101 - Immaculate

The next morning, Rylee woke up first and was fully regretting not closing the curtains before they went to bed last night. She groaned as she rolled out of bed, accidentally pulling the blanket as she went.

She heard another, deeper groan from behind her when she did.

She looked back towards the noise as she closed the curtains to see a disheveled Sebastian, aimlessly grasping his hand out, trying to find the blanket without opening his eyes.

She thought she was off to a rough start, but looking at Sebastian, she realized she was far better off.

He was clad in just black boxer briefs, hair wavy and tousled every which way, a pitiful pout crossing his lips as his hand still couldn't quite find the blanket.

Rylee reached over and lightly tossed the blanket towards Sebastian and he sighed when he felt it make contact with his hand as he rolled over, pulling it with him. "Mm. Thanks, Ry," Sebastian replied with a deep morning drawl.

"You gonna make it?" Rylee chuckled at Sebastian's sad state as she put on her glasses.

"Nope." Sebastian replied quietly, now buried and curled into the blanket, even on this warm June morning.

Rylee slowly padded around the bed, patting him on the butt as she walked by, "I'll be right back."

She heard a groan in understanding from him as she turned the corner.

She went downstairs to the kitchen and rounded up two bottles of Gatorade and some ibuprofen before she slowly made her way back up  to the bedroom.

Sebastian was still exactly where she left him, completely hidden under the blanket, even though the room was dark.

"You know, your eyeballs are safe. Curtains are closed," Rylee said as she gently sat next to him on the bed, swallowing down her own ibuprofen as she tapped him to offer him some.

He pulled the blanket down, enough to squint in Rylee's direction, putting out his hand, waiting for her offering.

He realized he needed to sit up to take them and groaned as he slowly pushed the blanket off and pulled himself up to lean against the headboard. He popped the ibuprofen into his mouth and took a swig of the Gatorade Rylee offered.

"Thanks, baby." Sebastian said, voice husky and low, still trying to wake up.

"You're welcome," Rylee said as she gently sat on the bed and leaned over to give him a swift kiss, "I'm going to get some Round Corner delivered. And we can just camp in bed."

"God I fucking love you. I knew there was a reason I'm marrying you." Sebastian said as he stretched, slowly laying back down in the bed.

Rylee laughed as Sebastian curled back up and opened up the blanket, beckoning Rylee to crawl in with him.

Rylee was annoyed with her past self for agreeing to switch shifts with Jenna at work today, so now she had to head in for noon instead of 8. Luckily her hangover seemed to die down quickly, though Sebastian's was just starting to settle when she left for work.

As she walked out the door, Sebastian gave her a quick goodbye and an I love you before he quickly rolled over and decided to take a nap to stem off the last bits of the headache and nausea trying to naw at him.

At around 5:00, Sebastian was relaxing in bed, hangover finally gone and settled, scrolling through his phone when he got a call from Daniel Bruhl. He had mentioned last month that he had recently bought a second house in the city and he called just now asking him, Chris, and Anthony to help him with somethings at his new place.
