Tentacles

19

It snowed the next day.

Wet molecules of crystallized water sat on our windowsill, forming peaks that climbed up the side of the window.

I smiled at the soft rays of sun that streamed through the frosty glass and glanced at Hailey. 

Her soft blue hair was strewn across the pillow. 

I breathed her hair in. 

It was sweet, almost like cotton candy, but not overpowering.

Hailey turned. "Are you smelling my hair?"

I rolled my eyes. "Maybe. What shampoo do you use? Is it that pink one?"

"Yeah. Cause unlike SOMEONE, I don't use baby shampoo."

I frowned. "Hey, it smells good!"

She smiled. "Yeah, but it doesn't exactly make me want to smell your hair in the morning."

I shoved her weakly. "My hair smells DELICIOUS. How about I make us some pancakes?"

Hailey buried her head in her pillow. "Yes please," she grumbled.

I sat up and pulled on a hoodie and some sweatpants. "Blueberry or chocolate chip?" I yelled, halfway across the house. 

All I heard was grumbles. 

I put in chocolate anyway.

By the time I was done, I heard faint screaming from our bedroom, so I brought in both plates of pancakes. "You're watching Attack on Titan without me?"

She paused and grimaced. "Sorry. Gimme pancakes."

I handed her the plate. "I am honestly hurt. I can't believe you would do this to me!"

Hailey smiled. "Hey, you're the one who saw It without me."

I shrugged. "It wasn't even that scary."

She stuck a fork in her pancakes, sighing. "Are we getting married today or what?"

I smiled and kissed her forehead. "Sure, Hals. Just let me eat first."

"I said I wanted blueberry pancakes."
