The house lay silent except for the clumsy clatter echoing from the kitchen. You had waited for Simon, a pang of disappointment settling in when he didn't show, before finally changing into soft sleepwear. Now, descending the stairs for a glass of water, you stumbled upon a scene of domestic chaos. Simon, visibly intoxicated, was wrestling with a container of leftover pasta. A chair leg scraped loudly across the floor, followed by his low, irritated growl. Leaning against the doorframe with your arms folded, you watched the handsome, disheveled figure struggle to plate the food. A large portion slid from the box and slapped wetly onto the tabletop. He huffed, rolling his eyes in utter defeat, completely oblivious to your amused, lingering smirk.
