"JESUS. CHRIST." and Eddie finally meets my sonic bomb "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"

"It's just my alarm clock" I stretch out to turn it off and turn around, finding him sittin' in the bed, his hair covering half of his face.

"So much for an alarm clock... sounds like a fucking air raid siren" he goes on, looking at nothing in front of him with his only half closed eye I can see.

"I'm a heavy sleeper" I explain as I put my arms under the pillow and bury my face in it.

"I see" I feel him slowly shifting under the blankets until he comes close and reaches out for me with a hug.

"You never sleep, you can't understand" I turn on my side and my face is just inches from his.

"Now I slept very good though" he kisses me lightly on my lips, dry an rough like sandpaper against his soft ones.

"Double bed is comfy, huh?" I mean, I surely didn't complain when we snuggled up in his single bed to sleep.

"Sure, 'cause it's all about the bed, obviously" his embrace tightens and I know getting up this morning will be double difficult.

"I'm sorry I woke you up from one of your best sleeping times. Today I work an awful shift" I try and let go of him but Eddie intertwines his legs with mine to keep me from moving.

"I need to have a serious chat with Jack..." he starts showering my face with kisses, from my cheek, then towards my ear, then again on my cheek pretty close to the corner of my mouth.

"Hehe I wish I was working at the mini mart, I'd go to work in my pjs. And I wouldn't get up at a quarter to six"

"A QUART- ehm, sorry... is it a fucking quarter to six in the morning?" Eddie yells into my ear for a second, then settles for a volume more suitable for dawn.

"Yeah. I work the breakfast-shift at Roxy's" I sigh and it looks like my morning misfortune is getting me extra cuddle.

"Since when?"

"Since I have to return the favour to people who covered my shifts for me when I was away"

"Uh. It's my fault then" Eddie props his head up on an elbow on the pillow and gazes down at me.

"Ehehe no, well, it's not"

"I'm sorry" he gives me a pouty face that would knock me out if I weren't already lying down.

"No problem, it was worth it" I try and untangle my legs from him but the dumbass won't let me.

"Oh really?" I can see the glimpse in his eyes even in the half darkness of my room.

"Yes"

"Well, in that case..." he dives down and kisses me, running his fingers through my hair, then backs up on his back on the bed trying to pull me over him.

"Eddie... I gotta get up" I try and resist between kisses but I'm not exactly convinced in the first place.

"Five minutes" he replies pushing himself and me on my side of the bed once again.

I grab his t-shirt, shut my eyes and in a few seconds he seals my eyelids with kisses, then my lips again, while his hair tickle my face and arrange itself independently as to shielding us both like a tent.

"Eddie?" I don't really know how much time has passed but I try and catch his attention the moment he slows down with kisses.

"Five minutes" he repeats, rubs on my leg then holds on to it and kisses me with more passion.
