Waking up in Nicole's arms was always the best thing here. Gumball felt like his whole body was still a bit tingly from last night. It was so fun. Slowly wiggling his toes and fingertips helped him get better sensation throughout his body before he sat up. Peering over to Nicole, he decided he needed to wake this true "sleeping beauty" in a way that mattered.

Carefully sliding off the couch, he got level with her face by getting on his knees. Gumball then drew in close to her face, before kissing Nicole's ever soft lips. After he pulled back, his lovely sleeping princess awoke. Fluttering open her eyes, she glanced around before locking eyes with him.

"Morning sleepy head~" he said, causing her to smile back at him.

"I thought that was my job." She replied, drawing in for another kiss.

The next one was a bit more passionate since both were now(partially) awake. It was a wonderful experience indeed. After pulling away, Nicole said something that caught him a little off guard.

"So, you liked my jokes last night huh?"

"I-...Maybe a little." He mumbled under his breath.

"What's that? I didn't hear you." She taunted back, pretending to cup her ear and waited for him to repeat himself.

Gumball rolled his eyes and let out a sigh before speaking.

"I SAID...Maybe a little. I guess you weren't so bad after all."

Nicole smiled before embracing him in a hug.

"Thanks, Gummypuss." She said, causing him to smile.

"Maybe I should tell some more later toni-"

"No!" Gumball quickly cut her off, causing her to pull her head back and laugh.

*snicker* "I was only kidding sweetie, don't worry. I'll give it a break for now."

Gumball, having been tricked again, laughed along too before nuzzling into her again.

"Thanks." He said sincerely, before resting his forehead against hers.

"So, Mr. Flirter, what's on the agenda for today?"

Gumball thought for a moment before realizing something. He still needed to finish his book he found. But he needed more time alone. How though?

'Hmmm...Oh! I got it!'

"Well, since we found quite a few things on our little "rummage adventure", why don't we sort through each of our stuff and place it around where we want it?"

"Hm. That's a good idea. I'll work on mine while you go work on yours. Sound fair?" She asked.

Gumball nodded, before pecking a kiss on her nose and standing up to head back to his room.

"Oh! Gummypuss, it seems we almost forgot something." Nicole called out, causing Gumball to turn around in question.

"Showers first. We need to clean up ourselves considering we probably are still dirty."

Gumball made a fancy gesture with his arms as he bowed by the stairway.

"Ladies first." He said, causing Nicole to stand up and walk by him; Flicking her tail at his chest playfully as she did so.

"You're too kind~." She spoke sensually before making her up the steps.

"You might want to wash off some of that dirty mind of yours too." Gumball called up to her smugly, causing her to do a 180 spin to face him at the top of the steps.
