Your eyes fluttered open, and looking from side to side you come face to face with Shouto laying soundfully next to you. You take the time to admire his features in his quiet slumber. Memories from last night flashed and played in your mind as you gently touched Shouto's hair. You knew you couldn't stay for long. Your movements were silent and swift as you got off the bed. You place your clothes back, being mindful of Shouto's sleeping form. You began to wonder where your shirt went. Looking under the bed, in the drawers, and you still couldn't find it. 

Before you could leave the room, you felt someone tug on your shirt. "Please, Don't go yet," Shouto whispers, using one hand to rub the sleep out of his eyes. You couldn't help the smile that formed on your face as you nodded your head in agreement. Shouto's eyes lighten up at your agreement. He hops out of the bed and begins to go to the kitchen. That's when it is revealed that Shouto had your shirt on all along. 

You sat at the table connected to the kitchen, watching Shouto move quickly around the kitchen. Your clothes did fit him well. You get up from the chair and make your way behind Shouto, wrapping your arms around his waist. "Such a good morning, isn't it?" Usually, you never stay with one person. You knew how dangerous it is to keep someone close. You could be putting them in danger, you could even be putting yourself at risk of being locked up. You can't help but be drawn in by him. It was something about Shouto, you couldn't put your finger on it. 

"Good morning, sorry for taking your shirt. I just wanted to feel a little closer to you ." Shouto states softly, his words barely higher than the buzzing of a bee. You place a kiss on the nape of his marked neck. "Such a sweetheart, aren't you?" You felt the way Shouto melted in your arms. "S-stop. I don't want to burn the pancakes." Shouto moans out resulting in a victorious smirk appearing on your face. You decide you would let him go this time. You unwrap your arms from his waist and step back. 

It didn't take long for Shouto to finish the food and plate them. He places a plate before you, it is filled with pancakes, eggs, toast, and bacon. You were quick to dig in, moaning at the delightful taste on your tongue. Truly a keeper. "Do you like it?" Shouto asks shyly, his eyes hopeful and round. "It's amazing. I might have to stay over more often." Shouto laughs at your words, his eyes never leaving you. He hoped you meant that. 

Once the two of you finish eating, You help with the cleanup. It was the least you could have done for him since he cooked. Shouto watched at the table, your bareback on full display. His eyes saw a few scars on your back. He saw a jagged-looking cut at the side, but his view was interrupted by your stance. "Shouto." Shouto perks up, quickly responding with a yes. "You look really good in a kitchen. You would make a great wife, ya know?" Shouto felt the way his heart began to pound rapidly in his chest. "Do you mean that?" You let out a sigh and turn the water off. You used a towel to wipe the water off your hands. 

You make your way to Shouto, a charming smile on your face making Shouto's heart flutter at the sight. "Of course I mean that, You have great cooking skills, you're smart, cute. You are just great to be around." You pinch Shouto's cheeks teasingly, watching the way his whole face is enveloped in a deep red. "I wouldn't mind being your wife," Shouto whispers. You tilt your head curiously. "Did you say something?" Shouto shakes his head, a nervous grin on his lips. Before you can ask again, your phone begins to ring. A groan leaves your lips as you check the Caller ID. Shouto's eyebrows furrowed in worry. "What's wrong?" You shake your head and place the phone on the counter. "Nothing, just some work. I have to get ready." Shouto visibly deflates before you, a pout on his lips. "Don't be sad. I'll call you later, ok?" Shouto lets out a small sigh and nods his head. "I better get home. Breakfast was great." You place a kiss on Shouto's forehead. You decided to leave your shirt there for Shouto, something he could remember you by.
