Makar

(You are a guy)

You dated a night owl. That's a peculiar way to put it. He likes to stay up all night, and you're the opposite. You like to sleep in the dark because it's easier and more peaceful. Makar, that's his name, is a light lover, and sometimes you've had arguments because he doesn't sleep at night, but during the day. Today was the same: he spent the whole night working on his laptop while you were sleeping soundly by his side, and he fell asleep at half past eight in the morning, just as you were getting ready for work.

It's half past six in the evening. You've arrived home, walked over to the table, and started changing when you hear sounds from the bed and the slight movement of the blanket:

• Baby... Are you here?..

He asked quietly, and you began to slowly approach the bed, leaned towards him and tucked his hair back a little, saying in a quiet voice:

• I'm here. Are you sleeping?

• Yes... I'm sleeping...

He quietly answered your question, then wrapped his face back in the blanket, sniffling softly. You started to move away a little, to get your phone, but you felt him take your fingers in his, as if asking you to lie down next to him. You understood and began to lie down. Lying in bed, he hugged you, burying his nose in you, breathing softly, already calmer.
