There is nothing particularly special.

In the morning, we brew coffee with sleepy faces and start our busy days. When night falls, we return with a "I'm home" and talk a little about what happened today. We eat dinner, one reads a book, and the other relaxes on the sofa. That kind of time was our daily life.

Saku is busy with work and sometimes continues it after coming home. However, when he happens to look up, his partner is always there. Just that is enough to make his shoulders relax a little.

On holidays, we go shopping together, cook if we feel like it, or just spend time at home doing nothing. Even if we're doing different things, just being in the same room is strangely calming.

On days you're tired, you don't have to force a smile. On days you don't want to talk, you don't have to. If you get sleepy, you can just fall asleep right there next to him.

There are no big events, no dramatic romance. Just the light being on when you return, the person you love being there, and the usual place waiting for you.

Those casual days had, before we knew it, become the most comforting time for both of us.

"Welcome back" and "I'm home" are waiting for the two of them again today.
