waking up to a sleeping josh dun cuddled up to her is quite possibly the cutest thing mia has ever seen in her life.

josh looks like a puppy. like a tiny, adult male puppy.

mia opens her eyes and the first thing she sees is josh's face inches away from hers, his arm draped around her side and his legs intwined with hers. her first thought is 'how the hell does someone go from being painfully hot to looking like an innocent cinnamon roll?'

she snuggles closer to him and puts her head in the crook of his neck, and then she feels him exhale awake, his other arm wrapping around her shoulders.

"hi," she grins.

josh makes an annoyed face, his eyes still closed. "mh, no," he says defiantly. "not ready to function yet."

mia tsks a bit when he says this. "what happened to the 'tour schedule'?" she teases, making fun of his ability to be up before ten while touring but now can't even fathom getting up

"fuck the tour schedule," mutters sleepy josh while proceeding to roll over onto his other side. he pulls the thick white down comforter above his head.

she watches him do this with an amused smile. "you're cute when you're grumpy," she tells him.

he just makes a few mumbles under his breath, which don't even really form coherent words. "yeah, yeah," he says after his mess of sounds. "are you gonna spoon me or what?"

"you wanna be the little spoon?" mia clarifies with both humor and surprise. but i mean, it's josh, so she's really not all that surprised.

instead of giving her a verbal answer he just nods from underneath his blanket cocoon and does a few flutter kicks impatiently.

this is one of those moments that when you look back on them you think 'god i wish i would've had a camera out'. to mia, seeing her boyfriend wrapped up with a blanket over his head doing flutter kicks like he's six years old definitely makes her wish she would've had her phone out.

but she doesn't even remember where she put her phone the night before, so she just saves the mental image and then shuffles closer to him. with one hand she pulls the top of the duvet off of josh's head while the other wraps around his torso.

"hey," he frowns with annoyance, opening up his dark brown eyes to glance over his shoulder at mia.

she stares at him. "i'm spooning you. should you really be complaining about anything right now?"

"you say that like being the big spoon is a chore."

"you're a chore," she sasses back and then settles against his back, her forehead against his shoulder blade.

josh wiggles his arm out of the blanket and takes mia's hand to lace their fingers. "spooning doesn't have gender roles. this is the twenty-first century, babe."

"josh, go rant about equality on your tumblr or something," she says against his thin teeshirt while grinning.

josh has come to the knowledge that when mia is being a sarcastic little shit, he can't just not smile. like he's beginning to think that it's impossible.

he feels his lips crumble from their straight line and he grins. "i'm just sticking up for equal spooning rights, that's all."

"you're so weird," she exhales.

"says the only girl on the face of the planet that doesn't like being spooned."

mia tsks in protest, "it makes me feel trapped!"

"but spooning is the best, babe," says josh while wiggling around a bit to get more comfy. "i feel so cozy. you're like,
short, too, so it's like i have a girlfriend backpack."

"okay i am not that short," she states.

josh swallows a sudden laugh. "you kinda are. what are you, like four feet tall?"

mia uses her free hand to swat at his back. "i'm five one, you ass. five two on a good day."

"still short," he says in a song-song voice under his breath. "but it's hella cute, though. like when we were in the mirror last night brushing our teeth and i could see over your head-"

"you noticed that too?!" she gasps incredulously.

josh's chest vibrates as a soft laugh leaves his lips. "mhm. 'thought that was really cute. like total relationship goals."

"i was thinking the same exact thing!"

he sighs a bit and then rolls over so that he's facing her again. his eyes glance around her face and he notices that mia looks unfairly pretty in the morning, her face free of makeup. her honey brown eyes are sorta red from sleep and there's the faint sweep of lilac underneath them, and for some reason he finds it to be the most stunning thing ever, that she's just her with him.

"i guess we are kinda cute together, huh princess mia?" he drawls out.

mia glances up at him through thick lashes with a pout at the fact that he had to say 'i guess'. "i'd say we're kinda cute," she answers back, matter-of-a-factly.

"we should do something today," says
josh as he suddenly feels motivated to not spend the rest of the day laying in bed (although as long as mia's there he's really okay with doing anything).

she raises an intrigued eyebrow at him. "okay, like what? i'm pretty sure it's too cold to hit up the abandoned hospital parking lot."

"shut up, i know," he grins. after a few seconds, his mind fills with a bunch of ideas that make him sit up excitedly.
"okay, i'm gonna drive to my place to shower and change and when i come back we're gonna go out somewhere."

mia pushes herself up with her palms into a sitting position. "where?" she inquires.

at this question, josh just gives her a cheeky little smile. "it's a surprise."
