Description:Charli is not a morning person. She was never a morning person. She needs her cuddle buddy. Yet Alex insists on waking up bright and early every morning, thus ironically robbing Charli of cuddles. It's time Charli took manners into her own hands.

Unlike Alex, Charli was not a morning person. Even when she didn’t have a soft bed to sleep on and she wasn’t covered with the softest blanket, instead sleeping outdoors under the night sky, she loved to sleep in. Although when you don’t have a strict schedule it’s kinda hard to say what sleeping in entails.

On the other hand Alex could never sleep in. She had a schedule and she kept to it. No matter what. No matter how enticing cuddling with her girlfriend was. No matter how good Charli’s hugs and kisses were.

“Thought I’d find you here.” Alex looked up from her phone at Charli who was leaning against the doorway, legs crossed one over the other, her hands loosely crossed over her chest with a small, tired smirk on her face. Alex wanted to take her seriously but that was pretty much impossible give that she was dressed in a light yellow loose shirt and of course her squirrel hat.

“You are... up pretty early. Is there something you need?” Alex took a sip of her barely tea flavored water. This mornings flavor was lemon and ginger. Charli was getting her to try flavors other than butter. It took some convincing but Alex was relentless in her pursuit and eventually Alex decided it was easier just to indulge her.

Charli hummed. She pushed off the door and walked over to the table, leaning on the edge with her hands, “Just missing my snuggle partner.”

As Alex took another sip her eyes scanned over her phone one more time. There wasn't much going on .

“I have work Charli. Just because you’re here does not mean I can slack off. Crime never rests, it runs this country, troubling innocents and corrupting the... mmm!” Alex’s eyes widened as Charli’s lips pressed against her own.

The officer blinked as Charli pulled away, “Lemon and ginger today?” Alex felt her cheeks heat up at Alex’s words, also the fact that she very deliberately licked her lips. “Getting daring are we?”

“Ahem. As I was saying, I have work, I’m afraid I cannot just drop it and...” Charli walked around her and wrapped her arms loosely around Alex’s shoulders. She hummed, prompting Alex to continue even as her hands sneaked lower, eventually finding their way under Alex’s... well actually Charli’s shirt. Alex took in a deep breath, “Damn you. I should have known you would exploit my weakness.”

“Not my fault you’re ticklish. So what will it be officer? If you’d like a compromise, you can take whatever work you have to bed, I just want to hold you. That sound fair?” Alex closed her eyes for a moment and hummed. It might be nice to work and relax at the same time.

“That’s... acceptable.” Charli chuckled and kissed Alex’s cheek. She was spun around and scooped up into Charli’s arms, tea cup, phone and all, “Careful! I almost spilled.”

Charli tried to hold back her laughter but ended up laughing all the way to their bedroom, with a equally flustered and confused Alex in her arms.
