on the head, before stepping out of bed.
- Spends little time to refresh himself in the bathroom. Running a comb through his hair and beard. Splashing some water on face. Brushing teeth.
- Makes himself and his wife a quick breakfast.
- Takes out lunch of the fridge, for work. His wife made it for him the day before.
- And he is off to work.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
- Early to bed too. He has a pretty strict routine due to his time in the army (however short it was). After 8pm, if he hits the pillow, he immediately falls asleep.
- Rarely dreams.
- Before bed, he always showers. The nature of his jobs usually leaves him sweaty, so it's a must. Showers with cold water for the sake of his wife (and his kids, in the past). When his wife is out of the house though, he also enjoys some boiling level hot water.
- Overall both his routines come down to essentials, no fancy stuff. He'd rather spend that time on something more important.
Sergiu:
⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊
- Life as a soldier screwed up his internal clock badly.
- Wakes up at 5am sharp. Tries to linger in bed sometimes, to try to tell his brain that it's ok, to sleep in longer now. Doesn't really work that well…
- Also basic essentials in the bathroom. Showers in the morning, as well as in the evening. Doesn't mind whether the water is warm or cold.
- He doesn't eat breakfast in the morning. Used to eating the first meal of the day, only around 10-11am, so he just packs himself some lunch to work.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
- Writes letters to Elisa, in the evenings. He isn't much of a romantic poet, but he tries his best to put down on paper, how much he loves and misses her. Also writes about his week and includes some cash to help her out a bit.
- Rarely, he will include a dry, compressed in a book flower, to the letter.
- Then he is off to have a quick meal, before bed.
- Shower, brushing teeth, nothing special.
- And he is off to bed. Hopefully to fall asleep quickly and not spend a few hours, laying in bed anxious, with a big hole in his chest, unable to sleep.
- His dreams are a mixed bag, usually filled with nightmares.
Sergiu and Elisa:
⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊
- Sergiu still wakes up early, but this time he has an excellent excuse to stay longer in bed. Cuddling with Elisa really helps his sleeping problems.
- Long showers together. Maybe a bit shorter in the morning, but in the evening… (..ofgjgj the water bill…)
- Sometimes Sergiu will brush Elisa's hair and vice versa.
- They make their breakfasts together. Lovey lovey, casually flirting while doing so. Sergiu slowly starts adjusting his eating times, so he can spend more time with her.
- Kiss goodbye before going to work.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
- Making a quick meal before bed is just as fun for these two, as in the morning.
- Showering together part 2.
- Elisa likes reading books before bed, so she just lays in bed and uses Sergiu's chest as her pillow. He loves it, finally having filled the hole in chest. He just looks at her and combs her hair with his fingers, satisfied.
- Sometimes instead of reading, they will talk about anything and everything.
- And after that, it's just all cuddles and kisses. They end up falling asleep tangled together.
- They help each other ease their nightmares. Elisa's soft kisses taking away Sergiu's tears. Sergiu's tight hugs, and soft whispered reassurances, calming Elisa.
Inspector:
⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊
- He wakes up pretty easily with the sun, but he needs his alarm clock to ring, to drag him out
-Alarm rings.
- Wakes up.
- Groggy.
- Kiss wife good morning.
- Cuddle wife, go back to sleep…
- 2nd alarm
- There is no arguing with that.
- Mostly also just essentials in the morning. Though he prefers to shower before the day starts. Also spends some time washing his beard, he hates when it's dirty or uncombed.
- When walking out, passes his wife, who already made breakfast.
- Kiss wife thanks.
- Eats breakfast with the rest of the family, grabs lunch for work and he is out.
- Sometimes when he has time, will walk his kids to school.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
- Before going to bed, hugs kids goodnight. Maybe read or make up some bedtime story for them, if not too tired.
- Bathroom routine shorter than in the morning. Brush teeth, splash water in face and that's all.
- Rarely, he will read one of his books before bed.
- Cuddle wife, cuddle wife, cuddle wife. Kiss her goodnight.
