The Great Escape

When Declan woke up, she was warm. Like every inch of her skin was in direct sunlight. She swallowed and breathed out, shifting her head slightly, eyes still closed.

Finn was watching her, playing with her hair, watching her roll around and shift in her sleep in the golden, early-morning sunlight.

He had woken up about twenty minutes ago, Declan pressed against his body, hands delicately draped across his stomach and underneath his neck, looking more peaceful than she ever had before. And so damn pretty.

Since then, she had rolled away from him when he had accidentally knocked a tin can off the bedside table, causing her to face away from him, so he had been playing with her hair and staring at her shoulder.

Now, as she stirred awake, she turned back over towards him. She buried her face in her pillow and Finn chuckled. He reached out and pulled her back into him, his warm skin. He connected their foreheads and nudged her gently with his nose. She chuckled but still refused to open her eyes. Finn placed a sweet kiss on her forehead.

Finally, after a moment, she pulled away and opened her eyes gently.

"Good morning" Finn chuckled quietly.

"Morning" She squinted at him.

"You look cute" He smiled. 

"Bad habit" She replied casually, teasing him.

"Haha very funny" He rolled his eyes as he pulled her closer.

"You're so warm?" Declan noted.

Finn wasn't really listening; he was too enraptured by the feeling of her strong, soft body in his arms and how he really never, ever thought he'd end up here a few weeks ago, but was so glad he was.

"I love this" He randomly mumbled.

"What?"

"Waking up with you"

Declan chuckled.

"I'm usually not a morning person so I'm sure that won't last" She replied, promptly shoving him away. He rolled backwards and yelped as he fell off the bed.

"Declan!"

"Clumsy" She shrugged as she sat up and tied her hair back.

"You pushed me!" Finn sat up in protest from the floor.

"Hold your abs next time" She replied effortlessly, no sympathy whatsoever.

He got up and chased after her but she quickly locked herself in the bathroom.

"Finnnnnnn!" She complained, "It's my fucking trailer!"

"No!" He laughed.

"Oh my god" Declan rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"

There was a pause as Finn contemplated. His phone buzzed and he saw he had a message from Jaeden and smirked.

"For you to promise to go to the IT3 premier with me" He smirked on the other side of the door.

"No" She replied monotonously.

"Then enjoy your bathroom, you'll be in here forever!" Finn did a horrible "evil laugh".

"I hated that" Declan huffed.

"Promiseeeeee!" He teased.

It was going to be a long morning.

Finn and Declan we're outside Declan's trailer five minutes later than they were suppose to be; however, everyone else was late too so it didn't matter. When Sadie came out of Caleb's trailer, her hair looking ruffled, her eyes sleepy, and her cheeks pink, Declan and Finn exchanged a look but said nothing.
