Loving Our Journey - (MewGulf, Canon Compliant)

The Morning After

Gulf's PoV

The next morning, soreness woke me up early.  I knew it would be uncomfortable and a bit painful, but still, I was unprepared.  I was ready to start complaining when I opened my eyes and saw him.  He was sleeping so peacefully, that I couldn't just disturb that beautiful man of mine.  He told me he wants me.  He wants to be my boyfriend.  He wants us to talk to P'May together. He said he will convince her.  We'll be good.  

He started snoring quite loudly and I couldn't help smiling  like an idiot.  Last night, he kissed me thousands of times.  All over my body.  I blushed a little thinking of those places that I had never imagined could be kissed.  He asked me a hundred times if I was sure that I wanted to continue. He took such good care of me,  specially after.  He was so nervous I would regret it today.  How could I regret the most magical night of my life? Looking at his beautiful face resting on his powerful arms, I'm not so sore anymore.  And even if I had to limp all week, I wouldn't regret it. I love being spoiled. 

I can't wait to tell my family and friends that I'm with Mew.  I don't think that I've ever felt this happy, I feel complete. 

I decided to make breakfast for him. I know he was just teasing me, but yesterday I truly felt that I never do anything for him. It's always the other way round.  Well, 'make' is probably too much because I can't cook to save my life, so I got dressed and went out to buy Boba tea and pastries. When I came back, I met Mew's family who were returning from their trip at the door, so I greeted them very politely. His mom just smiled fondly at me and his sister hugged me.  His father said "Good morning, son."  Even Chopper looked happy to see me. Sort of. He didn't bite me. 

When I crossed the threshold, Mew was running downstairs towards us, still in his pajama bottoms, with no shirt and the hair sticking out in every direction. He looked really frightened. 

'Where did you go?' Asked Mew with alarm, 'You didn't answer your phone.'

'Well, good morning to you too, my dear son,' his mother said faking annoyance.

His family looked amused but I felt sorry.  I should have left a note.  I showed him the teas and the paper bags and said 'I'm sorry, Phi. My phone is dead.'

He just released the breath he was holding and bowed to his parents.  He took my hand and pulled me upstairs in spite of my protests.  I didn't want to look rude in front of his family, but apparently he didn't care at all what they thought.  

'Nong, don't ever leave me like that again, please,' he pleaded once inside his spacious room. 

'I didn't leave you for more than twenty minutes, Phi.' I said and he looked me in the eye visibly distressed. 'I won't do it again,' I added and he finally smiled.

'I wanted to prepare breakfast for you. Why did you get up so early?'

'No reason', I lied.  If he was making a fuss just because of breakfast I didn't want to imagine what it would be if he found out I was still a little sore. 

'Next time, just wake me up. And please, charge your phone if you don't want me to die young.'

'P'Mew, you're cute.'

'You're not,' he teased me.  Peeking inside the pastries bag.

'Won't you kiss me good morning?' I said pouting on purpose.

'Not yet, I didn't even have time to brush my teeth!' he said running towards the bathroom. 

'Hurry up, Phi! These pastries are at risk here alone.  Someone could eat them all!'

He laughed joyfully and mumbled with the toothbrush in his mouth 'Don't you dare, baby!'
