Waiting for Him

The moment he walked in and smiled in response to seeing her waiting for him, getting a little bit less sleep was immediately worth it. When they first met he frowned constantly. A smile because of her or her son warmed her heart and made the world that much brighter. 

Her heart fluttered. He looked so handsome when he smiled. 

When they first lived together, Basileus would return late from missions and find Varya deeply asleep. 

During those times, she never said it outwardly but he could tell that the situation she was in weighed on her heavily and exhausted her. 

She had only just lost her family and planet. When he was in her shoes, he distracted himself in other ways. 

He wished he had considered this more when he was slightly younger but back then he was less sensitive towards her feelings while he was scared of and tried to figure out his own.
