you shifted your body to face riki while your eyes wandered sleepily. you snaked your arms around his waist, gently caressing his skin with your fingers. you could hear the soft sound of his faint snores as you pulled him closer. you nuzzled your cold face against the warmth radiating from his bare shoulder. sleepily, you placed sweet kisses along his heated skin, relishing the contrast against your chilled cheeks.
you could feel yourself falling back asleep, the dusty, blue sky from outside coating the room in a light azure shade. as your brain began to fuzz, you felt movements within your arms.
the tender, warm touch of riki's hand met your face, lightly stroking your cheek with his thumb. your eyes opened sluggishly, looking at his blurred features as words carelessly slipped through his lips in a low whisper.
"you're so pretty," his raspy voice was filled with affection as he drew closer to you. he planted a delicate kiss on your sweet lips as a smile casted his own. you felt the echo of your heartbeat through your body, the featherlight brush of his lips against yours sent your heart aflame, aching for more. goosebumps arose throughout your skin as his hand cradled your face reverently, caressing your graceful features.
you wished this moment would last longer, the taste of his lips lingering on yours as he pulled from you. savouring the feeling of his touch, you slowly nuzzled against his chest, perfectly shaping into his embrace. his strong arms enveloped you, gingerly pulling you closer.
closing your eyes, you nestled into the crook of his neck, inhaling the musky scent of his cologne. his fingers traced your skin absent-mindedly, returning the gesture you'd given him before.
tiredness began to creep over both of you, making you suppress a yawn. your eyes fluttered, attempting to swat away the sleepiness, but to no avail. as your eyes closed, you heard riki softly humming, his voice honey-sweet, finally making you fall asleep.
