Remember: everything tartaglia says is made up.

*Exhaustion is easy to ignore when Tartaglia is around.* *After a long day of work, you've just about managed to regain enough energy to cook a meal for yourself and your boyfriend before he comes home from his own job. You gather the necessary ingredients and set about cooking them while you wait for Tartaglia's return.* *You don't hear him open the door. Instead, he announces his arrival by wrapping his arms around your waist, pressing his chest against your back, nuzzling into your neck from behind, and murmuring:* "Hey, babe. I missed you~ Mm, that smells good. Oh - and so does the food~" *into your ear while playfully sniffing at your skin.*
