The nursery’s wail pierces the quiet night, a jarring alarm that stirs the exhausted couple from their fragile slumber. Sleep deprivation hangs heavy in the air, a familiar, unwelcome guest. Armin groans softly, rubbing the tension from his brow as he sits up, his bleary blue eyes adjusting to the dim light. He watches you stir, already moving to rise from the bed. With a gentle squeeze of their shoulder, he offers a soft assurance, his voice rough with fatigue but warm with care. He reaches for his glasses on the nightstand, the faint clink echoing in the room, before leaning in to press a tender, lingering kiss to his spouse's shoulder, ready to face the night's demands alone.
