A finger poked her cheek, waking the girl from her slumber. She ignored it, keeping her eyes shut and vainly hoping the annoyance would disappear. However, the sensation attacked her again, this time at her side. Instinctively, she flinched away and let out a groan. 

"Cute..." a voice mumbled.

(Y/n) recognized the voice as Brayden's and her resolve strengthened. 

The boy frowned. Though it was quite refreshing to see (Y/n) fake sleeping, he needed her to be awake for the day ahead. An idea struck him and he smiled deviously. 

"Still asleep", he mocked aloud. "Hmmm... I wonder if she's ticklish."

The 'sleeping' girl visibly tensed. Brayden, grinning in anticipation, descended on her, only to be met with a smack to the head. 

His prey leaped out of bed with a small shriek, wrapping herself in a blanket that acted as a shield. 

"Ah, now you're awake", Brayden observed, rubbing his head. "And violently so..." 

"What are you doing in my room", she questioned in a demanding tone. 

"Don't tell me you already forgot our pleasant conversation from yesterday?"

The memory of it came back to her and she let out something between a huff and a groan. Falling back on her bed, she leaned over and threw a pillow at the boy.

"Not feeling it today. Come back later." 

"No can do, angel." He caught the pillow and launched it back towards her. It hit her face with a thump. "Now, c'mon, get up. I'm excited to start our time together."

"At least let me shower and change first", (Y/n) whined. 

"Okay. Fifteen minutes. Ready, set, go!" 

"Seriously!?" 

"Yep. Better get to it." He sat down on the bed, arms folded.

Figuring she could do nothing against him, she started running around frantically. Eventually, (Y/n) ended up in the bathroom, slamming the door behind her and turning on her shower. 

Just before her time was up, she stumbled out of the bathroom, her wet locks dangling about her face. She was dressed in a comfortable hoodie and shorts. 

"These shorts are kinda... well... short, don't ya think?" She glared at him as she tried to shift them down, knowing full well the boys had chosen her wardrobe themselves. 

Perverts...

"Mhm", was all he said as he looked her up and down. "Let's go get breakfast, pretty girl."

"'Pretty girl'?"

"What? You don't like it?"

"No, I don't."

"Well, it suits you." He gave a half smile, tugging on a strand of her hair. Then, he began walking out of her room and down a hallway. She followed behind him.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Brayden turned back towards her. "So, what do you want to eat?"

"Ummm..." She crossed her arms, debating what her appetite desired. "Waffles."

"Coming right up." He grabbed an apron and strung it around his waist. The bluenette gathered the necessary materials, then began the process of cooking waffles. 

"Didn't know you could cook", (Y/n) mentioned as she slid into a chair. She leaned her elbows on the table in front of her, watching the boy prepare her meal.
