I wake up the next morning, well waking up isn't exactly the right word for it... I became mildly conscious at about 10 am, feeling like I'm covered in a weighted blanket... initially I figured it was just Sukuna, but... this is a suspiciously heavy cat... so I slowly open one eye to see what it is...

It's Arny. Fucking Arny is half on me and has his arm around my hips, his head on my chest. Ugh, he's a bed hog. I go to move him off but he pulls me close as hell and hugs me much tighter... Damn, he's strong... I just accept my fate and close my eyes, going right back to sleep.

Time Skip

I wake up again finally about half an hour later and just keep my eyes closed, relaxing in the heap of comfort that is having Arny holding me and Will leaning on me a little. After a few moments, I feel Will slowly sit up and carefully get himself off the bed, shuffling out.

I feel Arny stir a little and take a long, deep breath. He slowly slides his hand to my stomach, a long sigh in my ear from him. That's hot- gah, no! Bad brain! I try to just pretend I'm still asleep so that I don't have to interact with people, but Will is definitely making coffee because the smell wafts through the room. Fuck, I'm hungry and need that coffee.

Arny slowly lifts his head, I can feel his soft breathing on my cheek and then he mumbles. "I can tell your awake," his voice is oof... true hot morning voice.

I slowly open my eyes, feeling my heart stop as I see how close our faces are to each other. "I just didn't want to wake you by moving..." His nose is barely not touching mine.

"Let's go get coffee," he gets up and walks out to go to the bathroom.

I just lay there in shock, taking a second to process, and then gets up and walks out to the kitchen, my face still bright red.

"Morning!" Will offers me a cup of coffee, "sleep well?" He's got a small smirk on his face.

"Yeah, I haven't slept that well in a while," I stretch and put my creamer into my coffee... it's almond milk creamer so fuck sugar right now.

"Your cheeks are pink," he leans over to me, wiggling his eyebrows. "I noticed you and Arny were snuggling up in your sleep."

"That was all him. I didn't move anywhere near him," I hide behind the coffee as I take a long drink.

Arny comes out and gets a mug, pouring himself coffee.

"Want me to make some breakfast?" I offer the two.

"What you got?" Will takes a seat at the counter top stool near me.

I list off breakfast stuff and tell them all the different substitutes I use for dairy and all that shit.

"Pancakes then?" I nod at Arny's suggestion and waddle over to get the ingredients, tying a bandana around to keep hair back and out of my face.

"Just plain pancakes?" Will nods as I set down some fresh fruit, mostly strawberries.

"How do you make them dairy free?" Arny asks from the stool, sipping his coffee.

"Almond milk and just balancing the dries and wets out so they are the same consistency.

"How'd you figure that out?" Will eats a blueberry from my stack, getting a smack on his hand  from stealing them.

"A lot of practice and basic chemistry knowledge... also, just being stubborn and refusing to have dairy in my pancakes if I can have almond milk." The little tinking of bowls and tools brings me peace, kinda making me zone out. "Do you guys care if I play music when I cook?"
