Sunlight to keep

Summary:

At the end of the night he hid the paddles and knives away in the locked suitcase in the bottom of the closet, and left his wife in their bed.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

He carefully carried the two mugs back, making sure nothing spilled over the sides. One he kept himself, the other was put on the nightstand.

“Tea with honey, honey.” Gracia barely stirred. He froze for a few seconds. Was she hurt? He sat down on the bed and hesitantly touched her back. “Honey?” 

“Hmf.”

There was ice, starting in his chest, spreading-

“Tea.” 

Gracia slowly sat up, grabbed her mug and tugged his arm, forcing him to follow her up the bed. The feeling melted away, chased by the warmth of the tea and her soft body next to his.

Notes:

From kinkynerdy's Kinktober bingo. The tenth prompt from the random choice generator was "aftercare/drop", and my first draft was a lot angstier and a lot longer 😂
Come drink tea at me on my tumblr. Kudos are appreciated and I try to reply to all comments!
