8: You're all I need

You're all I need
According to your heart

Michael and Zoey sleep on and off, both finally able to find that place of peace they needed. It was Michael who wakes first, still slightly startled when he finds Zoey wrapped around him, fast asleep and clinging to his chest.

He settles back down, his head on his pillow as he watches her sleep. To be honest, she looks ridiculous. She's drooling, snoring just a little, her hair some sort of giant knot across Michael's chests and arms. But she's so fucking cute. He can't get enough. This is everything he wanted and nothing he expected.

Zoey can feel Michael's up before her eyes open. It's nice he lets her sleep - Caleb never does. She blinks awake, curling her toes to crack them as she feels Michael shift to look at her. "Time?" She asks, stretching out and holding tighter to Michael.

"Half ten," he responds, tracing a finger up and down Zoey's spine. "You can keep sleeping."

Zoey shakes her head. She's slept far too much already. She places a light kiss on Michael's collarbone, grinning when Michael gently squeezes her back. "I've thought about this, you know. Waking up with you."

"Have you?" Michael responds. "I wouldn't have guessed it."

"Yeah. I've thought about it."

"Hm," he hums, pushing Zoey's hair behind one ear and flipping them so that Zoey is on her back, pinned under him. "I've thought about this."
