Hope's P. O. V:

I blink my eyes when the first lot of toaster waffles pops out of the toaster. I pluck it out and drop it on the plate due to the fact it's hot and put the next two in. So far I've made two waffles for me and Alec, and now I'm just making the third lot for Rogue.

I'm not the best at cooking but I'm fairly decent.

As I was waiting for the waffles, a pair of arms snake around my waist (I'm still in my pyjamas), and I stiffen slightly out of surprise before relaxing at the feel of a pair of lips at my neck.

My pyjamas consist of a red kimono shirt and pair of red Cheongsam pants with yellow trimming and yellow criss cross ribbons on the side of the sleeves and pants. I wear a pair of light pink and dark pink striped socks and Japanese geta sandals on her feet. My hair is tied up in pigtails using pink rubber bands.

I immediately sink into Rogue's chest as he attacks my neck with kisses, emitting a small moan from me

I immediately sink into Rogue's chest as he attacks my neck with kisses, emitting a small moan from me. "Mm, Roguey, good morning. What are you doing?"

He pauses long enough to reply, "Kissing my girlfriend, of course. You weren't there when I woke up so went looking for you. I was hoping to wake up with you in my arms, so why didn't you wait for me?"

I spin in his arms and smile at my boyfriend. I reply, "I thought I'd get breakfast started. And I didn't want to wake you. How are you feeling?"

I study him as the black haired man responds, "Much better. And breakfast smells good. What is it?"

"Toaster waffles. I'm not that good of a cook, so I can only do easy things," I reply with a sheepish smile.

"I'm sure it'll still taste good," He murmurs. We gaze at one another for awhile before he leans down and kisses me tenderly. I immediately return it as I brace my hands on his chest.

Our lips dance together and I feel like fire is coursing through my veins. We keep kissing even as Rogue lifts me up onto the kitchen bench, his arms going back around me. My own arms slide around his neck and my fingers thread through his hair, which he'd already brushed out...

I stiffen when I feel someone is watching us and pull back slightly, causing Rogue to blink his eyes a few times, hands resting on my waist.

"What is it, Hope-chan?" He murmurs.

I reply in a whisper, meeting his eyes, "I think we're being watched." Slowly, Rogue and I turn our heads and, sure enough, my brother is leaning against the kitchen doorway, his arms crossed, with Frosch at his feet, an innocent expression on the green Exceed's features.

My face turns crimson as Alec smirks cheekily at us, Rogue also becoming flustered. "N-Nii-san!" I snap in annoyance after I'd overcome my shock.

Rogue demands to know, brows furrowed, "How long have you been there?!"
