part 7 - the morning

The next morning, Garrett woke up with a feeling of satisfaction and contentment. He felt like he had accomplished something the night before, and he couldn't help but smile. He looked over at Dominic, who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and he felt a rush of affection and tenderness. He didn't want to wake him, and he wanted to let him rest.

Dominic woke up slowly, his body feeling relaxed and comfortable. He felt a sense of contentment, and he couldn't help but smile as he thought about the night before. He opened his eyes and saw Garrett sitting next to him, looking at him with a gentle smile.

In the soothing calm of the morning, Dominic prepared a light breakfast for Garrett. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and gently sizzling bacon filled the air. As Dominic set the table, a serene atmosphere filled the kitchen. With gentle anticipation, he made his way to the bedroom to wake Garrett. The sun's soft light filtered through the window, casting a warm glow throughout the room. As Dominic approached the bed, he paused for a moment, taking in the peaceful sight of Garrett still sleeping. With a tender touch, he caressed Garrett's cheek, whispering softly, "Garrett, it's time for breakfast."

At the sound of Dominic's voice, Garrett stirred from his slumber, his eyes fluttering open to reveal a mix of drowsiness and affection. He stretched lazily, a small smile playing on his lips. As Garrett sat up, the aroma of breakfast reached his nostrils, and his stomach rumbled in response. With a playful gleam in his eye, he turned to Dominic and teased, "You sure know how to wake a guy up, Dominic." Dominic chuckled softly, feeling a gentle warmth spread through his chest. "I just want to spoil you a bit," he admitted, his cheeks tinged with a faint blush.

As Garrett glanced at the table, a subtle frown formed on his brow. It was evident that Dominic wasn't partaking in the breakfast that had been laid out. With a mixture of concern and curiosity, he directed a probing gaze at Dominic. "Dominic," Garrett's voice held a hint of worry, "you haven't touched your breakfast. Is everything alright?" Dominic, acutely aware of Garrett's observant nature, shifted nervously under his gaze. "Oh, um, I'm not that hungry, honestly," he stammered, offering a weak smile.

In response, Garrett's expression softened, a mix of empathy and sorrow washing over him. He could sense the underlying reason for Dominic's disinterest in the meal. Knowing that Dominic had sacrificed his own appetite for him made Garrett feel a pang of guilt. With a tender heart, he spoke up, "Dominic, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were eating less on my account. I feel terrible." Dominic's lips curved into a slight smile, touched by Garrett's concern. "It's all right, Garrett," he reassured him, his voice laced with affection.

Dominic, feeling a hint of embarrassment, decided to come clean about the situation. He hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Actually, Garrett, we've run out of food. That's why I mentioned I've been eating less. But it's nothing to worry about, I'll manage until we stock up again." Garrett listened attentively, then a flicker of guilt passed over his face. "Dominic," he said, his tone apologetic, "I apologize. I wasn't aware we were running low on supplies. I'll make sure to have our servants take care of it right away."

Dominic quickly interjected, offering a reassuring smile, "It's okay, Garrett. I'll wait until we have more food tomorrow." Garrett, however, had other plans. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he scooped Dominic up effortlessly in his arms, carrying him bridal style. "Oh, no, Dominic," Garrett whispered playfully, "I can't let you wait that long. We're going out for breakfast, and I won't take no for an answer." Dominic yelped in surprise, a mix of amusement and affection coursing through him.

Dominic, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, tried to resist Garrett's playful insistence. He playfully protested, "Garrett, we can't just drop everything and go out for breakfast. Let's just wait until we have more food!" His words were met with a mischievous smile from Garrett, who tightened his grip on Dominic, lifting him even higher. "Why wait, Dominic?" Garrett teased, his voice filled with anticipation. "I want to spoil you a little today. Consider it my way of making up for the food shortage." His persuasive tone left little room for further debate.

Dominic, realizing that resistance was futile, yielded to Garrett's persuasive charm. They made their way to the restaurant, with Garrett carrying Dominic securely in his arms. The moment they stepped inside, heads turned, and whispers filled the air. The couple was the center of attention, their unconventional entrance causing quite a stir. Dominic couldn't help but feel a mix of embarrassment and affection, acutely aware of Garrett's possessiveness and obsession. Despite the attention, he felt a warmth spread through him, a deep sense of connection with Garrett that was becoming increasingly undeniable.
