Amity POV:

I slowly slipped out of my blank dream, feeling myself start to wake up even though I didn't open my eyes. My body felt warm practically all over, one of my arms numb, the sound of Luz's heartbeat softly thumping in my ears. 

My free ear barely twitched as it caught the faint sound of music around me, sounding similar to the tune that Luz was humming last night. Taking a deep breath, I was met with the smell of Luz, which was a pleasant mix of sleep and pine. 

She was slowly running a hand up and down my back, softly humming along with the song. I could feel her legs shift slightly, trying not to move much since they were tangled with mine. Her hand that was running down my back went back up, now slowly running itself through my hair. 

"This is all that matters."

"Lying here beside her."

Her voice held a hint of huskiness in it, telling me that she woke up not too long ago. The hand that was running through my hair moved closer to my ear, making it twitch. 

"Silent nods of understanding."

"Endless fits of laughter.

I didn't have to look at her to tell that she was smiling. Without saying anything, I nuzzled a little closer to her, burying my head in her neck. She didn't miss a beat and carefully pulled me closer, moving so that she wouldn't wake me, since she still didn't know I was up. 

"This is all that matters."

"Can't stop staring at her."

Luz's hand started to run up and down my back again, making me squeeze her a bit tighter. I could hear her breathing hitch for a second before returning back to normal. 

"This is all that matters."

"This is all that matters."

The song ended on a sweet note, then Luz let out a soft sigh. Then, she gave me a quick kiss on the top of my head, nearly making me squeak. "Eres hermosa mientras estas dormida." She mumbled softly. 

I couldn't understand most of the sentence, but the one word I was able to pick out was the word beautiful. I didn't move, not wanting to give away that I was awake yet. Luz slowly shifted again, straining to reach over for something before moving back to her original position. 

She started to hum a new tune under her breath as another song started playing, this one a little louder than the last. However, the song was quick to be shut off. "As much as I love AJR, now isn't a good time to jam out to Bang." 

When she figured I wasn't going to wake up, she let out a sigh of relief. I could hear the light sound of her setting something down, then she just laid still. There was silence for a moment, then the sound of Luz's window creaking open. 

A breeze blew in, making me involuntarily shiver and try to nuzzle closer to Luz for warmth. "Shoot..." I could hear her say, her body lightly shaking with a shiver as well. She moved slightly, her head tilting downward. "King!" She whisper shouted, earning a groan from the other end of the mattress. 

"What?" He asked back, his voice a lot louder than Luz's. She was quick to shush him, probably holding a finger up to her lips. 

"Not so loud!" She hissed, making my ears twitch. "She's still asleep." I could hear King sigh, probably rolling his bright eyes. "Look, I'm sorry to bug you, but do you mind passing me a blanket? Please?" 

"I don't get why you don't just shove her off of you and get it yourself." The demon mumbled, making Luz groan. 

"Because King, it'd be mean just to shove her off." There was silence for a moment, then King piped up again, his voice a lot more deadpan than the first time.
