Mini POV:

I woke up in the morning well-rested.
It was fairly warm in my bed...
Or in our bed, I corrected myself, and then opened my eyes to see a smiling, sleeping Tyler.
I laughed to myself and then went silent.
He was so beautiful when he was asleep.
Waking up in his arms was the most amazing feeling I'd ever experienced.
I hoped that I would now see the same man in my bed, (yes, I giggled again, shh), every morning from now on.
He's so perfect.
A warm feeling spreaded throughout my body and I sighed, taking in his beauty.
His eyelids soon opened, looking at me, sleepily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to awake y-" I began.
But before I could finish, his lips landed on mine, and I took in his scent.
He smelled like honey and chocolate.
I soon began kissing him back, and I felt him smile throughout our lips and I did the same.
"Well, good morning, by the way." I said, after he pulled away, blinking my eyes in astonishment at what he just did.
He smiled and leaned forward again.
"Good morning, babe." he whispered in my ear.
That word sent shivers down my spine, and I laughed as he kissed my neck quickly and pulled back to smirk at me, smuggly.
His smile was so....
Beautiful.
This was the same man I've known for years, the one who played video games with me.
The one I secretly fell in love with.
I smiled at that thought.
"Why are you smiling?" he asked, smiling, too.
"Because I woke up next to you." I said, blushing.
He smirked.
We were still laying with our heads on our pillows, me in his arms.
"And why are you smirking like that, Tyler?" I asked, laughing.
"Because your blush is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen." he said, grinning again.
I laughed.
"Have you looked in the mirror?" I whispered to myself.
"Awe, little Craiggy has a crush on me." he laughed and winked.
I blushed.
"Tyler!" I said.
He looked at me, still smiling.
"You slept with me last night! If I didn't, I would've pushed you off the bed!" I laughed.
He smirked.
"True."
"And, just admit it," I said.
He looked at me.
"Admit what?" he asked.
"You like me, too." I smiled and mocked him.
He kept a straight face.
"No."
I opened my eyes, shocked.
"What?"
He looked at me, not saying anything.
"Oh." I said, being hurt.
He then started laughing.
"I don't just like you, Mini, you adorable dipshit, I love you."
My frown immediately turned into a smile and I felt my cheeks grow hot.
"Damn, your blush is so adorable." he said, kissing my cheek, and wrapping his legs around mine.
Suddenly, our door opened.
"AYE, Y'ALL WAKE UP NOW, SWEETIES, I MADE Y'ALL BREAKFA-" Tanner walked into the room, carrying cinnamon rolls, and Tyler shifted to the other end of the bed.
I looked at him.
Tanner looked back at him and then me, and then a disguisted look grew on her face.
"OH HEAVENS! DEAR LORD NO, OUR LORD WOULD NOT LIKE THIS!" she screamed, dropping the tray.
My heart sunk and Tyler grew still, saddened by her reaction.
"Tanner..." he said.
She was crying, her head in her hands.
"Tanner!" Tyler said again.
My heart felt broken at Tanner's words.
She then looked up, a huge smile on her face, out of pure joy and happiness.
"I'm just kidding, y'all sweeties. Y'all make a cute couple. Now, you sugars get in there and eat your damn breakfast because I'm not letting you leave without being tooken care of by Miss Tanner herself." she laughed and picked up the pan.
I laughed out of relief and Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Dammit Tanner." he said, a smile growing on his lips.
"Got all you babies, didn't I?" she laughed.
"I thought you were going to kick us out." I laughed.
She smiled.
"No, Miss Tanner would never do that. You guys are like my kids."
"Tanner, you're only a couple years older than me." Tyler laughed.
"Hey, Tyler, Momma Tanner could always get Princess in there to put my wooden spoon up your ass." Tanner laughed as she gushed while saying her violent words.
This is why I love Tanner already!
"Princess?" I asked Tyler.
"Z." he rolled his eyes.
"Ohhhh." I said.
••••••••(Admit it, you could hear Mini saying that in his real life voice... XD)
"Now, what did I tell you two youngins?" she said, looking at us.
We stared at her blankly.
"Get your damn clothes on before I dress y'all myself, now. Y'all need your breakfast. Come on, Ty. I made you some cinnamon rolls, your favorite." she smiled.
She had her hair up in a bun and she was wearing an apron.
"Y'all are leaving today, right? Squeaky got y'all documents up in the main room. But avoid Master Vanoss, he's a little moodier today. And Del is right behind him. I don't know if David's working today has anything to do about it, but I feel like it does." she sighed, making up Tyler's previous bed.
She then looked at us.
"Okay. Now I'll leave y'all alone go get dressed. Hurry now."
She closed the door behind her.
I looked at Tyler.
"If only we could lie in bed all day." I said.
"Mmhmm." he said.
I sighed and then felt a squeeze on my ass and a man hovering over me.
"Tyler!" I said, blushing.
He smirked.
"We don't have time, Ty." I said.
He sighed, realizing I was right, and got off of me, standing up so he could change clothes.
"Here, have this." he said, throwing some of his clothes at me.
"So, you like, live here?" I asked.
He nodded.
"My best friend, Vanoss, is a retired assassin. We went to high school together. One day, I asked him to take me into training, and I kinda failed, but I'm still part of the family. I was there when he met Delirious, one of the guys we met at PAX. Delirious was a techy, and soon Evan fell in love with him, and now they run a secret buisness. That's when Lui and Nogla, two guys from a previous gang that had broken up and some got caught, came here. Z, Tanner and Evan were once a couple, but Evan discovered Delirious, so Tanner has just kinda stuck around, wishing best for them. She's always thought that she and Evan weren't really in s serious relationship anyway, even though she helped discover our gang. Brian, we met him when he was a criminal. He joined us and received extra training..."
We both got dressed as he explained everyone's story.
"Moo, well, he was hitman, ordered to rip apart our gang, but he kinda befriended us. Droidd, well, Droidd. He has brains. A droid is like a robot. He's just good with mechanics, he built our shelter, too. He's an engineer who secretly works for us." he smiled.
"What about Z?" I asked.
He frowned and put on a different shirt as I zipped up my pants.
"Z? Tanner found her. She's never really told us anything about her. Z's mysterious. She doesn't reveal herself. We don't even know her whole name. The only thing we really know about Z is that she's, one, a bitch, but loves everyone but me, and, two, she's probably hurt but she's tough enough to get over it." he shrugged.
We finished and walked into the kitchen.
We sat down and Lui walked into the room, handing us out documents.
"Here you go. Who's all going with you?" he asked.
Tyler looked around us.
"Just you and 'Princess.' "
I did air quotes and she growled at me.
"Nogla isn't?" he asked.
Daithi looked over
"We won't need him. We have Z." Tyler said.
"But.."
"I'm pretty sure Z will be enough on the fighting side." Tanner said, before Z bursted in.
We all nodded as we ate our breakfast.
"This is gonna be one hell of a ride." Tyler said next to me, and I smiled.
