Thriving Heart (Zenix x Reader) |Book Two| [HOLD]

A Less-Than-Lovely Morning

Y/N's POV

When I wake up, Zenix isn't in the bed with me. He must've woken up first... I groan and get out of bed, sliding on my slippers and walking downstairs. As I expected, Zenix is on my couch, shirt off still, reading a book. He must have just rushed down here right away to read and didn't think about putting a shirt on. I tap him on the shoulder and he jumps, surprised.
"GAH!!" He looks at me, "Oh... morning, Y/N..." He kisses my cheek and then I peck his lips.
"So, what are you reading today?"
"Certainly not YouTube," he says sarcastically. I cross my arms and smirk,
"Well that's what I read and you are going to deal with it!" Zenix just laughs and seeing his smile makes me smile.
"To answer your question, Y/N, I'm reading a popular fantasy novel that was written over the course of ten years! It's quite fascinating that it took that long... the book is only five-hundred pages!"
"They seem pretty lazy," I remark, then I mess up his hair. "You dork!" He smiles and puts his book down, folding the page's corner down so that he has it marked. Zenix takes a drink of his cup of coffee and sets it back on the side table.
"So, how'd you sleep?" He asks me as I sit next to him on the couch.
"Pretty good!"
"Did you forget that Garroth, Laurence, Dante, and Travis are staying here?" Zenix smirks and I facepalm.
"OH MY IRENE I TOTALLY DID!!!"
"Me too... well, at first..." Zenix points to the guest bedroom door, "When I came down here, the door was open and all you could here was Garroth's snoring... is so loud..." I wrinkle my nose,
"I couldn't hear it..."
"That's because your wonderful husband closed the door for you!" He smiles too wide, making his eyes close and his dimples show. I love his little dimples... I pat his head and get off the couch. "W-where are you going?"
"To see what beasts are in there!" I joke and walk over to the door. Zenix gets up immediately and grabs onto my arm.
"N-no... it's just bad..."
"Then I want to see!" I put my hand on the handle.
"Please, Y/N?!"
"Please, Zenix?" I turn the handle and Zenix doesn't try and stop me now. He just has a terrified expression. I push the door open and my hands fly up to cover my mouth. Oh. My. Irene.

Zenix's POV

It's a disaster in there. With there only being one bed, Laurence and Garroth ended up getting the bed after a lot of fighting in that room. Dante and Travis both are sleeping on the floor, but I still can't figure out what happened... Travis is sleeping sitting-up against the wall next to the bed, his mouth open and drool coming out onto him. Dante is halfway under the bed, you can't even see his head. And Laurence and Garroth... well... Garroth sleeps on his back and Laurence sleeps on his side, apparently he normally cuddles things. Laurence's arms are tight around Garroth, on the front of him and the back, while Garroth snore as loud as heck, his hand hanging off the bed and in Travis's drooling range.
"This... th-this..." Y/N's mouth is still covered. I put my arm around her and then, I think of an idea.
"Be right back," I tell her and walk into the kitchen.

Y/N's POV

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?! Maybe I should improve the sleeping situation... I mainly am staring at Travis and Garroth, waiting for the drool from Travis's mouth to land on Garroth's hand... ooohhhh...

Done.

Zenix finally comes back, holding two frying pans from my kitchen and hands me one of them.
"What is this for?" I ask.
"On the count of three, when I say---"
"YouTube!!!" I interrupt him and he sighs, cracking a small smile.
"Okay, fine. On the count of three, when I say YouTube, you hit the frying pan against mine, okay?"
"Got it."
Okay," Zenix readies his frying pan and so do I. "One, two, three... YOUTUBE!!!" Our frying pans crash, not breaking or denting, but making a loud noise that makes me cringe. All of the guy's eyes flash open, some of them even cry out. But I can tell that this isn't going to be a lovely morning when all of their eyes look at Zenix and I.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! A new chapter should be out very soon!

P.S. No worries, Garroth didn't end up breaking down your door!
