sunday morning, dexaleen

feb 22 2021

"i know you're awake."

dex softly laughed, cuddling deeper into the blankets. "shh," he mumbled. "let's just stay here. we can... cuddle."

"but i have work," rosaleen said, with an affectionate smile. still, she didn't make a move to get out of bed.

"we saved the world—"

"well."

"okay, we kinda saved the elvin world, so you can miss a day of work."

rosaleen laughed. "you're such a bad influence," she murmured. "that was like years ago, dex."

"we still did it, babe." dex peeked at her, smiling when they locked eyes.

she laughed. "i guess you're right."

there was a comfortable silence between them; "what?" rosaleen said after a moment, laughing. "you're smiling like that again."

"you're just really beautiful," dex said, with a cheeky smile.

rosaleen shook her head, a smile on her lips. "god, you're cheesy," she said, chastely kissing him. "i love you."

he cuddled closer to her, a content look on his face. "i can name a lot of things perfect about you. like, so many things."

"are you sure you're not sleep-deprived?" she asked, to which he laughed.

"nah," dex said. "for one, your eyes. i really like them."

"mhm, i'm glad. they're blue, just like all of the elvin population."

"no, they're gold also." he smiled. "they're stunning, rosaleen."

a blush dusted her cheeks and she laughed. "i like your eyes too." she lazily played with his hair, cheek against her arm. "they're the prettiest color."

dex's face turned pink. "really?"

she smirked. "you're still terrible at taking compliments. yes, they're gorgeous, and i love them so much. i love your freckles, too, they're beautiful."

"just like you."

rosaleen groaned, laughing. "don't turn it on me," she protested, as he wrapped his arms around her, pressing a gentle kiss against her jaw.

"i'm right though," he murmured. "i am so right."

rosaleen smiled. he smelled like coconuts and vanilla, the same as the night they hugged so long ago. "i love you, dex, but you're so dense."

"aww."

she laughed, letting herself settle in his arms.

there was a silence—they both knew they were home here.

dex rolled onto his side, and rosaleen leaned in to kiss his lips. their legs tangled underneath the sheets as he returned it; it was slow but sweet, like honey, if you will.

either way, he made her feel safe and loved, and that alone was enough for her.

his lips were warm and soft, and if she could kiss him forever, she would.

by the time they pulled away, rosaleen's lungs were burning.

she breathlessly laughed, still close enough that their breaths mixed. "i love you," she murmured to him. "i love you so much."

dex chuckled, pulling her closer. "i love you more."
