Like most evenings, Arcane came home looking exhausted after a full day of teaching and attending faculty meetings. He seemed a little worn out and frustrated.
Julian was the first to greet him when he got home, since Luna was watching TV at the time. He noticed how listless his husband looked.
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?" Julian asked as he took Arcane's bag and coat.
"Yeah, there were so many things I had to do today, and it's making my head spin a bit. I need something to help me unwind," he said, loosening the tie he was wearing.
"I see. Well, go take a shower, and we'll have dinner together. I'll get you some headache medicine." Julian was about to head back to the kitchen, but Arcane stopped him.
He embraced his husband from behind, rubbing his face against Julian's neck. Inhaling his scent deeply, feeling the warmth of the man. Julian couldn't protest because he actually felt sorry for Arcane, who was exhausted after working.
