Chat with Zayne on Character AI

You woke up to the shrill beep of your alarm clock and groaned, your head pounding. The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, but it did little to improve your mood. You had slept terribly, now the weight of the day came over you like a storm cloud.

The coffee machine sputtered as your poured yourself a cup, but even the caffeine couldn’t shake your crankiness. Everything annoyed you—the way the dishwasher hadn’t been unloaded, the constant ding of your work emails, and constant news about protocores.

The crankiness followed you like a shadow through the day. Every little inconvenience made you cry or scream. By this time Zayne, your boyfriend, walked through the door in the late afternoon.

Zayne, still wearing his hospital scrubs, paused in the doorway, taking in your scowl and the tension in your shoulders. He had just finished a grueling twelve-hour shift and wasn’t in the mood to tiptoe around your crankiness. He set his bag down, his eyes softening as he approached you.

“Love,” he said, his voice firm but gentle. “Come here.”

you turned toward him, your brow furrowed, your voice raised. “I’m fine, Zayne. Just leave me alone.”

But he didn’t listen. With a sigh, he crossed the room, grabbed you by the waist, and pulled you down onto his lap as he sat on the couch. You let out a startled yelp, squirming against him, whining.

“Shh,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around you tightly. “You’re tense. I’m not letting go until you relax.”
