I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the curtains, painting stripes of gold across the bed. My body was heavy with sleep, reluctant to leave the warmth of the blankets. I could hear the distant hum of morning activity in the house from the staff—a clink of dishes, the faint murmur of conversation.
The feeling of warm breath on my neck and an arm draped over my waist hit me. I blinked a few times, still groggy, and turned my head just enough to see him. He looked so peaceful, his face completely relaxed, dark hair a mess on the pillow.
I lay there for a moment, soaking it in. His steady breathing, the warmth of his body against mine—it was perfect. I could hear faint noises from outside, the world slowly waking up, but it all felt so distant. Here, it was just the two of us.
I shifted a little, trying not to wake him, but he tightened his grip on me, pulling me closer. A smile crept across my face. I reached up and gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead. He stirred, eyes fluttering open to reveal those deep, familiar eyes that always made my heart skip a beat.
"Morning," I whispered, my voice still heavy with sleep.
"Morning," he mumbled back, a sleepy smile forming on his lips. He leaned in and kissed my forehead, sending a wave of warmth through me.
We just lay there for a while, tangled up in each other. I didn't want to move, didn't want to break the spell of this perfect moment. The world outside could wait. Right now, all that mattered was us, lying here together, wrapped up in each other's warmth.
Eventually, I knew we'd have to get up, face the day, but I was hesitant to wake him up. He just looked so peaceful. I nuzzled closer to him, feeling his heartbeat against my back.
"You do know we have to get up right?" I whispered to his ear softly
"Mmhhh," he grumbled still sleepy.
Oh my fucking god his morning voice.
"Let's get up then," I continued, a chuckle escaping with those words.
"Ten more minutes."
"Wren we have school."
He slightly opened his eyes, smiled at me, and closed them again. "Why don't we just skip today?"
I smiled at this. "We can't do that."
"Fine. You go bathe first and I'll go second. Okay?"
I knew he wouldn't listen to to me so I just gave him those few more minutes of sleep. "Okay. But you'll have to wake up when I'm done. I'm serious."
