Gumball awoke to the feeling of tingles everywhere on his body. It felt so nice, so peaceful. After their little "session" with each other last night, he had dreamed of being embraced by her more. He also dreamed of...going further.

'Aaaand that's something I best keep to myself...' He thought as he outstretched his arms.

Nicole, feeling him stir, slowly awoke herself. As her tired eyes soon focused on Gumball, she decided a 'good morning kiss' would be a perfect thing at that moment. With a somewhat swift motion, she rose behind him. As he outstretched his arms and tilted his head back, she made her move. She locked lips to an unsuspecting Gumball. This made him open his eyes in surprise, before closing them slowly and giving into the gentle kiss. After a few seconds she pulled back.

"Good morning~" she said lovingly, causing her 'target' below to gain a very dark shade of red on his cheeks.

"You know that wasn't very nice. Embarrassing me like that..."

Nicole wrapped him in her arms and rested her chin on his head.

"I'm sorry. But I must admit, you do look pretty cute when you blush like that."

A mumble of pouty words could be heard emanating from Gumball, causing her to smile in delight. Just then, Gumball stopped, went silent for a moment, before responding back with a changed tone. A playful one in fact.

"Oh, so I look cute blushing huh?"

He then turned to face her before using his body to push her back onto the bed, surprising her and catching her off guard. He then climbed on top of her and pinned her arms gently off to her sides before looking smugly at her.

"Well, miss beautiful, I'd say you look even cuter then me when you blush..."

Nicole blinked before processing what happened. Then she felt it. Her cheeks were quite warm. She WAS blushing.

'Oh he's good...' she thought to herself.

Nicole, not wanting to be bested by her lovely opponent, decided to 'up the stakes'.

"Hm, I don't know. I still think you look the cutest when you blush. Especially-" she stopped herself mid sentence as she freed herself and pinned Gumball below her in a similar fashion before continuing.

"Especially, after last night with your little...incident."

That statement seemed to turn Gumball's face into a shade of red that would rival a tomato.

"H-hey! No fair..." he said averting his gaze and making a small pout with his face.

She had won. Another victory for her like that had made her feel so good.

"Ha, gotcha."

Gumball rolled his eyes before meeting her gaze once again.

"You're too good at this..."

Nicole leaned in closer, smiling at him.

"Maybe so...but there is something you seem to be better at then me..."

This grabbed his attention.

"Hm, like what?"

She leaned in and softly planted a kiss on his lips before pulling back.

"Like eating a much more hearty breakfast then me."

Gumball grew a very big grin at that, before snickering.

"Very true, very true..."

Almost on queue, his stomach grumbled. This caused Nicole to laugh herself and Gumball to give her a look of annoyance.
