Busy

Your mind was moving so fast still. As the door shut behind you, thoughts of work filled your head. You hung your coat on the hook, and felt your partner’s arms wrap around you. You stiffened in their arms, not expecting the contact. They unwrapped you and took a step back.
“Babe, you’re tense. What’s up?” They said, looking at you, an eyebrow raised.
You sighed, leaning against the wall. “Work - Work was a lot today. I just… You know.” You wave your hand in the air in front of you, and they held out theirs. You took it.
The warmth of their hand was comforting. Your mind was still racing, but you had something else to focus on now, other than work. Their thumb traced small circles on the back of your hand. “Do… Do you want me to help you relax?” They said, eyes still on yours.
You nodded your head. You did want that. “Yeah, give- give me a sec to go put on something comfy.” They smiled, and followed you to the bedroom. Once you had changed, they pushed you onto the chair in the room, and walked around behind you.
Their arms wrapped around you, and they were whispering in your ear. Words of relaxation, of comfort. The transformation in your mind was so quick. From thoughts racing by at a mile a minute, to a sudden stoppage of thought, a blank mindlessness that felt incredible.
“Let your mind go blank. Let all the stresses, all the business of the day drift away on my words. Just as you drift down into trance for me.” They loved doing this for you, and you loved letting it happen. A bit of brainwashing was the perfect antidote to your stress.
