shawn
i'm sorry. this really sucks
me
don't be sorry. we're just busy these days. we'll be spending lots of time together tomorrow, so a little separation is probably good for us
shawn
i guess. i'd like to see you, though
me
i'd like to see you too. you have the best face in the world
shawn
thanks
me
you can just come over after your thing and sleep with me. no point in driving all the way home. i'll be up anyway
shawn
i think going to your place would actually take longer, but i'd be stupid to turn down such an incredible offer
me
you don't have to if it's too much trouble
shawn
no trouble at all. i want to, anyway
shawn
ugh i've got to go :(((
me
sigh. it's hard being in love with the most incredible person in the world

later that night
"You're early!" I exclaimed after I had swung the door open to reveal my unfairly handsome boyfriend.
Shawn smiled and shrugged. "I pulled a few strings. Ten thirty's not too bad, right?"
He closed the door behind him and I couldn't help but smile, too. "Ten thirty is incredible."
We both laughed a little and he pulled me into his arms, holding me close to him. We stayed like that for a moment; it was the most peaceful I've felt in days. He breathed in and out deeply, as if the exhaustion was actually falling off his shoulders. I always underestimate his fatigue, because he's usually so incredible and unfazed. But God, he must be tired.
"Wanna go straight to bed?" I asked, my voice muffled in his shoulder.
"Yes."
