ASTRID settled into a comfortable position on his bed and called Wulfric back. The other answered quickly. From what Astrid could see in the background, Wulfric was also in his room.
"Hey, sorry I missed your calls," he said. "I was in the bath and ended up soaking longer than I meant to."
Wulfric stared at Aster. His cheeks had a pinkish tint, and his hair was still a little messy. It was clear he had just gotten out of the bath. He looked much younger like this. How adorable.
"It's fine. Did you just get home?" he asked worriedly. "I called earlier because I thought you would already be resting by now."
Aster had been working nonstop for weeks. First the filming, then all the press and promotion for the movie. Even after all of that, he still had school and other commitments. Wulfric wanted to tell him to slow down, but he held back. Instead, he just kept watching Aster's face, looking for any sign that he was pushing himself too hard.
