[ Khur's POV ]

I awoke the next morning to soft snores beside me, and I felt my eyes flutter open slowly. I turned my head to look over at Bates, who was fast asleep, a blanket covering his naked torso and hips. I smiled and kissed his forehead, causing him to turn and smile, snuggling close to me. Chuckling, I kissed him once more, before getting up. He clawed towards me, and I saw his eyes open, causing me to laugh. Bates pouted, and I leaned back down, gently kissed his forehead once again. He snickered.

"Good morning~" Bates purred, and I chuckled lowly.

"Hello, darling~"

"Where are you going?" Bates asked as he sat up, and I ruffled his hair.

"Bathroom, going to shower," I said as I pulled him close to my body. I saw his cheeks flush red, causing a small smile to spread across my face. Bates looked up at me, and I nodded.

"Before you ask, you can," I said, and Bates let out a soft giggle, nodding and standing up slowly. Once I saw him wobble, I went down to gently support his legs, helping keep him up straight. He smiled over at me and I nodded gently, helping him to the bathroom. His hair was ruffled and messed up, and his body was still soaked with sweat. I nuzzled into his hair, taking in his scent, and he let out a soft laugh.

"What is it? Do I smell alright?" Bates asked, and I smiled.

"Just fine. You caught my scent," I spoke with a small chuckle, and Bates face turned a deep red. I laughed and gently turned the knob on the shower, causing the water to jump out of the shower head and onto the ground. I gently helped Bates get into the shower, watching as he held onto the wall for support. Smiling, I followed behind him, wrapping my arms around his small and fragile body. His arms wrapped around mine, and he gave them light kisses, causing me to nuzzle up in the crook of his neck. He let out a soft noise of delight, and I gently rubbed his waist and hips.

"All of a sudden you're so gentle, what're you thinking about?" Bates asked curiously, followed by a snicker. I let out a soft laugh once more.

"Caring for you, I don't want my precious baby to be hurt," I said gently. "Did I hurt you last night?"

"No, and if you did, I liked it," Bates stuck his tongue out at me. "I wouldn't care, all I could think about was how handsome you were at that moment."

"Are you saying I only looked handsome while fucking you?"

"No, dumbass. You looked even more handsome."

"Now you're switching up your words, make up your mind," I laughed. Bates smiled in my direction.

"Fine, it was great. I loved it," he smiled in my direction, and I placed a gentle kiss on his lips. He smiled once more and I pulled him closer.

"I never wanna let you go," I whispered in the crook of his neck, giving soft kisses up the nape of his neck and back down to his shoulder, near his collarbone. He let out another soft noise of delight, and I smiled against his neck. I felt his fingers tangle in my hair and grip it slightly as I continued to kiss down from his shoulder to his left breast, and he spun around in my arms. He faced up at me and I gazed down at him.

It felt as if I was floating.

We gazed into each other's eyes for a long time, and his hand came up to cup my cheek. I nuzzled into his palm and smiled, and I saw tears brim his gleaming eyes. As I began to frown, he pulled me down and kissed my lips passionately. Caught off guard, I began to kiss him back, cupping his face in my hands and holding him close to my chest. I felt the tears run down his cheeks and he let out soft and quiet sobs in between kisses, and I held him tighter to my chest, keeping him as close as I could. He pulled my face up from the kiss, making me stare into his eyes once again.
