34 - ofc DAD has to interrupt

Elena listened carefully behind the door, having placed her ear on the surface and stopping her breathing. Although she had knocked on the previous doors, she really wanted to surprise Gaz. However, she also hoped, as she tried to convince herself, that he would be wearing underwear. It seemed that the men of the 141 liked the sleep at least shirtless, so she wouldn't be surprised to find someone in a different state.

With the turn of the knob, Elena slowly pushed the door. She had memorized that hers was the only one that squeaked. Most probably, because it hadn't been used so much like the others. Either way, Elena knew Gaz's door wasn't going to squeak.

However, hoping that the wrapped present wouldn't make any noise, Elena slowly slid between the doors closed it just as quietly, and looked up where Gaz was.

Elena faintly blinked several times, not being able to move any of her muscles from the sheer happiness she felt blossoming inside of her.

The man whom Elena had fallen for was sleeping soundly in front of her. It seemed that even in the cold weather, all of the men around Elena preferred to sleep shirtless. In the case of Gaz, he even had half of his back exposed and uncovered, as he slept on his chest, his left arm hanging from the bed.

Elena took the first step and observed Gaz's sleeping face. Slightly squished against the pillow, Elena could spot his long eyelashes, which, of course, she had noticed before, and shut her eyes. Elena wondered what he was dreaming about. The two had never talked about dreams. Both the sleeping and future kind.

Elena's smile dropped as she realized what she was thinking about at the moment. Realization hit her, as she stood in place.

She was thinking and dreaming about Gaz.

A moment like this. I am sneaking up to him in the morning... But he's not in a bed like this, no. It's much bigger and more comfortable, one where two people could sleep together. I'm... bringing him a tray of food, but I don't know what's on the plates yet. Not important... And then I'm slowly waking him up... And then I kiss him on the forehead.

Before Elena could know it, with a small smile on her face, her fingertips were inches away from Gaz's skin. And then, just like what she had seen in her mind, her fingers grazed against his shoulders. However, she couldn't let herself be this personal. Her fingers lightly tapped against his skin and Elena smiled even more, seeing Gaz's eyes slowly flutter open.

''Mm?'' a low voice in front of Elena mumbled.

Gaz's eyes instantly locked with Elena's and she smiled. She was crouched in front of the bed, so their faces were less than a foot away.

''Morning, Kyle,'' she softly said and, for a second, Gaz hid his face behind his hand. Then, Elena heard a chuckle and watched Gaz wipe his face and look at her again.

''Mornin',''

Elena's stomach fluttered, as she heard Gaz's response. His voice was low and slightly gruff. He had greeted her with his morning voice. Elena blinked a few times and then revealed the gift from behind her back.

''Merry Christmas,'' she whispered, handing the packet to him.

Gaz's mouth opened in awe and shock, as his right hand reached out, accepting the gift from Elena. Elena pursed her lips together and deeply breathed in, watching as the blanket slightly fell from Gaz's chest even more so as he sat up in his bed. Elena could see the outline of Gaz's, as appeared, underwear. Her eyes shot back up to where his excited face was.

Even if just woken up, Gaz looked adorable to Elena, as her eyes followed and observed his every movement.

''You got me a Christmas present?'' Gaz asked softly, as his fingers slowly unwrapped the present.
