Hi, hi, hi! Love your work! If you so kindly can, could we get some more pre-apocalypse, Dokja...? Specifically, him coming home after work from Minosoft to his s/o welcoming him back with some cute kisses...? Thank you!
There are times when the days pass in a blur and times when the seconds crawl by like a persistent itch that won't stop pestering him no matter how much he scratches it. Every few minutes or so, he glances up at the clock and then gets disappointed when he sees that there are hours, minutes, and seconds left to go.
The days feel too long and he goes to work every day waiting for the moment he can go home.
When the clock hits six o'clock, he leaves his seat, dashing out of the office before everyone else. No point in lingering in a place where no one would care about his presence.
He texts you before heading home, on the way to the train, while sitting on the train, and on the walk back home from the station. A few times before, he offered to go home with you, but you turned him down with the sweetest of smiles. You always insist that you meet each other at home, citing the double distance he'd have to take if he did that.
He accepts your consideration because it'd upset you to see him going out of his way for you. Never mind that his heart aches more when he has to wait longer to see you.
At least today, you're home ahead of him. His steps hurry at the thought. You texted him about going grocery shopping earlier, your plans for dinner, and how long it would take for him to be home. All mundane questions, but his heart races at the thought.
Being with you. You. You.
He fumbles with the key when he opens the door, cursing under his breath. This is a day like no other, he shouldn't be in a rush for something so simple. But his body moves on its own, foreign to the logic of his mind.
You greet him before he gets the chance to search for you. With a hug that almost drags him under, you chase away his train of thoughts, making his chest warm at the feeling of your embrace. "Welcome home!"
He laughs, the sound is so soft and affectionate to his ears, that he doesn't know how he can manage to do it. "Thanks," he squeezes you in his arms but dares not to linger for too long when he feels you pulling back. Before he has the chance to feel disappointed by losing your warmth, you press a soft peck on his cheek, blanking his thoughts once more.
"Come on, accompany me while I make dinner," you grin, tugging him towards the kitchen, "I'm cooking up something special today."
"I feel worried," he teases but all he feels is the warm mush of his inside. "Should we call the doctors beforehand...?"
You usher him towards the chair at the dining table, shushing him with a wave of your hand. "Don't be ridiculous, I'm an amazing cook." You say that with your chest puffed and an all-too-proud smile that melts whatever's left of his heart.
"Even the greatest of cooks needs a sous chef sometimes," he remarks with a dry smile, but it falters when you kiss him again on the other cheek.
"Just stay there and look pretty," you bounce back to the kitchen, leaving him a jumbled mess where he sits.
A retort is already at the tip of his tongue, but when he watches you at work, it comes out quieter than expected, "Yes, ma'am..." Dokja doesn't know what witchery you weave, but it always works so effectively on him.
And if he's being honest, he sees no reason to resist it.
