y/n's eyes opened slowly to the feeling of mark's lips trailing over the love spots left on his neck just hours ago. the pair didn't actually sleep until around 4 am, and now it was late morning with the sunlight seeping in through mark's curtains.

"good morning," y/n said quietly. he felt mark smile against his skin, which sent chills up the former's arms. mark's body was wrapped around him comfortably, spooning him.

"morning, baby," he responded. "still tired?"

y/n turned around in mark's arms to face him. his heart swelled at the look of his messy hair and sleepy eyes.

"after last night? yes," he answered. mark chuckled lightly as he felt y/n's hand reach up to graze his cheek and soon his chin, brushing against the bit of stubble that had yet to be shaved.

"i love waking up with you," mark whispered, planting a small kiss on his hand when it neared his lips. y/n wasn't sure if he meant to say that out loud, but regardless, he liked it.

"me too."

a light pink blush ran over mark's cheeks as he looked at y/n. he never got tired of moments like this.

"do you wanna stay in bed all day for your day off?" y/n asked. mark smiled and quickly shook his head.

"no, let's do something today."

"okay, like what?"

mark thought for a moment. he was unable to come up with an idea, his addicted eyes still resting on the other.

"mm.. i don't really care. as long as you stay with me," he responded happily. a smile blossomed on y/n's lips at this answer. he looked down at the male's touch running up and down his arm softly.

"hm.. there's a new aquarium that opened recently. i've been wanting to go, but if you don't want to then that's f-"

"that sounds perfect!"

y/n smiled again at how happy he seemed.

"let's go shower, then?"

mark quickly shook his head and tightened his hold a bit.

"let's stay here a little longer. need my morning cuddles," he said, placing one more kiss on y/n's cheek. y/n nodded at this and closed his eyes, enjoying the comforting embrace of his lover.

"ooh, look at the yellow one!" y/n said eagerly while pointing to a fish in an open ocean exhibit. mark smiled as he looked between y/n and the fish he was admiring.

"i like that black and silver one," mark countered, pointing to another.

"ooh, that one's pretty too!"
