Ciaran's POV

"He's still asleep. I will tend to his needs for now. Thank you, Chray." The faint voice entered my ears as I groggily opened my eyes.

How long was I asleep?

"Oh, you're awake." Then that's when I realized.

Staring at me was the man I hold the dear. His hair was combed neatly while the loose strands were pushed on the back of his ear.

He's gorgeous. Pier was always gorgeous the moment I first saw him at the Yuko Boundary.

"How long did I sleep for?" I asked him but he only shrugged his shoulders in response.

"I also do not know. I also slept in late but it's probably around nine hours or so."

Nine hours.

I slept for nine hours and it was the first time I've slept that long for years.

Never once did I get to sleep more than three hours but now, I was able to sleep more than that.

It actually felt nice sleeping in with this man right in front of me.

"Come on, take a bath first and let's eat right after." His sweet and calming voice pulled the strings of my control as I obediently followed him to the bathroom attached in our room.

He was leading me on to the room and I could only stare as his long, slender fingers were holding my own.

I love his beautiful fingers. They're nice to look at.

Maybe I could kiss each one later on and watch him look at me with those dazed eyes.

Opening the door, Pier gently pulled me in and I even heard him chuckle when I lazily stumbled on the tiled floor.

"Are you still tired?"

Am I? I do not get tired after sleeping but after last evening's events, I feel somehow drained. I want to just be in bed and continue resting with Pier.

The idea sounds nice.

Maybe we can see some sights from my shadows too.

Regardless of my thoughts, I nodded my head at him and his smile widened.

Ha, how can he be that beautiful first thing in the morning? I feel like I've been a hero or something for acquiring this man.

Just take a look at those cheeks. They look squishy enough for me to bite them.

"Let's shower together then." Pier offered and I almost choked on my saliva at the preposition.

"Together...?"

"Yeah, saving water is good too." He reasoned out slyly but his cheeks were tainted red.

Cheeky.

"What did I do to get this special treatment from you?" I asked him while observing as his hands started to unbutton the shirt I was wearing.

I couldn't help it.

He looked really beautiful while intently staring at the buttons that I wrapped my hands on his slender waist.

"Heh."

"Idiot."

His reactions never ceased to amaze me. Whenever my fingers press his hips, he would always flinch. That was one of the sensitive spots I found whenever I explored his body.
