Shining Heroes

Chapter 103

I woke up to sunlight shining directly in my eye and the sound of Mood happily humming in my bathroom.

At first I didn't register why I was so cold, but when I sat up I remembered the events from last night.

I remembered last night that one of my hoodies got tossed a side last night and when I looked around I couldn't find it. While Mood was still humming I got up and wrapped a blanket around myself.

Sure enough when I walked over to the bathroom door I saw she was standing infront of the mirror only wearing the missing hoodie. She was humming as she touching up the lipstick that got messed up last night.

I looked have over and I couldn't help but smirk at the various handprints accidentally left that could be very easily mistaken for sun burns, not that anyone would be seeing them.

"Good morning beautiful." I said grabbing her attention.

She looked over me with a giant smirk on her face.

"Good morning." She said before walking over to me. "If you didn't wake up soon I was going to have to wake you up."

"I dont think I would have minded that." I smiled and pulled her closer to me with the pocket of the hoodie.

She immediately draped her arms over my shoulders and rested her forehead against mine.

"I love you so much." She whispered like this moment would be gone before we knew it.

"I love you too." I whispered back before kissing her again.

After a few seconds she pulled away with a big grin.

"We dont have time for that I have an interview if a few hours and you have one in two." She smirked. "Why dont you take a shower while I cook us something to eat?"

"Or you could join me in the shower and we could grab a bite on the way to the interviews." I tried to counter, but she simply smiled and shook her head no. "I'll be out in a minute."

I gave her another quick kiss, before I caught sight of myself in the mirror covered in the same bright red lipstick Mood was wearing.

"You sneaky siren." I laughed and she just smirked and made her way to the kitchen.

After quickly showering I tightly wrapped the towel around myself as I went to dry my hair.

I noticed the lipstick marks didn't come off all the way. 

'What did she use for this lipstick?'

I left the bathroom in just the towel and walked over to the kitchen. She was still only wearing my hoodie and humming to herself while cooking.

"You know if I didn't know  better I would think you wanted these to stay." I said as I wrapped my arms around her waste.

"You look good with makeup on." I could hear her smirking as she spoke.

"Where is your stuff to take this off?" I asked softly.

She moved away from the stove and sat on the island across from it.

"How do you know I brought it with me?" She playfully smirked.

I moved to where I was standing in between her legs and stood on my toes to reach her face.

"We both know you used it to fix your makeup this morning." I smiled and kissed her nose.

She just smiled and stared at me like she didn't know what I was talking about.

"Well if you don't tell me I'll just have to go to that interview like this towel and all." I teased.

I was surprised she actually froze like she was imagining that happening before her face turned red and she smiled.

"I put it on the coffee table." She softly spoke.

As I walked away she hopped off the counter and  continued to cook.

Thankfully it didn't take much of the solution to wipe the lipstick off my face and neck. Once I had finshed clearing myself of the lipstick I put on a t shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

"If you want to get dressed I will finish cooking." I suggested.  "I know you have to head straight out and get ready after eating."

"I won't have time to get ready and make it on time." She smiled and began plating some eggs and avocado toast. "Besides the clothes I wore last night I wore maybe for an hour."

She placed both plates on the island as I sat down on one of my stools.

"Won't people notice you are wearing the same outfit?"

She silently sat down like she was thinking. "Most likely, unless..." she spoke with a smile.

"Unless what?" I asked before shoving eggs in my mouth.

"Can I borrow one of your hoodies?" She asked with a sweet smile.

I choked my eggs down while she continued to smile waiting for her answer.

"Isn't that risky?" I asked after managing to clear my airway.

"Not if I wear one of your solid color ones. Millions of people have solid colored hoodies, besides I've been wanting to ask for one of your hoodies for a reminder of you." She looked as if she was starting to blush.

I know for sure at this point I has to be blushing myself.

"If you would like you can pick one." I just know I ended up smiling while saying that.

As if it were a limited time offer she silently but quickly finshed her food, before heading over to my close where I kept my collection of hoodies and began to look through them.

I looked away to finish eating while she got dressed.

"I've got to leave soon, do you want to tag along?"

I turned around to see Mood wearing a black hoodie over her and her pink skirt poking out the bottom. It was just long enough to cover the hand prints on her thighs.

"I've got to finish getting ready," I spoke as I tried to keep my eyes on her face. "And I have something that should be arriving today that I want to be here for."

She looked like she was about to leave when she sat down next to me.

"Before I leave. I was thinking we should probably come up with some sort of code." She spoke like it was an extremely important mater.

"Code for what?"

"It risky for us to day I love you, even in french." She looked around the apartment like she was avoiding her reasoning. "But the other night at The Lab you stated you loved me and thankfully things were too hectic for most, if anyone to notice you said that."

"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have but..." she cut me off as I tried to explain what she already knew.

"I know, but in those situations if we survive and other people hear it there could be repercussions. I don't want that for either of us." She sighed. "I don't want you in those situations, but we both know that comes with the job."

"So what do you suggest we say instead?"

"I don't know yet. We can discuss it later or next time you wish to say it in public or if we get into one of those situations say what comes to mind."
