Sleepy Surprise

NOTE:
This book is meant for reading on AO3 (Archive of Our Own) however I've posted it here to keep anyone who actually enjoys my stories at bay until I can get to updating them.

This is just a short story to sort of help with some writers block I've had recently. It's just going to be a 3 part side-story that's a part of the Corrupted Stars series.

I'd also like to point out that the scenery for the beginning of this is inspired by Scrumpadouchus' story, Cake by the Ocean! (on AO3) So if you haven't read that yet, please check it out, you won't regret it!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy, and don't forget to leave favorites or comments if you did, it keeps giving me the courage to continue writing! <3

1.

His hand moves up and gently caresses her cheek as her lips part slightly, a soft breath escaping as she takes a new one in. They were huddled by the fireplace, a nest of blankets and pillows surrounding them. Xayah was sound asleep in Rakan's arms, her head pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He stares at her for a minute, taking in the beauty that he had been so fortunate to come across. She is my treasure.

A soft knocking echoes through the hall that led to the doorway of the living area where the two birds currently were. Rakan sighed, glancing down at his beloved once more before gently scooping her off of him and resting her down into their nest, being sure not to remove even the slightest bit of cover from her.

Once she is secure and still tightly wrapped in her covers, he makes his way quietly towards the front door of their home. Living with the baby guardians for a bit was fine, but he definitely liked the privacy they have now. It had been nearly a year since they parted ways from their sisters and purchased a place of their own with the help of Ahri and Sarah, and a lot happens in a year. A lot .

It was small but it was cozy and hidden deep within a forest. A place they could live peacefully and happily. A cabin that was made of brick and wood, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a decently-sized kitchen, and a comfortable living room. It was Xayah's choice, of course. He knew deep down she never liked being around the fresh stars, but they needed guidance and she understood that so she dealt with what she could. One day they were having a dance party while she was trying to bake and ended up dropping the pan, causing her to snap. That's when she knew it was time for them to leave. He could tell she really enjoyed their new place.

Arriving at the door, Rakan takes a peek out of the small, glass-covered hole high up on the door. Outside stood a huddled group of three, two girls and a boy. One of the females was quite short with raspberry red hair and two long ponytails, both of which stood out among the darkness of her winter coat and padded leggings. The other female was a bit taller than the first, with bubblegum pink hair that went down to her shoulders. She wore a long sweater-dress with a thick wool coat over the top. Finally, the boy was the tallest of the three, sharp blonde hair and lighter clothing than both of the females, consisting of a simple zipper jacket and snow pants.

Jinx, Lux, and Ezreal.

They were a few of their star siblings, all of which came to check up on them on a regular basis. It highly irritated Xayah, but Rakan thought it was cute. They were just trying to be civil, after all.

Rakan opens the door, motioning with a hand for the three baby stars to come inside. The cold winter wind swooped in behind them, blowing a few snow flurries inside. Rakan, once the three were inside, quickly closed the door before it got too cold, and waited as the three dusted the snow off of themselves and took off their coats.
