— Daou —

I woke up slowly, sunlight filtering through the curtains and down my face. Offroad was still asleep, nestled against me in his usual position, his back pressed to my chest, head tucked beneath my chin. I inhaled deeply, savoring the peaceful moment.

I breathed in, taking a moment to think about the last 24 hours - the rumors, the comments, Road running away and, the best part of it all, hearing say that he loved me.

"Good morning Ou," Offroad mumbled sleepily against my chest.

"Morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?" I asked, tightening my arms around him.

"Mhhhm" he hummed, snuggling closer.

"How about we just stay home and rest today? No gym, no going out, just you, me and Laika" I suggested, feeling the need to unplug from the world and savor my time with him.

"That sounds perfect," He agreed. "I'll get up and make breakfast in a minute."

"I can do it," I offered, even though we both knew I was a danger in the kitchen.

He turned around; tilted his head up, a teasing smile on his face. "No thank you. You just stay far, far away from the kitchen." He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss before pausing, looking at me more seriously. "I love you".

I smiled, little butterflies in my stomach, "I love you too sweetheart" I murmured against his lips.

"Say it again," he whispered, mischief in his eyes.

"I love you," I repeated softly.

"Again," he insisted, grinning now.

"I love you," I said again, this time punctuating each word with little kisses all over his face. He started giggling, squirming in my arms.

"Okay, okay, I surrender, let me go" he said with a laugh, pushing my chest.

Reluctantly, I released him, watching as he nudged me aside and got out of bed. I decided to stay behind for a bit and lazily scroll through my phone. But when I reached for it, I realized it had turned off at some point in the night.

"Roaaad, can I scroll on your phone ? Mine's dead." I called after him.

"Yeah go ahead!" He shouted back from the kitchen.

I grabbed his phone and opened Tiktok. As I was scrolling through his for you page, I accidentally saved a video and went to unsave it. This spiked my curiosity and I went to his Favorites folder. I started scrolling through his collections and, lo and behold, he had one named "Daou dancing". Curious, I opened it.

Inside was a treasure of videos. Tiktoks of me dancing on stage, clips from dance challenges, old videos I had almost forgotten about. I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face.

Giddy with this knowledge, I got up and made my way to the kitchen, where Offroad was busy at the stove, flipping something in the pan. I leaned against the counter, watching him for a second before breaking the silence.

"So, you like watching me dance huh ?" I teased.

He glanced over his shoulder, "What are you talking ab..." He paused, "You little shit, you went through my folders!!!" He pointed the spatula at me, trying to sound indignant but failing to hide the blush creeping up his neck.

"Well it was very informative," I got closer to him, putting my hands on his waist and pulling him to me, removing the spatula from his hand. "I found some very old content, I didn't know you were that big of a fan" My teasing tone only deepened the flush on his cheeks.
