Mornings [YOHIOXReader] (One Shot)

Mornings

    You let out a sigh as you rolled over on the bed, looking at the clock on the nightstand. The time showed that it was now midnight, and your boyfriend was still not in the bed with you. Sitting up in the bed, you could hear the sound of a guitar coming from another room. You smoothed your hair as you got out of bed and moved through the hallway.

    Turning the corner, you could see YOHIO sitting on the couch with his guitar. Lined notebooks and sheet music pages scattered the coffee table and floor around him. A soft smile crossed your face as you leaned against the wall. You rarely ever got to see him work, so this was a nice little treat.

    He was still under the impression that you were still asleep, and not watching him as you were. As he turned to his left to grab another blank music page, he noticed you. You actually startled him, causing him to jump a little and almost drop his guitar. After regaining his grip on the instrument, he set it down before looking at the clock.

    "It's getting a little late, don't you think?" You asked, stepping into the room. You ran your fingers through your hair again, trying to hold back a yawn. As you came closer to him, he broke eye contact and began to pick up the loose papers on the floor.

    "I guess I lost track of time..." He said, his voice trailing off at the end. You normally got upset with him when he'd stay up too late, or missed dates the two of you had set up. While it was very frustrating, you also understood the reason why. Artists tend to immerse themselves in their work, and with him also being his own CEO it was understandable.

    "It's fine," You said as he finished gathering his papers, "this isn't the first time you've done this." After stuffing the pages into a folder, he stood up and gave you a nervous smile. Once everything was put away for the following day, the two of you went to bed.

    You later woke at 5:00AM, noticing that YOHIO was actually still in the bed next to you at the time. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw him roll over which left his back facing you. Slightly turning your head to look at him, you could see the light of his phone flick on. Quiet taps could be heard as you saw the tone of the light change. A quiet word left his mouth as he set his phone back down on the bedside table.

    "Are you leaving?" You asked in a quiet voice. Everytime that he awoke, he tried to get up and get ready as quietly as possible. Being awake before him gave you the chance to possibly keep him from getting up so early.

He rolled over to face you, surprised to see that you were already awake. "______..." He whispered, "What are you doing awake?" He asked, as you normally weren't awake before him. "You were up late last night, you should be asleep." He said, realizing the issue with that statement only after it left his mouth.

An irritated noise escaped your lips before you replied, "You were up late too." You turned onto your side to face him completely before continuing, "And you got even less sleep than I did." You could tell that he regretted what he had said, even before you replied.

"Well, yeah..." He started, "But, I normally don't get as much sleep as you do. I'm used to it." This was true, and there were even days were he didn't get any sleep.

"Well, you're not going anywhere." You said as you brought yourself closer to him, snuggling into his body heat. He let out a defeated chuckle as he wrapped his arm around you. It was obvious that you weren't going to take 'no' for an answer, so he had no choice but to give into you.

After a few minutes of silence passed, he spoke up, "But, ______... I actually need to go to the bathroom." You groaned, as you had just gotten comfortable. You moved back, allowing him to get up and go to the bathroom. As he was gone, you rolled onto you back and closed your eyes.

You heard him exit the bathroom, followed by a period of silence. Quiet footsteps made their way to the bed, before they began to move away. You knew that he was trying to leave. "Don't even think about it." You said, opening your eyes to look at him as he stood close to the door, phone in hand.

"______," He sighed, "I'm really not tired. And I kinda need to get back to work." An argument with yourself broke out in your mind, whether to let him go or try to get him to stay a bit longer. He sensed the conflict you were having with yourself and stepped closer to the bed. "What if I leave, just for a few minutes, to get coffee and bring something back for you?"

Now he was trying to bribe you.

You let out a sigh, "Alright, alright." Looking back towards him, you could see him start to pull clothes out from a dresser in the room. "Just, don't be gone too long," You asked, "It's been a while since we've had time like this together."

He smiled back at you before he went back into the bathroom to change. After changing he came back into the room, gave you a kiss and then left. A small frown formed on your face as you watched him leave the room...

"______?" A familiar voice called your name, pulling you out of your sleep. "______?" You heard the voice grow louder as the person calling for you moved closer to the bedroom. You sat up and looked at the clock on the end table. Hang on- it was 8:00AM? Did he just now get back?

"I'm in here!" You called out as YOHIO walked into the bedroom, breakfast for you in hand. Smoothing down your hair and rubbing your eyes you became more awake.

"I had a feeling you'd fall back asleep." YOHIO said with a small laugh. "Sorry that I left for longer than I said I would," He continued, "But, I had to get at least one of those meetings out of the way." Coming close to you, he set the drink and food on the end table.

"I'm guessing you already ate?" You asked, picking up your drink and bringing it to your mouth. He responded with a nervous smile and nod. This actually wasn't the first time this had happened. Sometimes 'quick naps' would turn in to hour long naps and he would use those times to take care of business.

YOHIO sat down next to you as you reached for the small bag of food. "What else do you have planned for today?" You asked, resisting the urge to yawn.

"I don't have much of anything until after lunch, so this morning is all yours." He smiled.

"It better be..." You mumbled, earning a laugh out of him.

You two didn't always get to spend much time together, so having mornings or evenings together was always nice.
