The dim glow under the duvet illuminated her sharp features in the dark, making his eyes sparkle as he stared at her sleeping face. Soft breath of hers blew on his chin, her arm lifelessly rest around his bare chest while her leg circled his waist, entangling their bodies under the duvet. Meanwhile, his limbs embraced her closely and tightly while he adored her features as she peacefully slept. 

Even after they goodnights, Jimin refused to sleep and was wide awake for awhile as Xena drifted deep into her dreamland in his arms. The dim light of the dawn colored the spacious room with hues of blue and gray while the Sun took its time to crawl up. His vision slowly enhanced as more light lit up her face, granting him a clear sight of her features which he couldn't help but traced his fingers on. 

Just when Jimin was able to bask in her beauty under brighter light, a myna stopped near the window and started chirping loudly. The twitting of the bird echoed throughout the bedroom and hit the sensitive ears of the General, being her natural alarm as always. A frown creased Jimin's forehead when Xena started stirring in her sleep due to the chirping. He used his power to shuffle the thick velvet curtains and shooed the bird away but the General was already squinting her eyes open. 

"No need for that. I'm up since minutes ago, anyway", Xena's morning voice rung in his ears like harmonies but her words were the ones that made his ears reddened as his eyes widened a little upon realizing he was caught red headed for staring at her. She cracked an eye open and smirked at his embarrassed expression, "yes, Your Highness. I knew you were staring". Xena chuckled at his embarrassed eye roll as he rolled onto his back and avoided her eyes.  

Xena caught his shoulders before he could roll to his side before propping her upper body onto him with face hovering over his. "Good morning, Your Majesty", she playfully bowed with her head before cupping his jaw to plant a kiss on his plump lips that stretched into a grin as he returned her with a passionate kiss. "What's with the cheekiness, General?", Jimin mumbled into the kiss with a chuckle but she just shrugged and pulled away with a smile, "no idea". 

The General pecked him one last time before patting his bare chest and rolling to the side to sit at the edge of the bed in shorts only while putting her hair up into a ponytail, out of habit of course. The young king propped his upper body up onto his elbow as he eyed her moving back muscles with her spine arch and sunk in between her muscles, making Jimin regret setting skinny girls as his ideal type at first. 

Jimin sat up and buried his face into the crook of her neck as he sighed on her skin. He circled her waist with one arm while dragging his other hand up her arched spine, finger tips delicately tracing up her skin as he recalled how she arched up to him last night. "Where to, soldier", he teasingly asked in the voice she would use on her soldiers as if he was playing the role of a general. "Work, of course. I almost forgot the gathering of troops since the Ferns wiped out half of it that day", her voice deepened with a click of her tongue, indicating her annoyance as she recalled the chaotic war they had.

Continuing on his gentle gracing of his fingers on her back, Jimin lifted his face up to peck her cheek and brush his lips against her ear, "If I'm not mistaken, you suggested staying in bed all day long with me. What changed your mind?". Both his arms circled her waist to secure her on the bed as his thumbs tenderly stroked on her tummy in hopes of changing her plan for the day even though it concerns his army. 

Xena let out a chuckle and lightly shook her head before pulling his arms away with ease and turned around with a grin, "Again, work. Sorry bub, maybe next time. You can relax here though since I heard you completed your work earlier". She kissed his cheek before standing up and headed into the bathroom with Jimin trailing right behind her in his boxers and ruffled silver locks. She put up a shirt and started brushing her teeth while the young king stood by the door as he leaned against the doorframe with crossed arms and a slight irritated face.
