Marius has been so busy with Pax's "Presidential Design Week" that he hasn't even had time to take a break.

So, after a stressful day at work, you forcibly drag him home from his workshop at the fashion boutique.

But as soon as the two of you sit down on the sofa, Marius wraps his arms lazily around you, burying his head in your neck.

You: Are you okay?

Marius shakes his head, his soft hair brushing against your skin, which feels ticklish.

Marius: My eyes are sore, probably from using them too much lately.

Marius' words have a boyish, adorable tone to them, and your heart softens.

You: Want me to get you a warm compress?

Upon hearing this, Marius' eyes light up with surprise.

Marius: Oh? You know how to do a warm compress?

You: Of course I do. It's not hard. Wait here, I'll go get a hot towel.

You let Marius lay his head on your thigh and hold up the hot towel before his eyes.

You: Here we go.

Marius: Yeah, I'm ready.

Folding the towel into a long strip, you gently cover Marius' eyelids with it.

Marius: Ahh... it feels great...

Marius sighs comfortably, letting out a huge yawn.

With the strain on his eyes eased, the fatigue in his body begins to emerge.

You: Are you going home tonight?

Maybe it's because you were worried that he'd pull an all-nighter at Sonnets Fashion, or maybe it's for some other reason...

You blurted out the question without much thought, leaving your cheeks burning.

You: (But that question seems...)

You: Um... I just thought you might be exhausted going back and forth. That's all...

But before you can finish speaking, Marius removes the hot towel from his eyes. He then sits up and puts his arms around you.

He leans in closer to your ear, his warm breath accompanied by a deep voice, the most intimate of gestures.

Marius: I'll stay if you want me to.

You: ...

As though unhappy with your silence, he takes your chin in his hand so you have to look at him.

Marius: Haven't decided yet?

Before you answer, you turn and sit onto Marius' lap, facing him.

In this position, Marius has to raise his head to look at you.

Marius: ...

You straighten your back and place your hands on the back of sofa, looking directly into Marius' eyes.

You: I want you to stay.

Marius laughs lightly upon hearing your answer, then wraps his arms around your waist.

Marius: As you wish.
