Nick

His stubble had been irritating you for a long time. Every kiss brings a slight tingling sensation, sometimes even scratches.

“Please shave…” you asked more than once.

But he just waved it off:

• I like it this way.

And then one evening he came back from work tired and fell asleep almost immediately. You looked at him... and suddenly an idea popped into your head.

Quietly taking the razor, you carefully sat down next to him, leaned closer and began to carefully run it across his cheek.

• Be patient...

— you whispered to yourself. He frowned in his sleep and twitched slightly... And he suddenly opened his eyes.

• What are you doing?..

“He asked hoarsely, not yet fully awake. You froze, but then calmly answered:

— I'm saving my cheeks.

He just looked at you for a couple of seconds, trying to comprehend what was happening... And then he grinned, closing his eyes back:

• So, this is what it has come to...

You were about to put the razor away, but he suddenly added:

• Okay, go ahead... just be careful.
