5 Seconds of Seasonal Imagines

Winter with Michael

Imagine...

The entire city was completely snowed in. The snow fall started at probably noon or even earlier. all things work and school and travel related were cancelled. This gave you and michael the pleasure of being literally trapped inside of your apartment. You weren't complaining though. god knows how long it's been since the two of you spent quality time together. Between the band and your own job, the apartment laid half vacant most of the time. The snow had given you the perfect excuse for not leaving or seeing anyone. The apartment was pretty small but doable for a couple and it gave off this really warm and comfortable vibe. Plus it was the home you shared with michael and he was really all you needed.

Because of the heavy snow fall, you both naturally slept in. The falling snow imitating the sound of rain drops, and the only sound you could hear was the soft pattering of the snow flakes hitting the window. Due to your body's internal clock, you start to wake up sooner than you would really like. You're eyes peeled open and they land on the bleak grey city skyline in front of you. Blurred by the drippings of melted snow flakes on the window. The weather outside just made you want to stay huddled up under the blankets. And today you actually could. As you're senses started waking up, you could hear soft breathing coming from behind you.

Michael was still sound asleep, but he had fallen asleep with his arm wrapped securely around your waist. His naturally pinked lips were slightly open and every once in a while he would let out a a subtle snore. His bleached blonde hair laid in crazy layers at the top of his head. Him sleeping next to you had become such a rare thing lately. You had almost forgotten what it was like to wake up next to him. The blanket was up way past his chest and nestled right underneath his chin. He looked peaceful and relaxed and somewhat like a little kitten. He was so peaceful it had somehow made him look younger. He looked more than relaxed and for the first time he actually was.

After a few minutes or so of just gazing at him sleep, his eyelids started to flicker a little bit. At this point a little bit of light was starting to seep through the window curtains. Because of how white it was outside, it made the light even more harsh. He scrunched up his eyebrows a bit as his eyes slowly fluttered open. You had tried to close your eyes and pretend that you were sleeping but it was too late. He had already caught you.

"You know..I heard it's rude to stare." Michael teased with his morning raspy voice. He had this annoyingly sexy smirk on his lips as he spoke.

You didn't say anything, all you did was smile shyly and uncover your mouth from the comforter. You moved over a bit and nuzzled your head into the crook of his neck and laid there quietly. He still smelled like the shampoo and body wash he had used the night before. The smell you would only ever associate with him being home. You feel his arm move up along your waist and his guitar strumming fingers softly trace shapes on your back. You both stayed there for a while just enjoying the quiet with each other. Both endangered of falling back asleep.

"Good morning.." you finally whispered to him

You hesitate but peel yourself off of Michael and you pull back the covers on your side. The apartment itself was warm because of the overworked heater, but the hardwood floors were cold and pricked your feet as you got out of bed. All you had on was some underwear and one of Michael's t-shirts. It was what you wore on most days plus pants. The hardwood floor creaked as you walked through the bedroom and then into the main apartment. You could hear Michael murmuring something about coming back to bed, but you simply ignored him. It was only a matter of time before he followed after you.

You make you're way to the mini kitchen and you hear jingling behind you. The dog you and Michael owned had woken up due to the sound of you walking. Whenever you got up, Sydney was up which in some dog logic required a reward in the form of treats. So like every morning you break off half a treat and toss it to him. As he eats that you start filling his bowls with water and actual dog food.
