Azumane has just gotten home, and upon setting his bags down, he heard you in the shower.
He took off his sweater, and set it on the bed. The room was filled with a crispy autumn aroma.
He followed the sound of the shower all the way to the bathroom door.
Peeking inside, he saw your silhouette through the frosted glass.

"Welcome home." You spoke, hearing the floorboards creak. He sheepishly smiled and walked in, now detected.
"Mind if I join you? I've had a long day."
Azumane's face lights up once hearing your positive response.
You heard the rustling of fabric on the other side of the door. Once hearing it slide open, you grew goosebumps when the cold draft hit your body.
Your boyfriend steps in beside you.
"Just get in? The mirror hasn't fogged up yet."

You nodded, looking to him with a smile.
"How's work going?" you asked curiously while stepping aside for him to get under the water. You listen to him talk about coworkers, office drama, and product rate while you ran shampoo through your hair, scrunching it and making sure all the grease gets washed out. After rinsing, Azumane asks how your day went and if there's anything new at work for you.
Since you take the night shift, he figured things would be slow, but it's actually the opposite.
He was shocked how much goes on when taking the graveyard shift.

The two of you talk back and forth while talking taking turns under the water. Eventually, while you lathered conditioner in your hair, you felt strong warm arms around your hips, and a face buried in your neck. Your stomach felt fuzzy and your face heated up. You smiled softly and pay your boyfriends head. You could feel him smelling your conditioner, the scent you only used around this time of year; it being Azumane's favorite.

"Mmm~ pumpkin spice. The entire place smells like it, and now you too?" He laughed before backing off so he could do his hair routine and you could scrub your body while your hair set.

Wrapping a towel around your waist, you dry yourself off while stepping out of the shower behind Azumane. Watching him brush his teeth while drying his hair, you couldn't help but smile in the moment. Everything was perfect.
You joined him in brushing your teeth, the silence accompanied by comfort.

In your shared room, you could feel eyes on you while you pulled your underwear up. Azumane was starring and you knew it. You glance over your shoulder at him and see a large dopey grin.
"What?" You laugh out of your nose, a little embarrassed as you put your arms through a shirt he let you borrow.
"You're just so beautiful, I can't help but stare."

The comment made your eyes flicker to the floor with your own dopey grin. The worst part was that he kept praising you.
"And I can't believe I get to call you mine. You're stunning sweetheart, I couldn't even keep my eyes off of you in the shower."
The chuckle that rang from his throat lingered in your ears longer than you'd like to admit.

Sitting beside him. You mean your head on your shoulder while gazing into his eyes.
Now he was the one to look embarrassed with a little chuckle, "What?"
You shake your head before leaning up and kissing him. He seemed to be waiting for you to do that. He cups the side of your face, tilting his head as his eyes automatically shut.
You two shared a passionate kiss, making out wholeheartedly before a snuggling up under the covers and holding hands.
"Tell you what," Azumane started.
"I'll take the day off tomorrow, and we can go on a date. Just the two of us."

When he sees the smile appear on your face, he couldn't help but smile back, complete fondness in his brown eyes.
"That would be amazing!" You roll on top of him, him wrapping his arms around you in return.
