I woke up warmer than I usually did before realizing that I wasn't the only one there. I heard deep, slow breathing right in front of me and figured out that I was buried in somebody's chest. Then, memories from the night before flooded my head.

My head was buried in the doctor's chest, the realization made my face go warm. I don't remember falling asleep this close to him so we must've gotten closer at some point during the night. I tried to go back to bed and just enjoy his warmth, but all my attempts fell flat. I eventually decided to gently and slowly wake him up by rubbing slow circles on his back with my hand.

This took awhile, but he did eventually stir. Aiken groaned as he woke up and I pulled my arms away from him. He rolled over and looked at the clock, seemingly not noticing how I was right beside him. He looked over and froze when we locked eyes. "Oh, I almost forgot that you slept here last night. How rude of me. Goodmorning, dear."

I smiled up at him and got out of bed. "Goodmorning to you too, doctor." I straightened up the side of the bed that I slept on and left his room, feeling his gaze burning into me the entire time. Walking into my room I felt a bit of a negative feeling, I kind of wanted to stay there with him. However I have to get ready for the day, so I really have to no time to stay there and gawk over him.

It was hard not to swoon over the memory of him as I was washing up. Aiken's morning voice was deeper than what he usually sounds like, I wouldn't mind waking up to that everyday. After sponge bathing, I began to search through my bag for something cute to wear. I decided to wear a white, off the shoulder sundress. I paired that with a brown waist cincher corset to bring it in at the waist.

I decided to go with some plain old white frilly socks again, they just go with everything. I then went to go fix my hair and gasped at how messy it was. Combing it out wasn't too much of a hassle, but I was still embarrassed that Aiken had seen me like that. It looked absolutely ridiculous.

Once I felt satisfied I brushed my teeth and put on some perfume, inhaling the floral scent as I applied it. I'm all ready, I thought to myself. I left my room and went to where Aiken usually is. And sure enough, there he was. Strangely enough, he didn't have his mask on, I suppose he doesn't feel the need to wear it in front of me anymore.

The doctor wasn't sitting at his desk though, he was standing right in front of it for some reason. He noticed me almost immediately, "Are you feeling better, dear?" He was talking about the nightmare I had, most likely. "Yes, I am. Thank you for comforting me, doctor. It was a silly thing to bother you about, really." I walked towards him and stopped just two feet in front of him.

The man towered over me, honestly. I can't accurately guess his height but I was barely at his neck. His face lit up a bit, "It wasn't silly, I'm your friend after all. I'm supposed to be there for you." This man, I swear to god. Y'know what? I'm making a move, I'm tired of waiting.

I looked up at him and tilted my head to the side. "Is that all we are, Aiken? Friends?" He looked confused for a bit before a look of realization flashed across his blushing face. He averted his gaze, "I suppose that's what we are. I think that we're friends, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting that we could be more than friends?"

I smiled a bit and stepped a little closer to him. "You do know what I mean by 'more than friends', right?" Aiken asked somewhat awkwardly and I hummed in response. "Do you really want that?" I frowned a bit, what is he talking about.

"Of course, I do. Only if you want it too though. Why would you think I wouldn't want that?" Aiken cleared his throat and connected his gaze with mine once again. "I've... Well, I've never really been with anyone before. I don't get how you'd want a relationship with me."

I stepped even closer to him, placing my hand gingerly on his shoulder. "I don't get why I wouldn't want a relationship with you. You're a smart, respectable, and kind man. Don't even get me started on how handsome you are. Of course I want to be with you." I said in a soft voice watching his awkward facial expression fade away, he looked to be relieved in some way.

The doctor wrapped a single arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. "Would it be weird if I said I wanted to be with you too?" I shook my head no and wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned down, quite a lot may I add, to kiss me gently. I was shocked at first but I quickly melted into it and began to kiss back.

My hand wandered to his long hair, gripping it lightly. He groaned a bit and deepened the kiss. We both pulled away panting, staring at each other passionately and longingly.

Finally.
