(Y/n) POV

We stood in the shower a little while longer, basking in the warmth of the water and each others company. Calloused fingers gently traced the scars on my skin, rubbing them lightly with affection. With every second that passed, I felt my eye lids get heavier. Ash took note of this, quickly finishing up in the shower and getting out. I followed sleepily. A fluffy towel was wrapped around my body, secured at the front by folding over itself. Another towel was thrown over my head as gentle hands rubbed my hair, drying it. I groaned slightly as it was lifted, coming face to face with Aslan. He smiled softly down at me, ruffleing my already frizzy hair.

Ash then dried his hair with the same towel, leaving me to dry my own body off. To be honest, I would have happily sat in the thick, fluffy towel all day, but I new someone wouldn't let that happen. "C'mon, (Y/n). Are you going to dry yourself, or do you want me too?" Ash chuckled slightly, rolling his eyes when I nodded drowsily. He did what he said he would, gently drying off the rest of my skin before helping me into an oversized button up T-Shirt. Ash put on his own button up, stepping forwards to me. In one swift movement, I was taken off my feet and into his arms. I was too tired to retaliate, so just let Ash carry me to the bed we shared.

I was gently laid down onto the soft covers, Aslan soon dropping down next to me and covering the two of us with blankets and duvets. I shuffled closer to him, nestling my face into his chest. A pair of arms wrapped securely around me, pulling me close to Ash's warm body. A face nuzzled into my hair, sighing contentedly. "Goodnight, (Y/n). Sleep well." Ash smiled into my hair, kissing my head before falling into sleep, me not far behind him.

I was woken up early the next morning, bright rays of sunlight hitting my face as the filtered through the curtains. I yawned, snuggleing deeper under the covers for a while longer, not ready to wake up just yet.

My peaceful morning was interrupted by the bedroom door opening and Eiji coming in with a tray, closely followed by a protesting Ash. "Eiji! She's still sleeping, don't disturb her." Ash sighed, but Eiji paid him no mind. Walking over to the bed and placing the tray onto the bedside table, chuckling softly as I glared at him from my warm spot under the sheets. "I don't think shes asleep." He smiled at Ash triumphantly as I whined softly at the smell of food. "Of course she's not now..." Ash grumbled as Eiji left. I sat up slowly, stretching with a yawn. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I saw Ash stood by my side, uncovering the good smelling food. It was (f/b/f), my eyes lit up at the sight of it.

I reached over to it, placing it on my lap and eating it hungrily. Ash watched me eat, a look of surprise and amusement on his face. "Hungry?" He chuckled lightly, to which I nodded, woulfing down what was left of my food and downing a mug of coffee. "Aww... you left none for me." Ash pouted playfully, crossing his arms like a toddler. "Did you make it?" I asked slowly, wiping my mouth on a napkin. He nodded with a proud smile, clearing up the plates and putting them back on the night stand. My eyes widened with shock. "I didn't know you could cook... please do so more often!" I begged, clasping my hands together. Ash laughed at me, wrapping his larger hands around my clasped one. "Okay, I will do love." He placed a gentle kiss on my knuckles and then a chaste kiss on my lips, smiling softly into it.

"Have I gotta get up today?" I mumbled, whining softly as Ash pulled away. "Yup." He replied with a smirk, his fingers slowly wrapping around the edge of my blanket. "Don't you fucking dare." I warned, clinging onto the warm material for dear life. In one swift movement, Ash yanked the cover off me, and because I was still holding onto it tightly, my body was taken with it. I fell onto the floor in a heap, clutching the fluffy blanket. "(Y/n), you've gotta get up. We're leaving in an hour." Ash sighed, squatting down next to me and poking my shoulder. I peered at him begrudgingly before pulling the cover back over my head, snuggling under it and hiding from Ash.
