Husband!Shouto Todoroki comes back exhausted from work :(
The echo of the front door opening and closing is what roused you from your slump, your kindle in your lap– dimly lit as you read. It wasn’t a great surprise having Shouto arrive home this late, he was the number two hero after all; but this being the first time you’ve seen him in days? Yeah, that was weird.
Throwing the blanket off of your legs and glancing down at your kindle as you switched it off, the fear of God was put into you when you looked up to see your husband stood in the doorway, swaying a little on his feet.
You furrowed your eyebrows, following his line of sight to the wall behind you, it appeared he was completely spaced out. “Hi.” You stated, turning your head to face him again. He hummed quietly, frog blinking. “Okay.” You whispered, swinging your legs off the bed and shuffling toward him. Your hands instinctively found his waist.
“Do you want dinner? I can whip something up real quick.” You asked, resting your chin on his chest. Shouto looked down at you with half-lidded eyes.
“The weather? Yeah it's nice today.” He mumbled back, wrapping his arms around you.
You raised an eyebrow. “No hon, I asked if you’d like dinner.” You let out a soft chuckle, he looked at you confused, if you didn’t know better you could’ve sworn he was on something.
“I think it’s like 24 degrees? Hot in a hero costume.” Shouto replied, dropping his head to your shoulders. You let out a soft sigh, moving your hands up his back to card through the short hairs at the back of his neck.
Practically his full weight was leaning against you, his shoulders slumped as he rested. God, he must be exhausted. What the hell were they doing to him at the agency? “What about… you get in bed and I bring you some tea and then you can sleep, hm?” You hummed, pressing a gentle kiss to the shell of his ear. You felt him nod, his thumb absentmindedly rubbing circles into the small of your back.
Letting go, you pulled back to look at his face, he caught your lips in a chaste kiss, quick and small as his hands dropped back to his side. You took a step back, allowing him to shuffle past you. You made sure he sat down on the bed safely — rummaging through his dresser — before you left the room.
As the tea brewed you watched him from the kitchen through the doorway, staring with mild concern as he changed and flopped into bed. You knew this week was chaotic, Shouto’s agency had been working with the HPSC, and with him being the front man he’d clearly been thrown head first into the deep end.
The kettle whistled, signalling the water was ready. You poured it carefully into a cup, stirring the tea strainer around the cup to get all the flavour. When you turned back round again, cup in hand while you walked to the bedroom, he was fast asleep. You stood at the end of the bed, steaming mug in hand as he snored softly. Letting out another soft chuckle you placed the tea down on the dresser, sliding over to him and bending to card your hands through his hair.
Shouto stirred, causing your hand to still, but once you were sure he was fully asleep you pressed your lips to his forehead, mumbling a quiet “Goodnight, sweetheart.”
