Imperfectly Perfect [Chaelisa]

seventy one

Chaeyoung wakes up to Lisa's arms wrapped around her waist and her head on the pillow. She's a little surprised that her movement didn't wake Lisa, but she shrugs and plays with the fur on Nala's tail, kissing the top of her stuffed lion's head, before she stretches and lays back down next to Lisa.

She stares at her sleeping girlfriend with a smile. She likes seeing Lisa when she's asleep, because she always looks really relaxed and warm. Chaeyoung likes seeing her girlfriend unworried, because she wants Lisa to be perpetually calm and happy, and when she's sleeping, she kind of is.

Lisa shifts in her sleep, and Chaeyoung smiles when her girlfriend cuddles up to her. She puts an arm around Lisa and studies her girlfriend's face, wondering what she's dreaming about. She thinks that dreams are really interesting, because they're kind of like your subconscious projecting itself into the forefront of your mind, and she likes knowing what other people dream about. Because she gets to see a bit of their subconscious.

Chaeyoung plays with Lisa's messy hair and kisses the top of her girlfriend's head, snuggling back down. It's not that early - it's half past nine, and she can hear someone downstairs, so she knows it'd be okay if she wanted to get up for some Cheerios, but she's quite comfortable and she wants to cuddle with her girlfriend for a little while longer.

That'll be a nice start to the day.

Lisa groans in her sleep, and Chaeyoung starts rubbing her tummy, because that always makes her calm, so maybe it'll work for Lisa, too. The younger girl's eyes flutter open, and Chaeyoung blinks down at her for a second, before Lisa sends her a teasing grin. "Are you giving me tummy rubs?"

"Mhm," Chaeyoung hums in reply, "they're nice, aren't they?"

"Yeah," Lisa cuddles up to her, "they are. I see why you like them so much. Anyway, what do you want to do today?"

Chaeyoung hums to herself. "I don't particularly want to do much. I'd rather just have a nice day in with my favourite girl."

Lisa blushes. "You're too sweet."

"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Nala," Chaeyoung cuddles her stuffed lion to her chest, before she laughs at her own joke and explains. "I was making a joke. I was talking about you, after all. But I thought it'd be funny to say Nala instead."

Lisa snorts with laughter. "Nice one, Rosie."

"You think it's funny?" Chaeyoung asks, and when Lisa nods, she beams. "Good. I'm glad, because not a lot of people think I'm funny when I try to be. They don't really get my jokes, I don't think."

"Nope, it was a great joke," Lisa assures her, squeezing her hand. "What time is it?"

"Nine thirty," Chaeyoung answers. "Would you like to sleep some more? Or... or get up and have Cheerios with no milk?"

"It's up to you, Rosie," Lisa smiles, "I don't mind."

"Okay," Chaeyoung nods and looks down at her feet. "Um... I want to let you sleep more."

Lisa cuddles up to her, but doesn't close her eyes. "If you want to get up, we can. It's okay."

"It's early," Chaeyoung answers, "I'd like to cuddle with you. And it's okay if you sleep when that's happening."

"You know what? I changed my mind," Lisa decides, "I make the rules now."

"Oh," Chaeyoung frowns to herself. "You make the rules? Okay."

"Yeah," Lisa beams at her, and pulls Chaeyoung closer. Since Chaeyoung sleeps naked, she doesn't have to roll her shirt up, and starts gently rubbing her tummy. "Since I make the rules, you get tummy rubs and cuddles. Okay?"
