"It's too cold! Come back!" He whimpered with his face pressed on her leg.
"Gube, I have to go to work." Y/N gently whispered, attempting to break his grip on her waist.
"No, I'm not letting you go, Pumpkin. It's too early to get out of bed." He pulled her closer.
He gently wrapped his arms around her and snuggled close. She sighed and modeled the embrace.
"5 more minutes..." She whined.
------------------------------------------
An hour later, the couple was still lying in bed. The two's hands were intertwined, and all was quiet... until Y/N realized she was an hour late. A whole hour late.
"MATTHEW, I NEED TO GO TO WORK." She yelled while shaking her way out of the bed.
"Pumpkin, not yet. Just take a sick day." He begged.
"Matthew Gray, I took 3 sick days last week after we both got the flu." She facepalmed.
He hated when she had to leave, especially when he had a full day of filming and not enough time to spend with her. Finally, Y/N escaped and ran to the closet to grab her uniform. She ran back to the bed and placed a kiss on Gubler's eyelids.
"The eyelid kiss is said to produce a unique sensation of an un-worldly nature, running from the base of the spine to the knees," Gube explained.
"Your Reid is showing," The young woman giggled. "See ya tonight, Chipmunk."
And, she was out the door. Matthew finally rose out of bed and got dressed, ready to begin his day. He hated that she worked so early and he worked so late, which is why they planned date nights. Every other week, on a night they were both free, they would have a date night. This week, it was his choice of what they would do. Gubler eventually made it to set.
------------------------------------
After work, Matthew went back to the couple's shared house and got dressed for the occasion. I hope she likes this, Matthew thought. There was still anxiety when they had these nights. What if my idea was stupid? What if Y/N doesn't have fun? He shook his head, stop it. He picked up his keys, drove to get his girlfriend, and they were off.
"Chipmunk, what's the spot tonight?" She inquired while twirling her hair in her fingers.
"I can't say, pumpkin." He whispered, a smile spreading across his face.
"A surprise." She exclaimed. She loved surprises. Especially, Gube's surprises. Some of the best include: when Matthew surprised her at work with a giant cupcake for her 24th birthday, when he bought customized Converse shoes that matched for their 3rd anniversary, or when he got to bring her on set so she could be an extra. He was the best at surprises which she loved that about him.
"We're here!" He spoke, parking the car on the side of a busy street.
"Is that-" She tried to ask.
"Yup," Gube responded.
"Are we at a Y/F/A concert?!" She puzzlingly exclaimed. She was bouncing and shaking her hands. You could practically hear her joy in her breathing.
"Happy date night, Pumpkin." He smiled as she ran towards him and gave him the tightest hug.
"I love you, chipmunk." She whispered in his ear right before she kissed his cheek.
"Ditto." He smiled as he wrapped his hand in hers as they walked towards their seats.
The rest of the night was filled with the music of Y/N's favorite artist. They danced and sang, not well, but they did. When it was over, they were absolutely exhausted and took a cab home, both too tired to drive. They each got ready for bed and ended the night the way they awoke. Hands intertwined, Gube holding the young woman in his arms, sleeping soundly after another long night.
