Nap

"Shouta....Shouta....Shouta....Shouta....Shouta....Shouta..."

"Not happening."

"Please...I'm tired..."

"Sleep on the couch."

"All you have in your office is a chair."

"Sleep in the chair."

"I need attention."

"I'm talking to you right now."

"I need you to hug me."

"Quit being a pest."

"That's impossible - I am a pest. That's my mode of operation."

A pair of dark, red-rimmed eyes behind thick, black glasses glowered over in your direction.

"Do the words 'I'm still working' hold any merit?"

You pursed your lips and folded your arms over your chest.

"Normally, yes, but right now, I don't care."

After you shuffled over to his side, you planted your chin on his shoulder.

"Hm," he grunted, slashing through a few more of his student's papers with the terrifying blade known as the red pen. "Some teacher you are."

"Hey, I finished my grading already," you nestled your face into his ratted mess of black hair.

"You don't have to sit down and read your assignments."

"But, it's still just as tedious."

"That's because you possess the attention span of a retarded goldfish."

With a deep groan, you gripped his shoulders and shook him lightly.

"As much as I enjoy watching you brutally slaughter your students' assignments, I want you to come take a nap with me," you said. "Now, come on, old man."

"Well, as much as I would like to come take a nap for the next century," he said as he left behind a C on the last paper. "I have to finish these in the next, oh I don't know, 15 hours tops."

"That's enough time to take a power nap then," you rocked him again.

"A 15-hour power nap?"

"For you, that's an average nap."

As expected, the man refused to even glance in your general direction, focusing only on the task at hand. While you admired that unwavering will and determination found in your husband, in domestic situations like this, it proved to be...slightly irritating. Once he worked, nothing would sway him, absolutely nothing - not even you. Honestly, that never bothered you. Most of the time, you appreciated it. With the exhaustion from night patrolling combined with the strenuous burden of managing hormonal high schoolers, low maintenance was what you both needed.

But, now was not one of those times. The week drained every ounce of energy from you,...and It was only Wednesday. The students' energy levels skyrocketed into the nether regions of space. Patrolling lasted into the wee hours of the morning, leaving you with perhaps 3 hours at most to sleep. The cycle never ended, the excruciating, agonizing, sleep-thieving cycle.

With a drawl groan, you rested your cheek against his shoulder blade and froze there, inhaling his musky scent. Strangely enough, utilizing him like a wall in this fashion proved to be shockingly comfortable. His muscular form proved to be sturdy and warm...

Hmmm...so warm...

"So warm," you muffled into his uniform.

The deep groan he emitted vibrating in his chest tickled against your cheek.

"There's a chair right over there," he flicked one of your arms. "And you still insist on being a leach?"

"Sure do," you replied, nestling into his shoulder blade.

"Not the most comfortable position to sleep in," he said, writing a D on another poor victim's paper.

"I disagree with that sentiment."

"So, instead of acting like an adult and not bothering a fellow teacher in the middle of working, you're acting like a bratty child," he slapped down another paper. "That's encouraging."

In response, you tightened your arms around his waist.

"I told you I needed attention," you replied after a rather long, drawn-out sigh. "So, just call this a compromise."

He paused for a moment to process your words. Since he remained still this time, you could allow your muscles to relax and nestle your face against his back.

It was clear to him: you were not to be swayed.

With an eye roll, he returned to slashing away at the papers of his unaware students.

"Such a pest," he grumbled, but a small smile still rested on his lips.

"I know," you snickered. "But, that's why you love me, right?"

"Just go to sleep."
