007 - Morning

I wake up, cuddling someone. I don't usually do that...all the girls leave me before I can have cuddles.

Ah...Y/n!

I look down at her, her face snuggled into my chest. Her body warm, and our legs tangled. Blush rises to my face and I let out a breath, chuckling with it. I have my arms around her. I don't want this to end.

I shut my eyes, yawning, before brushing some hair out of her face. She mumbles before adjusting her head into my chest more. I love this closeness. I kiss the top of her head gently, smiling down at the gorgeous face before me.

I still miss Nancy, don't get me wrong. I loved her, but I have loved Y/n my whole life and that's a whole new level, not a single girl could ever grasp.

I groan slightly, knowing that I have to get up for school. We both do. I gently loosen her arms around me, placing them on the bed as I slowly scoot my way out. I decide to go to my room and get dressed. Before having a hot shower which refreshes me.

When I come out of the bathroom, clothed up and hair with my special spray. I notice Y/n stumble out the room, yawning tiredly and rubbing her eye. I chuckle. God, she's so cute. She's so cute it hurts...

"Morning, sleeping beauty." I chirp.

She grumbles and I laugh. "Go take a shower, we're not up too late. I'll make you some pancakes."

She smiles excitedly and rushes off to the shower. I grin, making my way down the stairs. I get out the pans and cook some pancakes. It doesn't take long to pile the pancakes so I get out the maple syrup with some blueberries and raspberries.

I put them on two plates just as Y/n runs downstairs. She wraps her arms around me in a hug and I smile. My heart flutters happily, but confusion enthralls my mind.

"Y/n? What's up?"

"Nothing." She says softly. "I just love cuddles."

I chuckle, petting her head slightly. She whines and I laugh. I give her the plate of pancakes and the two of us start eating.

She noms on the breakfast silently. Quickly finishing first before rinsing her plate.

"So, are you ready to go to school?" I ask her. She turns to me, smiles sweetly with those soft lips and sparkling e/c eyes, and nods.

"I'm ready when you are!!"

I grin, nodding my head and nibbling on the last waffle, the flavor strong and colorful.

"Then let's go!"

"DoNt TaLk WiTh YoUr MoUtH fUlL!"

Steve ends up driving the two of us to school. We get out the car and the dust of the ground lifts up slightly after stamping our feet down.

"Well, shit." Steve mumbles.

"What?"

My head turns over to Nancy. She gives us a glare before turning her head away. Sitting beside Jonothan in her car.
