Can't Sleep... Love? (Mavi)

Morning Seven

I wake up and feel warm. Comfortable. Fuzzy. As my eyes get used to the sun shining into the window I realise why: I'm totally wrapped up into Avi. We're both lying on our sides, facing each other and I'm curled up against his chest. I look up to see him looking at me, already awake.

"Mornin'" I mumble.

"Good Morning" he answers with a smirk.

"Hmm?" I really don't know what he wants to tell me with this.

"It's a good morning" Avi comes again. "Because I woke up holding you!"

I roll my eyes playfully. "God, you're sooo cheesy sometimes. What will you be like once we're like really in love? All lovey dovey?" Of course I'm only joking, I love cheesy sometimes and this certainly qualifies.

"Buzzkill!" Avi pulls his arms away and turns around. Everyone else would think he's upset, but I notice his signature superfrown and the fact that he just can't stay entirely serious. Nevertheless I choose to play along.

"Avi?" I say innocently and pat his shoulder.

No reaction.

"Hey, Big Daddy?"

Nothing.

I whine, playfully of course and suddenly have a better idea. I climb over him, carefully and lie down on his other side, now facing him again. "Hi."

He has his eyes closed and I can see that he's fighting to stay calm like that. Good thing for me is that I've got my wicked way to break him down. I lean closer and swiftly brush his cheek with my lips, his soft beard tickling. My lips find their aim directly and I start to kiss him softly, waiting for him to melt down. That he does and this time it's me who ends up on his back.

Since today marks our day off we stay in bed for a while, making out and talking about random things, basically continuing our question game. It is so casual and utterly comfortable.

That is, until his phone rings. It's a message from Esther.

Esther: Hey baby bro. Where were u at breakfast? I was alone, normally you never sleep in! Anyway, how about sightseeing later today?

I read the message, too and nod. "I wanna go sightseeing with the Kaplans and whoever's joining!"

Avi looks at me. "Even if it means getting out of bed? Because I'm way too comfortable to do so!"

I whine. "I don't want to. But we're in Rome! I've never been here before and I wanna see things! I need to educate myself."

He chuckles. "Okay, I tell Esther that we're coming." He starts typing but falters. "Wait, shall we even tell people, yet?"

I shake my head. "Not before we really feel like getting official. Just tell her that you're coming and asking everyone else."

He does so and waits for her reply. "We've got one hour left. Scolex need to get ready and we all know what that means..."

I chuckle. "You and your shipnames. But yeah, I know what you mean, it's their first night together after a long time. They're probably at it like rabbits!"

"Eww, I wasn't thinking that! How do you know about that anyway?"

"I live with them! My room is next to Scott's!"

"Poor you!"

"Yes poor me!" I pout and look up at him, blinking rapidly.

Avi smiles widely. "So cute. Must. Kiss. Those. Lips."

We kiss once again, only short this time, because I move out of his arms. "Toilet break, sorry..."

I get up and look at the clock. "Might as well get dressed" I mumble while stretching my body.
I bend over my suitcase to find the right outfit for the day. I can feel Avi's gaze on my behind and put on a show, swaying my hips on my way into the bathroom.

Since half of my moirsturising routine had been skipped the night before I take longer. But once I'm fully satisfied with my appearance I head over to Avi, who is already dressed and just fising his man bun.

I wrap my arms around him from behind. I only have to get on my toes a tiny bit to reach his ear. "Ready to go, handsome?"

He turns around in my embrace and nods. "But before we go, I was wondering..."

"Yeah?" I ask as he falters.

"Would you let me take you out tonight? Only the two of us in a nice restaurant and a wark along the Tiber, maybe?"

I grin widely. Normally this wouldn't be my type of a first date but with him it sounds more than just tempting. "Yes. And if you're a gentleman I might let you steal a kiss at the end of the night."

"You're unbelievable" he breathes and kisses me right there.

And I'm not going to complain!

A/N: there you are. I couldn't sleep and needed to get my mind off of something and fluff helped. I'm more than tired right now (it's 2.30) and I think I can sleep good, now.
