I wrote this awhile ago for Jess (out-of-reach on here) on tumblr. It's short but sweet
"Babe?" James called, stepping into the apartment. He threw his keys on the coffee table and toed off his shoes "Carlos?" James asked again. No answer. James moved room to room in the apartment looking for his boyfriend. He finally spotted him on their bed curled into a ball.
James quickly stepped over to the bed and laid a gentle hand on Carlos' back. Carlos flinched away from the touch. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" James asked, concerned.
"Migraine" Carlos gritted out, scrunching his nose in discomfort. James should have known. Carlos got at least one migraine a month. The slightest but of light or sound was excruciating to him.
James quickly got up to close the drapes and shut the bedroom door. Once the room was pitch black, James crawled onto the bed and slowly rolled Carlos into his side and wrapped an arm around him.
Carlos whimpered at the movement. "I know, I know. Shh baby. You're alright." James whispered, running his hand up and down Carlos' back.
"Just try to relax and go to sleep. I'll be here to take care of you when you wake up." James felt Carlos nestle deeper into his chest. A barely audible "thanks" came from Carlos before he fell asleep.
