Third person point of view
Oliver sat on the couch in the living room. It was always him who reached home late but today he did not even see Christian's shadow. He came back after closing which was late enough but not seeing Christian home bothered him. He did call but no one picked up the call. He showered and just waited on the couch. He fell asleep without knowing after a few minutes.
Christian walked into the house and saw Oliver sleeping on the couch. He put his things away and took a shower. He then went back down to carry Oliver up to the bedroom. He carefully picked him up and walked up the stairs. Oliver felt the movement and opened his eyes groggily. He smelled Christian's shower gel and his frown relaxed.
Christian also felt the movement. " Sleep ". Oliver shook his head and stayed awake. Christian sat on the bed with Oliver on his lap. Oliver held his face. " Did something happen ? " As time went on he grew more sensitive to Christian's mood and now he could feel that something was not right without trying.
Christian hesitated a little. Oliver reassured him. " It is fine. I am here. Tell me ". " Not a big deal. Just... I did a surgery today. It was not too serious but the doctor was on leave and I was available so I had to do it. So I was late home today. Everything is fine ". Oliver was flabbergasted with the news but he could not panic.
He carefully checked Christian's expression. " Are you fine ? " Oliver rubbed Christian's cheeks. Christian smiled and tilted his head to kiss Oliver's palm. " Yes. It has been a while so I felt a bit nervous but everything went well and the kid is absolutely fine ". Oliver just hugged him without saying anything. Christian hugged him back.
Oliver felt like he would get crushed. But he didn't even frown and let Christian hold him. Christian breathed in Oliver's scent and felt better. His nerves which were tense for the whole day calmed down. He nuzzled against his neck. Oliver rubbed his head. They pulled away slowly and Oliver kissed his forehead. " You did well ". Christian smiled and turned the lights off.
They cuddled in the quilt. " Don't sleep on the couch from now on. You will fall ill if the weather gets chilly ". The sky was overcast these days and there were warnings for rain. " I didn't mean to fall asleep. But I will wait here from now on ". " Good ". Christian kissed his forehead. " Sleep now. Good night ". " Good night hubby ". They fell asleep.
The next day, Oliver was still a little worried and went to Christian for lunch instead of letting him come over. Christian already ordered food for both of them. They had it and Oliver could see Christian was like usual. His heart settled down. Christian wiped his hand with the tissue when there was a knock on the door.
" Come in ". The door opened to reveal a nurse. " The HOD is asking for you sir ". Christian nodded. The nurse left after closing the door. Oliver was still eating but he was almost done. " You should go. Two more bites and I will be done ". " It might take some time. Be careful on your way ". Christian kissed his forehead and walked out of the room.
Oliver finished eating and cleaned up. He was about to walk out of the room when he heard the sound of raindrops hitting the window. He went to the window and saw the dark sky. He searched around the room but there was no umbrella. He decided to just walk fast. It should be fine. He walked out and ran quickly worried it would get heavier than it already was.
He did get drenched and it got heavier before he reached. He quickly went to the changing room and used a hand towel to wipe his hair. There was no drier so he could only rub it a little and decided to let it air dry. He put on the uniform and walked out. Christian went back to his room and noticed the rain.
He wondered if Oliver was drenched. But he thought back and remembered he was almost done when he left so he assumed he left before it rained. He should be fine. He wanted to call but a knock came and there was some patient. " Please come in ". He then forgot about it. The rain also stopped after a few minutes. Christian's day went by like usual and he went home.
Oliver would not come for dinner so he just made something simple and had it. He also washed the dishes and went back to the room. He finished his shower too. Oliver came back at his usual time and took a hot bath. He sneezed while washing up and sniffled. He rubbed his nose. Once he was done, they just fell asleep.
