Ever After 2 (X Reader)

The Morning After

There were some moments when Alex found she liked the quiet of the morning, just before (Y/n) awoke and Alex could take the time to go through her thoughts and while doing that take in the gentle plains of her wife's face. Watch the rise and fall of her chest as (Y/n) dreamed.

Most mornings Alex found herself awake before (Y/n), that clearly wasn't a new thing, just a regular event she had forgotten.

There was something so peaceful and loving about these moments, the gentle lullabies of the birds in the trees outside their window, the soft light trying to penetrate through the drapes that Alex knew (Y/n) would hate to open at such an early hour. The feel of her wife stirring in Alex's arms as she slept, sleeping off the excitement of her birthday the night before.

Alex May have lost her jealousy at some point during the night, it may have been because (Y/n) had sat on her lap most of the night with her tongue stuck down her throat. Not that Alex was complaining about that. Seeing (Y/n) with Diana however had made her fears more real, and for a short time that night she'd been so vulnerable and so afraid that (Y/n) would compare her to Diana and find Alex lacking.

For some miracle of a reason (Y/n) had not done that, and when Alex watched the two women she realized that what he saw wasn't a yearning lust but a friendship, and that felt okay, it felt like it was natural because it wasn't a friendship like she and (Y/n) had, or even (Y/n) and Lena had.

Alex frowned, Lena and (Y/n) were very close, maybe too close sometimes it seemed as though (Y/n) needed Lena's opinion on whether she should breathe.

"Go back to sleep Alex, it's still early." (Y/n) groaned sleepily.

Alex chuckled, (Y/n) hadn't even opened her eyes yet and somehow she knew Alex was awake, it was another thing to add to the reassuring list for Alex that her wife knew her so well. "How did you know?"

"You're Alex, every morning you wake up hours too early and smell my hair." (Y/n) replied, her eyes still closed shut.

"Smell you.... how did you know I did that?" Alex had been so careful not to let her weird habit become common knowledge, she hadn't wanted (Y/n) to think she was creepy.

"It's your thing, at first I thought it was weird but now I know why you do it, It's just you and something you feel the need to do." (Y/n) sighed shifting under the covers so that she was closer to Alex. "You didn't know why you were doing it?" (Y/n) asked amused.

"Err...no." Alex blushed. "Just did it and hoped you wouldn't see me."

"You do know that between us nothing is weird, right?" (Y/n) asked her wife, the bits of sleep beginning to sweep away from her eyes as she felt the heaviness dissipate. "There is nothing weird between us, everything is just natural and accepted."

Alex nodded absent mindlessly, some things felt strange like she was on guard trying to impress the attractive woman and not say something that would upset or disappoint her.

(Y/n) lifted herself up onto her elbow an arranged herself so she was leaning on her hand. "Tell me."

"You always know, how do you always know I'm thinking about something?" Alex asked her wife, she'd began to consider that (Y/n) was made of magic.

"My gift." (Y/n) smiled teasing her wife. "I always know when you are thinking something I can see it like your mind is ticking over like a clock and you are quiet, that's a big give away too."
