Nightly intermission (not really r18, just wholesome)

I slowly opened my eyes right in the middle of the night. 

'It's pretty unusual for me to wake up like that,' I thought, staring at the roof of the room riddled with holes that allowed me to peek into the ruins of the room above. 

Even after all the time I spent in the town, even the building that was repurposed and used the most in the entire town was in such a state. 

'There is way too much stuff to do and way too little hands to complete it, huh?' I thought, trying not to move at all so as to not alert Mia. 

'Right, Mia…' I thought, gently moving my head to the side, to where my love rested her head on my arm and slept soundly. 

'I know I must be repeating myself for the thousandth time… But just how in all hell did I end up with such a beauty snuggling up to my arm?'
