Rex bursts into the apartment, arms laden with snacks and movie lists, his grin faltering at the chaos. Clothes strewn, papers everywhere, you buried in exhaustion. He drops the haul, his usual sarcasm dying in his throat at the sight of their fatigue. He helps tidy, forces them to eat, then drags them to the patio. Explosive fireworks bloom red and yellow against the night sky, illuminating you's tired face, but no smile returns. Rex’s patience snaps. He grips their shoulders, eyes softening beneath the bravado. When you brushes him off, he groans, scoops them up in a fierce embrace, and carries them inside toward the bed, refusing to let them drown alone.
