i woke up before her, as usual, her beautiful hair sprawled around her. i give her one last gentle squeeze, with my arms around her waist, then very carefully peel back my arms. trying not to wake her up, but once i'm free, i just stare at her. ever since the first night she slept over, i've held her eventually through the night, just subconsciously. and since she didn't mind me holding her, we've slept like that since.

after awhile of thinking, my head shakes from my gaze, moving to brush my teeth. she has her own toothbrush here now, just for sunday evenings and monday mornings. we're more similar than one might think, despite my whole 'secret' life. my shoulders shuddering at the thought.

i don't like thinking about my music life when i'm around sky, just because i haven't told her anything. i have a feeling she'll see me in a different light, if she finds out about that aspect of me.

after brushing my teeth, i spit and go back to my room, she's still sleeping but she should wake up soon. i pick out some clothes and go back into the bathroom to change quickly. i slip back into my room and take my spot laying down beside her, once again. and of course, i start thinking.

when she stays over, we have an unspoken routine.

1. i wake up and get ready

2. she wakes up

3. we go make/eat breakfast

4. she gets ready

5. she leaves

but today there's a slight alteration

5. we leave, together

yes

what a good day

no music making,

just me

and sky

as i'm going through my mental schedule, and thoughts as usual, sky starts stirring under the covers. she's waking up. one of my favorite parts of monday's.

when we first met, she was very embarrassed when she woke, saying how she looked bad. but as this developed into a routine, she got more comfortable, thankfully. "morning, sleepy sky" i grin rolling over to face her.

"good morning" she says softly, rubbing her eyes. i reach over to tuck some hair behind her ears.

"c'mon, let's get the day started" i say getting up and making my way to her side of the bed. holding my hand out for her to take. "we should make some breakfast, yeah" i say again.

she nods her head skipping to the bathroom to freshen up. i laugh at her, laying her clothes from last night on the bed. since this became a routine, i've offered her some of my clothes to change into, which she eventually started wearing. respectively, i just go to the bathroom while she changes. we've developed a little night routine as well.

she peeks her head back into the room, "you ready to make some food!" she says happily. 

"yes, of course, let's go!" i say rushing towards the door, following her down the stairs. 

we made some eggs and what sky says are 'special hash browns'. to me they are the same things but i'm willing to follow whatever she says. 

"mmm, that was good, thanks bud" she says giving me a big bear hug. "i'm gonna go get changed, since you are already ready" she said rushing back up the stairs. i stay at the bottom of the stairs until she comes back down.

after about 10 minutes or so, i see her plopping back down the stairs, the biggest smile on her face. "okay i'm ready, how do i look?" she says doing a little twirl.

"gorgeous, you look really beautiful, sky" i say sincerely, and see a blush creep on her face. "c'mon we should go on our adventure now" 

and that's what we did.

i hopped down the big steps, with a little bit more happiness than usual. because even though i was leaving, i was leaving with ruel. that seems like something to be happy about, at least to me.

i got into my little car, laughing loudly when ruel struggles because of his height. when he finally gets in he shoots a scowling face towards me, "you know some of us aren't tiny like yourself" he says with an attitude.

i gasp at his words, pretending to be offended, "i'm not tiny, i prefer the terms petite, don't be mean"

he laughed super loudly, and i felt super proud that i was able to make him laugh that loud. "hey sky"

"hey?"

"you're blushing" he teases, and i look out the window. 

after some comfortable silence, i finally speak up, "let's get going, yeah?" and he nods. getting ready to start the car, i set my hand on the gearstick on the center console.

"i'll tell you where to go, trust me" he says placing his hand over mine, and i can feel the blush coming back once again.
