You let out a quiet moan of displeasure, feeling the cold of the night take over your small frame. Your eyes snapped open, and were met with a beautiful, dark purple hue, that made your knees want to buckle. You quickly realize how far away he had moved, and raised a brow. You said nothing, as you reached out to rub his soft gray cheek. He seemed to be.....shaking for some reason. He had a nervous look upon his face, and his fists clenched together into a ball on his chest.
His cheeks were flushed a deep, royal purple, which you thought was extremely adorable. You could hear the faint sounds of traffic from the window, along with a dog barking, and the pitter-patter of rain against the roof. Suddenly, a loud crackle echoed through out the house, making him jump in freight, and pull his head back under the blanket. You let out a short chuckle, lifting the cover to see the outline of his body in the dark, him laying on his side with his knees close to his chest. You pushed yourself up, kissing his forehead, as he wrapped his arms around your waist as well.
You smiled wider at the warmth that instantly radiated onto you as he did. Time passed, and you were beginning to get drowsy and the comfortable heat and softness of your lover's skin was helping you stay awake either. You struggled to keep your eyes open, as yet another roar of thunder rumbled through your house. You felt him squeeze you tighter letting out a quiet gasp. You kiss his cheek one more time, before slipping into a deep sleep. "I-I love you.." You mumble, as your eyes droop shut. You heard him say something afterward, but you were already asleep.
...
You awoke with a jolt, noticing that you were alone once again. You look to the other side of the bed, and you jump when you see it empty. Where could he have gone? Oh, I hate it when he disappears like this! You ran a hand through your knotted curls, a shaky sigh escaping you lips. You despised waking up alone, but you know that he always wakes up early.
"Cod, [Name]. Howw do you manage to sleep so late?" You jumped at the sound of Eridan's voice to your left. Your head shot around to face him, to see him grinning a smug grin down at you from the edge of the bed. You smiled up at him, and roll your eyes.
"How do you wake up so damn early?" You teasingly glare up at him, a smile still present on your features. Your smile quickly faded, "You know I hate waking up alone." A frown seeped into your face, as you folded your arms across your chest in disapproval. He shrugged, taking the comb he was holding, and dragging it through his damp hair. He had his purple town draped lazily around his shoulders, but not covering his gills. His chest dripped with water, as did the rest of his body. Thankfully, he had remembered to put a towel around his waist before leaving the bathroom.
A blush crossed your cheeks when you realized that his usual black sweater and scarf were missing, and a smooth grey chest took their place. He smirked down at you, making your blush noticeably deepen. "Hnnnng....." You groan, "Quit that.."
His smirk went higher on his face, an evil look in his eyes. "Quit wwhat? I'm not doin' anythin." You growled and made a fist, face practically steaming now.
"S-Shut up.." You whisper, before standing and pulling him into a hug, not caring about the water that dripped onto your hair and shoulders as you did. "I-I'm serious. Don't go disappearing every morning, you nearly gave me a heart attack." He stiffed for a second before sighing, and wrapping his arms back around your form.
"......You're lucky you're cute."
"Yeah, I know."
...
You hung up your phone with a smile, and stood. You walked into the living room, where your matesprit was sprawled on the couch, watching Bill Nye the Science Guy with a scowl, which was nothing new for him. You giggle, he can be so adorable sometimes, it drives you crazy. He glances up at you, and a smile spread across his face, as he held out his arms, motioning for you to hug him, and you complied. You nuzzle into his neck, and he kisses your cheek before you pull away to stare into his beautiful purple eyes.
