[First-person POV]
I wake up, Rowen is laid sleeping next to me. 'So warm... I don't want to get up.' I think to myself. I hold Rowen close to me and burrow my face into the crook of their neck. They smell nice... their fur is so soft... I can't but to pet the soft fur on their belly. Er... not in a creepy way of course. I bring my legs up, curling myself around their smaller body. One arm under them, the other over, holding them against my body. I have one of my legs stuck between theirs comfortably.
My eyes closed, I can feel Rowen shift slightly and sigh softly. I gently move my head up to whisper in their ear. "Are you awake?'
Rowen lets out a groggy "Mhm." I lay my head on the side of their face. "Do you want to get up?" I ask them, though they haven't even answered yet I'm still sad at the chance they do want to. I could lay here forever...
They answer with sound again. "Mm-mm" for a no.
"Good. I don't want to either." I gently rub my cheek against them and give a little kiss.
They gently roll over to face me, I loosened my hold on them so they could. They smoosh their face into the fur on my chest, holding their hands under their chin. When they do look up at me, with their tired eyes, they smile and then look away shyly. "..Mm... Can I have a kiss?" They look back up to me. I smile back at them. "I don't know... Caaan you?" I tease them and they respond with a pouty look. I close my eyes and rub my nose against theirs sweetly. "I'm sorry, I'm only joking~" I open my eyes again and look at them lovingly before closing them again and affably kissing them on their mouth. The kiss lasts a few seconds before I part from them. They look at me happily and snuggle back into me.
"I love you a lot, [y/n]." They say, their words almost muffled by my fur in their face. I place my hand on the back of their head and start petting them, they rub their head against my chest.
"I love you more, Rowen~" I reply sing-songingly. They shake with a "Nuh-uh." I stay silent, only replying again in my head. If I were to say it out loud, we'd just be going back and forth for hours. How generic of us to do. Arguing about who loves each other "more" than the other.
I can tell by Rowen's breathing that they have fallen back asleep. I kiss their forehead and then rest my own head on theirs again. I soon drift back into sleep myself...
