We All have Rough Days
The cotton on your shirt felt like sandpaper; too stiff and too rough to be comfortable. You swallowed and pulled at the collar.
Today just sucked a little more than usual. Nothing was particularly wrong but it’s vibes just weren’t right from the second you woke up next to your partner.
Benrey could tell something was wrong but xe didn’t know how to approach the situation so he ended up giving you some space, not wanting to crowd you. It wasn’t sure what you wanted them to do and he was worried about messing up and making it worse.
About midday he actually tried talking to you.
You were sitting at the small kitchen table with your head laying on the smooth wood top.
“You uhhhhh—you don’t look too swag there player 2.” They said as gently as they could manage.
You let out a pained noise in response and you hoped xe would understand. Words weren’t exactly coming to you right now.
“Would you uh—would you mind me smoochin you?” Benrey asked, looking uncertain.
You lifted your head up from the cool surface of the table. He noticed your droopy eyes. It looked like being cognizant was a chore. You wanted to say yes, desperately so, but the idea of the texture of their lips on yours made you cringe.
You shook your head sadly. You really wished you could kiss him. Benrey seemed to understand though and relaxed his uncertain posture.
“Yeah that’s alright, player 2.” He smiled comfortingly, flashing his pointy yellow teeth.
You sighed and flopped your head back onto the table.
“I love you, Benrey…” You mumbled.
Benrey nodded in affirmation before realizing you couldn’t see xem.
“I love you too.” They said back.
You smiled contentedly, you were lucky to have such an understanding partner.
