Sometimes life gets weird. You lose hope, then you'll fall down, but then you'll get back up again. Sage did. So hang in there; it gets better, with time.
A short story.

A faint smile grew on Sage's face when Solana wrapped her arms around his neck in her sleep, right after he had shivered from being cold. He pulled her leg up higher on his waist, and lowered his head to rest in the crook of her neck.
Leaving gentle kisses against her skin, he could feel her breathing pattern change; a sign that she was now asleep again. She looked so pretty while she slept. Her expression was much more relaxed than the usual frown she had.
Her hair was pinned up in her silk bonnet, but some straight pieces had found their way out of it-probably because of how much she tossed and turned throughout the night, though she always returned back to her previous position of either being in Mariah's arms, or Sage's.
The two of them couldn't keep their hands off of her even while they all slept. Solana thought it was cute; having a boyfriend and a girlfriend who didn't let you get too far before they needed to touch you. They were so adorably obsessive.
Sage stared at her while she seemed to be sleeping so peacefully, then leaned forward to kiss her lips a few seconds later. He rubbed the small of her back to wake her up again, not even caring that she hadn't brushed her teeth yet. He wanted her to kiss him.
He felt her hand hold the bottom of his face at the same time that a quiet groan escaped his lips from the way she she sucked on his bottom one. She knew that he was being this clingy because of what she'd done to him yesterday, and she thought it was humorous.
She remembered when Mariah did the same thing after their first time. Any form of sexual intimacy, whether it was deep kissing, head, or actual sex, usually made you change how you acted towards your partner(s) right after. She was glad that both Mariah and Sage basically gave her a good review by being all over her the day after their first times with her.
"Go back to sleep Mazari. You can kiss me later, I promise." She spoke with a small chuckle, finally pulling her mouth away from his.
"I don't wanna wait. Can you stay up please?" He mumbled, kissing her again even though her mouth remained closed.
"Knock yourself out." She tilted her head back a bit, and his kisses lowered to be on her neck. Solana began to fall asleep yet again, and he stopped kissing her but kept his face in her neck. He guessed he would have to wait until she was ready to be up.
He laid there for another half hour in silence, letting his random thoughts roam. Then when movement came from the other side of the bed, he picked his head up to look over at Mariah.
"Can you wake up with me?" He turned her head to look over at him, and she frowned her face up. She had barely heard him. It was too early in the morning to be talking.
"Sage it's like-still dark out. Go to sleep." She mumbled, not even bothering to read the time on the digital wall clock. It definitely wasn't dark outside, and the dark she was referring to was actually their black-out curtains. It was almost noon.
