Bill's POV

The morning sun filtered through the open window, casting a warm glow over the hotel room. I had been awake for thirty minutes already, but I chose to lay there quietly, watching y/n sleep peacefully. The sunlight danced across their skin, illuminating her features and giving her an ethereal glow. I couldn't help but be captivated by the sight of the creature I held so tightly in my arms.

As I lay there beside y/n, basking in the morning light, I couldn't shake the feeling that last night had been nothing short of a dream. The happiness that flooded my being when I woke up beside her, knowing that it wasn't just a figment of my imagination, was overwhelming. In her presence, I had found a joy and contentment that I never knew existed. The memory of the pain I felt when y/n was taken, and the fear that I had lost her forever, was still fresh in my mind. But now, as I looked at her peaceful form, alive and safe in my arms, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love. I knew that my heart, my body, and my soul belonged to her completely, and I was more than willing to give myself to her without reservation.

How did I get so lucky?

As y/n stirred awake, her e/c eyes meeting mine with a radiance that outshone the morning sun, I couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth flood through me. Her smile, like the soft glow of dawn, made my heart flutter. As she yawned and rubbed her eyes, I couldn't resist reaching out to gently brush a strand of loose hair from her face.. In that moment, with her by my side, I felt as though I was in heaven.

"How long have you been awake?" She asked groggily.

"Not long." I replied softly. I was still holding her tightly, not wanting to let her go.

"What time is it?"

I looked over at the clock on the night stand. "9:30"

"Shit. I guess that means we have to start making our way back to Cherryton, huh?" Y/n was seemingly just as bummed as I was.

I released her as she shuffled out of bed. She picked up my uniform shirt from the floor and held it up against her still unclothed body, covering herself.

"I'm going to take a bath. Care to join?" She asked with a smile. I immediately sprang up from the bed. Y/n laughed as I hastily followed her into the bathroom.

"Hot or cold?" I asked as I put my hand on the knob.

"Hot. Definitely."

I switched the knob to the left. Y/n opened the vanity drawers and rummaged through them before pulling out a singular bottle labeled "3-in-one: Shampoo, Conditioner, and body wash!"

Once the large tub was filled, y/n stepped into the water, she sighed happily as her body instantly relaxed, the water soothing her muscles. I got in next, my large body causing the water to spill over onto the floor below.

"Shit. Sorry."

Y/n looked me up and down and frowned.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"There's so many bruises and bite marks. You have a nasty black eye too." She said, pointing her finger at my purple eye.

"It's nothin' don't worry." I smiled, hoping to ease her worries.

She sighed and grabbed the soap from the counter next to her. Y/n lathered her hands in the soap. I watched as she wet her hair and massaged the soap into it. She wiped away the blood from her arms. She looked at me curiously after having caught my gaze.

"What?"

"Nothing. You're just so perfect." I smiled, causing her to blush.

"You're such a flirt!" She said, flinging soapy water at me. I laughed at her childish antics before beginning to clean my fur of any blood and dirt. The soap smelled of roses and lavender. "Great, now I'm going to smell like a girl."
