𝖨 𝖶𝖠𝖪𝖤 𝖴𝖯 𝖮𝖭 𝖩𝖩．Somewhere, in the middle of the night, I must've rolled on top of him, clinging onto him like a child clinging onto their favourite toy. He feels comfortable── so much so that I'm tempted to lock us in here and stay like this forever. I slept so well with JJ beside me, so I never want to pull myself away from him.
His arm is around my back, holding me against him as I force myself to wake. I really don't want to wake. I just want to sleep beside him and forget that the outside world exists, but I'm not allowed to do that.
We have priorities. We have things we have to do today. We have to get a win. I feel a lot better today── far better than I did yesterday, so I am determined to be of use to my friends. I'm going to be there for Pope, help him and our friends find that cross, and then we'll be on the path to victory... I hope.
We're getting a win.
We need a win.
First I need to pry myself off him even if that's the last thing I want to do. I stretch against him, trying to gain the feeling in my limbs. Slowly, I push myself up with a hand on his chest, not wanting to wake him, but I should've known I'd wake him.
He stirs awake, eyes blinking open to find me. He offers me a tired, slanted smile that has my entire body tingling. My stomach overturns, the wings of a thousand butterflies fluttering as I stare at him with my bottom lip tucked between my teeth.
He's pretty, have I mentioned that?
"Morning," I whisper, lifting my hand off his chest as I need to get away from him before I fall right back into his arms and stay there. I need to change and get outside of my bedroom before I'm swallowed whole.
JJ wipes a hand over his face. "Morning, Sunshine." Yeah, I could absolutely get used to hearing him say that every morning.
I lift myself off my bed, needing to grab some kind of clothing to wear. JJ lifts himself up too, yawning into his hand as he brings himself off my bed. While I wish we could stay in bed forever, we have priorities that need to be sorted. I have to make up for my lack of help yesterday.
