Late Nights for a Scientist
The door to the apartment opens and closes with a creak, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps and a cane.
"Welcome home Viktor. Late night tonight?" You meet Viktor in the hallway, his face and eyes tired.
"Eh, normal work day. I'm used to it by now." His mind might be but his body says otherwise. Still he walks up to you with a smile, gentle placing his hand on your cheek and pulling you in for a chaste kiss, "And how was your day my love?" He whispers against your lips.
"Uneventful really. But then again that's most day when you work at a library." Viktor chuckles, his laughter tired but heartfelt. "Come along now. Sit and relax, I'll make you a warm bath." You guide him to the living room and onto the couch.
Viktor waits until you go into the bathroom and emerge a few minutes later. He cocks his head to the side as he raises an eyebrow, "Will you join me?" He asks as he stands up.
A small blush dusts your cheeks, "If you want me to."
"Of course I do." Viktor gently takes your hand in his and pulls you back inside the warm bathroom, closing the door behind him, "I missed you." He pulls you into another kiss, this one longer than the previous. You hum into the kiss as you start to undo the buttons of his vest.
It doesn't take long before you're both naked and submerged into the bathtub.
"Lean forward a little." You whisper against Viktor's ear. You see the hairs on his neck stand up for a brief second, "Sorry. I know you're ticklish."
"My one weakness." Viktor says sarcastically. You start to wash his back in slow motions, enjoying the pleasant hum coming from your boyfriend as you do so. You like doing these small acts of intimacy for each other from time to time. "I wanted to do something nice for you tonight." You place a gentle kiss on his shoulder, making Viktor shiver.
He chuckled, "It's what you do all the time. I do not believe I ever had a bad night here since we moved in together. You always wait for me, welcome me home. I couldn't ask for anything better." His soft, gentle words melt your heart. You kiss his shoulder again.
"Thank you." You keep pampering him with kisses in between switching from washing his back, chest and arms.
"I will do the front. I don't think I have the energy for anything more tonight." Viktor looked back at you and winked, enjoying seeing a blush spread across your shoulders and chest. As he cleaned his front you washed his hair, running your fingers into his brown locks and rinsing the grease off.
After you washed the shampoo away you did the same for yourself, Viktor offering to wash your back just as you did for him. Of course you said yes. He takes his time, kissing you just as you did him, and more. Over your back, your neck. You hum pleasantly when it's all done.
You get dressed in silence, sneaking little glances at each other, smiles across both of your faces.
When you enter the bedroom you waste no time getting into bed and snuggling up to each other, facing each other. Viktor lays his head on your chest as you run your hands over the nape of his neck and tangling your fingers into his hair, pulling him closer. Viktor's eyes flutter close, "I love you." He mumbles.
"I love you too Vik." You can hear Viktor sigh happily as sleep starts to overtake him. You lean down and kiss his cheek, "Sweet dreams my love." You whisper against his cheek before slowly falling asleep as well.
