It's been a long day, one of those that leave you mentally and physically drained so all you can do is potato blankly on your couch, looking at your TV which you haven't turned on yet
You hear the front door open, and see Kronii walk in from the foyer
Something about the way she's carrying herself is sluggish, even taking off her shoes seem to be more of a task than usual
As you look at her, she returns your gaze with a blank stare of her own, almost as if she's mimicking you
"You had a rough day by the looks of it."
"I could say the same for you, Kronii."
Probably from being indolent for the past few minutes, you stretch your arms outward, closing your eyes to give out a tired yawn
You suddenly feel a presence on you, and when you open your eyes, you see Kronii sitting on your lap, her face looking a touch pensive
"Kronii?"
"Let me recharge for a bit."
Kronii takes this opportunity to scooch herself closer to you and takes you into a deep embrace, even going as far as to wrap her legs around your torso.
Normally you'd think this would be a real doki-doki moment, but even with the side of her head pressed up against your chest, you feel oddly at calm
You return her kindness by hugging her back in return, taking special care to hold her lithe frame with just the right amount of force
One of your hands comes in contact with the back of her head, and you can't resist the urge to softly ruffle her hair a bit with gentle movements
"That new shampoo of yours smells good, Kronii."
"Heh, I'm glad you noticed. You're not so stinky yourself."
The two of you chuckle softly to each other.
"So... feel free to tell me if you want me to get off you."
"I'm good, take your time."
"Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to be making the time puns, mister. But thanks... I needed this."
Truth be told you did as well, but let's just enjoy this little slice of infinity quietly for juuuust a little bit longer...
