Tengen knew he really shouldn't be staring at you so intently whilst you slept.

His time with you was slowly reaching its end and he really should take his leave (or else he'll have to pay extra for his overtime), however, he had no intention of leaving you as you are.

Gently, he continues to run his fingers through your long (h/c) hair; well-trimmed red and green painted nails lazily caressed your scalp whilst he listens to the rise and fall of your chest as you breathed.

Tengen allowed himself to admire the way the dim glow of room's light softened your features, chasing the shadows away from your beautiful face.

Eventually, he felt you shift against him, your head resting on his left pectoral as warmth radiated off of you, heating his perpetually cool body.

To hell with his wealth! You're way more important than any coin in his pocket and he'll stay until you wake.

He didn't care if he has to pay extra for his overnight stay. It's totally worth it as long as he gets to hold you like this.

You shifted slightly as your (e/c) eyes slowly fluttered open.

Once your vision focused, the first thing you see, are those beautiful fuscia eyes that shined with love and mirth staring at you. And best of all, you found yourself cocooned in the familiar warm embrace of Tengen's strong arms. Your head pillowed on his thick and broad chest.

You awoke feeling blissfully refreshed as memories of what had occurred between you two flooded your mind. A night of passion and pleasure.

And it was amazing!

It's bewildering how a night of passion did for your mood.

"Well hello there, sleeping beauty♡." Tengen greets you with a warm smile, before he gently takes a finger and playfully boops your nose.

You chortled at the uncharacteristic display of affection and nuzzled into his embrace, content with laying on him, rather than the futon. His body heat is like a warm campfire; making you want to draw even closer to him.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks.

As a response, you nodded and nuzzle against his neck, taking his strong scent of vanilla and lilac. Tengen hums gently, before pushing you away from his neck, just enough to look at your face and cups your cheek, before pressing his lips against yours.

He's too beautiful, you think. No way something or someone like him could have been created on land. His fuscia eyes, white hair, and features that look like they belong on chiseled marble.

After breaking the kiss, Tengen allowed his eyes to trail over the love bites blooming on your neck and chest, before quickly settling back on your pretty face.

You wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of your life with him.

Oh, that would be perfect! But unfortunately, life wasn't perfect as you mentally remind yourself where it is you are.

You didn't know how long you've slept, but you knew for sure that his five hours with you had long since passed.

"Hmm, what time is it?" You finally asked, rubbing your eye.
