Jesse's POV:

I woke up to the sun shining bright in my eyes through a gap in my light blue curtains. I felt warm- then realised that someone had their arm around me. Romeo. I knew it was him because his goatee was tickling me,  which made me struggle to think about why he was actually here. Ha, I guess he's kind of cute....wait.

I turned over to face the red-haired man and decided to snuggle up to him. Romeo was warm and cozy, I don't think he'd notice me cuddling him, at least I hope he doesn't. I thought I wouldn't regret this; but he woke up too!

Romeo's POV:

I felt small arms wrap around my torso and quickly fluttered my eyes open to see who it was. I saw Jesse snuggled up against me and immediately began thinking about what was going on. What happened? Why am I in her bed? Why are we cuddling? Despite all of those confused, and maybe disturbed thoughts, I found that me being this close to Jesse made me feel...strange...not in a bad way though.

"Hey, Jesse." I said quietly, looking down at her. The small, brown haired figure jumped and looked up to speak.
"Oh my god, Romeo! I...I'm so sorry.." She yelped, obviously embarrassed by the flush of red on her face. "It's alright Jesse." I calmly whispered at her.
"Wait, you're not..mad at me?"
"No, of course not!" I pulled her closer to me and snuggled back up to her. Jesse slowly calmed down, before getting up and telling me to come with her.

I watched as she took out some pans and cooking items, and then getting some food to cook. Jesse placed eggs and bread down. "What are you making?" I ask curiously, eyeing what she had on the marble counter "Do you like eggs and french toast?" Jesse asked me.
"I've..never tried it. Haven't tried a lot of things. while I was an admin, I didn't need to eat." I replied, a little embarrassed that I hadn't tried some simple food. "Hey, don't worry! I'll make it for you and it's pretty good." She reassured me.

Finally, Jesse had finished cooking the breakfast, which smelled amazing! I never really ate as an admin, since I didn't need to. My nerves got to me as I approached the food. I've done this before, but it makes me nervous every time I go near a full plate.
"Sit down, don't worry, I know it's scary." Jesse said-
patting me gently on my shoulder- easing my shaking body. I wearily sat on the chair in front of me opposite the dark brown-haired girl who dug in to her breakfast. Picking up my knife and fork I stared at the plate of well cooked eggs and crispy French toast.
