Yozakura waiting on Anon.

Yozakura curled up on the couch wrapped in a robe to fed off the cold air. It was late at night and she forced herself to read through a novel on a tablet that had been gifted to her. The screens glow reflected off of a pair of reading glasses. She wasn't particularly interested or literate on computers but the tablet had won her over. It even gave her a chance to read a book written by a friend. Unfortunately she struggled to finish each page due to her thoughts constantly wandering.

 

She had moved in with her partner and his job meant he was always on the clock. He'd been called out just before dinner and promised he'd be home soon but his dinner had long since gone cold and it had grown late enough that Yozakura fought her tired eyes. Her concern for his whereabouts made it impossible for her to comfortable and drift off to sleep so bedtime was out of the question.

 

There was a commotion outside of a car driving away and some incoherent yammering. Yozakura perked up from her seat and listened in on the sound of footsteps scuffing towards to the front door. The door handle shifted and there was loud taps of someone trying to stab a key into the hole. Yozakura wrapped herself in her robe and crept to the door and opened it to find her partner.

 

He struggled to stay upright and reeked of booze 'Hey huggy I'm foam!' Anon slurred 'Yer sho bewtifuwl.' His hands reached out and clung to Yozakura both in an attempt to stay upright and out of desire to pet her. In a moment of inhibition he leaned in to plant a peck on Yozakura's lips.

 

'Just what have you been up to?' Yozakura pinched her nose and held her partner back 'When did you go drinking?'

 

'I jush netted to relush.' He mumbled 'I'm sho shick of wurk awl th'time sho I wen an' hung out wif' shum frunds.' Anon's knees buckled and Yozakura had to catch him and hold him up. With complete disregard for his own state of mind he pawed at Yozakura 'I wub ya shweetie.'

 

'I know you do' Yozakura sighed. She'd never seen him in such a state. With Anon's arm over her shoulder she kicked her leg back and closed the front door then slowly dragged him towards the bedroom 'You're so reckless. I can't believe you got so drunk.' Yozakura grumbled 'Honestly what were you thinking?'

 

'I'm shaw'wee' Anon murmured and let out a hiccup 'Werks jush pushin me sho' hard. I'm alwaysh havin' ta' go out an' do shtuff for pupple. I jush wanna shpend time wiv you and relash buh eweryvun wantsh to pull me ahwey.' He let out an "oof" as Yozakura laid him onto the bed and he took Yozakura's hand 'Thish wun't habben agin I shwear. Yur ta' gewd ta' me an' I dun wanna hav ya werry.'

 

'Let's just get you to bed' Yozakura groaned. She draped his arm onto the bed and began untying his shoes 'You're going to pay for this in the morning mister. Had me up all night worrying about you.' Yozakura looked up to see if he was even listening but her partner had drifted off to sleep already and gently snored. 'Boys' Yozakura shrugged her shoulders in defeat 'I'll forgive you this time. The hangover will be enough of a punishment.'

 

Yozakura yanked Anon's shoes and socks off and shifted him into bed. She made sure he was tucked in tightly and left water by his bedside along with a bucket and tissues that she hoped he wouldn't wake up and have to use. Now she too could finally go to sleep and she joined him under the covers.

 

When morning came Yozakura found Anon with his head under the covers. She lifted the covers to check on him 'Morning darling.' Anon growled at the sunlight and cradled his pounding temples. Yozakura leaned in and planted a kiss on Anon's forehead 'Oh dear, looks like someone's sick. I'll make sure to call your work and see if they'll let you off.' Yozakura cheerfully hopped out of bed and went to go fix some breakfast and gave out a little chirp 'I'll make sure to take good care of you.'
