His warm, gentle breath met the nape of your neck as his arm rested softly against your waist. 

Time has never gone faster, never felt as real as it has, and Diluc's never felt happier—something he's thought he'd never get to experience again. 

You needed to get up quickly because today was a very special day. You had the entire day all scheduled and planned a week prior, and you were so. fricking. excited. Because...

It's Diluc's birthday!!

Carefully, you lifted his arm up, removing it gently off your waist as you quietly got up to get dressed. It was about five in the morning, which is why Diluc was still choosing to stay in bed. It wasn't easy convincing him to not work, and he was confused as to why you wanted him not to...

Considering he had forgotten about his own birthday...

"Ow—!"

You quickly put a hand over your mouth, ignoring the pain from you just slamming your hand against the drawer, for adding too much force getting your hand through the sleeve of your top. Diluc shifted slightly, making you freeze on the spot. But After a few seconds, you sighed in relief and turned around to open the door.

Very very subtly, you turned the handle, creaking the door slowly and enough to make you fit right through.

"Y/n...?"

"Nothing!"

...

'Dang it...'

"D-Diluc!" You said, immediately hiding behind the door. You were dressed so nicely for today, and not wanting to spoil the surprise and trigger any more suspicion you were to right now, you didn't need Diluc to look at your attire.

He sat up, grabbing a hair tie from his wrist and tying his bright red locks."You have plans for today..?" He said in question, his voice a bit hoarse and deeper since he just woke up.

"Oh... yyyes. I do, actually." you said nervously, although it was extremely obvious you were hiding something, and it's quite evident now that lying was never your specialty. Especially when it came to Diluc.

"This early in the morning...?" He hesitantly asked, throwing the covers off of his body and picking up his shirt. Diluc has not seen you hiding behind the door.

"Yes..." you glanced to your side before returning your gaze on him, observing his sudden state. "W-Wait — why are you getting up? Go back to sleep!" You said, watching him face his back towards you as he buttons up his shirt.

"I want to come with you." He said casually as he buttons the last one on his shirt. "You were quite persistent in me pushing work for today. I think it'd be a little unfair for you to leave unnanounced; I like waking up with you."

You smiled to yourself, he was such a sweetheart, and it made you happy how comfortable he's gotten within the last year of dating. But that smile was overridden with panic once you saw him reach for his coat.
