In the early haze of the morning, Oner stirred to the sensation of Gumayusi's arms enveloping him, the warmth of his breath tickling the back of Oner's neck. With a start, Oner realized Gumayusi's hand had slipped under his pajama top, fingers splayed out against his stomach. The intimate position, combined with Gumayusi's endearing actions from the night before, sent a whirlwind of emotions through Oner. He felt cherished, yet the lingering doubts and fears continued to play in his mind.

Oner's heart began to race as Gumayusi, still in the throes of sleep, began to gently pepper kisses along his neck and shoulder. Each soft press of lips sent a shiver down Oner's spine, awakening a warmth within him. "So perfect... so warm," Gumayusi mumbled sleepily against Oner's skin. "Don't ever leave... please."

His words, though whispered in a semi-conscious state, bore a weight that pressed heavily on Oner's heart. "Why do you do this to me?" Oner whispered back, a tear escaping from the corner of his eye. Every word that Gumayusi murmured, every kiss he planted, seemed to chip away at the walls Oner had erected around his heart.

"Need you... so much," Gumayusi continued to mutter, tightening his grip around Oner. "Never felt like this... scared but... happy."

Oner's breathing hitched. The raw, vulnerable confessions, even if murmured in sleep, made Oner's heart lurch in his chest. His resolve to remain professional and distant began to waver. But before he could react further, Gumayusi slowly roused from his sleep. Their eyes met, a deep connection evident in that brief moment. The space between them, though merely inches, felt like an eternity.

"Morning," Gumayusi murmured, his eyes reflecting a hint of the hope he felt. Without another word, he leaned in, capturing Oner's lips in a soft, lingering kiss. The intimacy of the moment left Oner momentarily breathless.

Oner's cheeks flushed a deep crimson as he disentangled himself from Gumayusi's embrace, murmuring a quick "I need to shower," before rushing off. Gumayusi lay there, a small smile playing on his lips, hoping that the walls between them would soon crumble entirely, allowing them both to dive deep into the love that seemed destined to blossom.
