Miracle- Noah Sebastian (SEQUEL TO THE GREY)

thirteen

*Noah's POV*

I woke up the next morning as the sun hit my eyes, noticing Sutton's body was pressed up to me as she was definitely asleep still. I smiled to myself and didn't dare move, not wanting to wake her up. I held her hand and closed my eyes, leaning into her touch. When you're in love, there are certain things that you cherish more than anything, and this is always one of the things that I love the most: the innocent bliss of waking up in someone's arms. I felt her stretch her legs and her grip on my hand tighten, signaling that she was awake. I dared to flip over to face her and pulled her closer to me, planting kisses on her face. We didn't say anything, we just stayed there like that until she finally tapped out to go to the bathroom. 

She came over to my side and held my hand. "Let me guess, you have today fully planned?" she asked with a small smile on her lips.

I put a hand dramatically on my heart. "It's like you know me," I said dramatically, making her laugh a little and go to her suitcase to plan out the day. "You can dress casually for the beginning of the day," I offered, knowing that that was her next question, which she shot me a grateful look for. She got to work on her makeup and hair as I checked on my socials and my discord server. I still do streams, but only got to a little bit this week since I'm traveling. "I have a question," I broke through the silence.

"What's up?" she urged, bending to look at me from the bathroom.

"I just wanted to gauge your opinion on this since it affects you, but I think I'm ready to start posting about us and stuff," I offered. 

"So you want to hard launch us?" she said in a joking tone, making me chuckle.

"Yeah, I want to hard launch us. But this means that you are going to have a lot less privacy going forward and that you may receive a lot of hate." She quietly came back to my side of the bed and kissed me in response. "So is that a yes?" I couldn't fight the smile on my face.

"I'm down for anything. I mean... I intend to marry you one day so everyone has to know at some point," she pointed out, making me blush and my eyes involuntarily fill with tears. She's never said anything like that out loud. I pulled her down to me to kiss her with more passion, wanting to convey how much that meant to me.

"I love you. I will never stop loving you," I breathed out, making her smile back at me. 

"I love you too," she responded calmly. Her calmness has such a nice level of confidence to it that I love. She went back to getting ready and I decided that I would take some pictures of our adventures later and post them. I just threw on some black jeans and one of my band's hoodies, knowing it'll be kind of cold. She also threw on black jeans, a plain black hoodie, and threw a flannel over it for some detail. She always looks incredible; she could wear sweatpants everywhere and I would worship the ground she walks on. 

We took an Uber to the Gulch and went to Milk & Honey for brunch. The main objective was mimosas, so we grabbed a pitcher to share and got a good bit of food. The Gulch was a cool area that was close enough to downtown and had a few shops to go to. We managed to get sat kind of near the back in a corner, so we were relatively left alone, which was nice. I got a picture of her posing with her mimosa and threw it on my Snapchat story to begin the process of showing her off, saving the photo for myself. We got plenty buzzed, since we were 3 mimosas deep each, and started walking around the Gulch. 

Most of the places were boutiques and shit that neither of us cared for, but we stumbled upon an Urban Outfitters and decided to walk around. When you first walk in, they have their vinyls right there, which is usually the main objective when I go by since they do special pressings. It was secretly a goal of mine, to have a cool limited edition pressing for somewhere like this, since I've collected so many of them myself.
