Waking up in their lovers arms for the first time in a long time was unusual, after so many weeks of sleeping alone it almost didn't feel real to have the warmth of someone by their side again. Strong protective arms were wrapped so firmly around their torso that they were sure that not even the most skilled escape-artist could get free of them, but they weren't complaining. This was the first weekend in over four months that the two finally had sometime off to spend together, and Y/N wasn't giving that up for the world. A small quite groan left their mouth as their eyes fluttered opened slightly, looking towards the window where a bright ray of sun was casting itself through the slight crack in the curtains. Their brow furrowed as they shut their eyes again and arched their back slightly, pressing against Otto's chest as a small smile appeared on their face. Y/N carefully moved their hands to rest on the taller mans arms that were snaked around their waist, they sighed and shuffled a little before shifting themself to face Otto. He looked so peaceful when he's asleep, not a single sign of stress or worry. Y/N rested a hand against their partners chest, using their other to tuck a strand of blond hair behind his ear. Their hand caressed Otto's cheek, being careful not to wake him just yet, he deserves a good rest for once. The young persons cheeks glowed a rosy hue as they let their half-lidded eyes flicker over each imperfectly perfect feature, their heart fluttered as they admired him in the golden morning sunshine. The stillness of the moment was perfect, the world felt as though it had frozen forever at the best possible time; birds sang outside undisturbed, No cars were driving down the street, no one had work to rush to, only a few people walked past the house every now and then quietly chattering about something or another. Y/N wouldn't have it any other way.
They remained in that bed, in Otto's arms for another twenty or so minutes, just admiring the swede and getting lost in thought. Their wanderlust mind spun ideas of moving to the country side, living far away from society and the busyness that comes with the cities, the dream of living with Otto in complete peace. There's nothing they would want more in the world. The bedroom door creaking opened brought them back from their thoughts, drawing their attention to Axel who was leaning in the doorway carefully. Y/N pressed a finger to their lips and the brother nodded, agreeing to be quiet and not wake up Otto for once.
"God morgon. Oscar and I are going to the shops, do you need anything?"
He whispered, glancing around the room. Y/N thought for a moment, they had been meaning to get a few bits and pieces.
"There's a list on the dresser over there. How long will you be gone?"
Axel stealthily took the list and skimmed over it, mumbling a few of the items to himself.
"A few hours, Oscar's determined to get himself new boots."
The swede chuckled breathily, glancing at the window.
"Don't set the house on fire"
He smiled a little
"Hej då"
And he left with a nod, shutting the door behind him quietly. Y/N lay in silence until they heard the front door shut and the car outside starting up, they were completely alone now. They skilfully slipped themself from Otto's arms, replacing their body with a pillow so that hopefully he wouldn't wake up. They picked up the first item of clothing that they could from the ground and slipped it on to fight that early morning breeze that always drifted through the house, it was fairly obvious that the shirt they had just slipped on was Otto's from how the sleeves covered their palms. Y/N ran a hand through their hair and looked in the mirror, deciding that since there was no one else in the house, it was acceptable to wander around just a shirt and underwear. The door squeaked a little, causing Otto to make a face and hold the pillow closer to himself, Y/N's heart nearly melted at the sight. They smiled sweetly before leaving the bedroom, heading down the stairs to the kitchen. A few of the cats were lying in various unique ways on the sofa as they passed through the living room, one of the cats circled their legs as they walked but most of the felines just didn't bother with them. They bent down and picked the cat up like a baby, walking to the kitchen with the little furball.
"God morgon, barn"
They chuckled a little and put the cat down by the bowl of food on the ground by the countertops.
"Let's see what I can make today, huh?"
They spoke to the cat as they turned on the radio and began preparing breakfast.

The bitter sweet smell of coffee drifted through the house and to the bedroom, where Otto was beginning to wake up. He pulled the pillow closer to his chest, leaning down with his eyes still gently closed to press a gentle kiss where Y/N's neck would usually be. He was disappointed and a little confused as he realised it was only a pillow in his arms, he opened one eyes slightly to confirm the fact. He groaned and pulled himself up from the bed, untangling his arms from around the pillow and tossing it aside. With a yawn and a nearly-painful stretch he woke himself up more, looking around the room as he rubbed his eyes free of sleep. The swede stood up and wobbled only slightly for a moment as he let his eyes get used to the light and his body get used to functioning again. Otto grabbed a pair of pyjama pants that he had thrown towards his wardrobe last night and took a tshirt from his top drawer so that no one could complain. He stood still as he heard humming and singing coming from down the stairs, a smile stretched across his face at the sweet sound. He headed down to the kitchen somehow managing to not be harassed by cats on the way there, and stood in the doorway quietly, observing. Y/N hadn't noticed that he was there, they were too busy singing along to the radio and cooking some bacon, every so often they would raise the spatula like a microphone and sway their hips a little. Otto shook his head and managed to silently sneak up behind them, his strong arms snaked around their hips from, causing them to jump a little.
"Christ! Otto! You scared me"
Otto laughed quietly as he rested his head on his lovers shoulder, nuzzling against their neck.
"God morgon, to you too~"
He purred and lifted his head as Y/N turned around to face him, turning down the gas cooker so that they wouldn't actually burn the house down.
"What did I say about sneaking up on me?"
Y/N complained, playfully hitting his shoulder with the spatula. Otto pouted a little but couldn't keep it for long, he looked down with a dopey smile.
"Sorry, I was just wanting to watch the show"
He teased as he moved his hands to the other persons hips, swaying them both in time with the music.
"you're just going to dance without me, now? Is that why you get up early now?"
He pulled Y/N a little closer, causing them to giggle quietly and shake their head.
"Mhm, that's my big plan baby, to spitefully get up before you just to dance"
They joked as Otto took their hand and carefully twirled them before pulling them back into his arms, Y/N moved their arms to rest over his shoulder as they swayed.
"I knew it"
Otto said playfully as if he had just found out that his hypothesis about the secrets of the universe were true. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to his partners forehead before Y/N reluctantly removed themself from his arms.
"There's a cup of coffee for you on the side"
They motioned to the mug by the sink, the coffee was still warm and was made just the way he likes its, strong enough to kill the gods. Otto leaned against the counter with the warm mug in his hands.
"What's the plans for today, snygging"
Otto mused as he took a sip of coffee. Y/N's heart fluttered every time they heard Otto speaking his native language, especially since they had been starting to learn it so they can surprise Otto one day with the fact that they can now understand a lot of the conversations that the brothers have and think they can't understand.
"Well, your brothers are going to be gone for a few hours, maybe we could watch one of those movies you keep going on about~? Maybe even be sneaky and move the TV to our bedroom so we can cuddle without the cats trying to kill us?"
Otto nodded, that sounded like a good idea.
"And?"
He knew that Y/N must have more in mind, they are the romantic one after all, and plans ahead a lot.
"You know me too well." They muttered. "And then later, we could go for a nice romantic dinner and a moonlit walk in the park~?"
Y/N took two plates from the cupboard and dished up breakfast, the bacon was a little crispy but Otto can't complain since it's his fault that the chef was distracted.
"Perfect"
The swede hummed, setting down his coffee and hooking an arm around his partners waist again, pulling them close. He leaned down and gently kissed their lips, a sweet and loving kiss.
"What was that for?"
Y/N chuckled a little as they pulled back from the kiss but remained in Ottos strong arms.
"Jag älskar dig"
They knew what that meant, they pulled Otto down by the collar and gave him another sweet kiss before whispering in his ear.
"I love you too~"

((My heart was soft for this one))
