Better together (BBRAE)

11) morning.

I woke up and rubbed my eyes.

I sat up. Sunlight was peaking through my windows. I looked over at my alarm clock.

8:20 am.

How on earth did I manage to sleep until 8:20!? My previous record was 7:15!

I felt so refreshed and ready for the day, a feeling that I hadn't felt in so, so long.

Well, time to get up.

I looked over at Beastboy, who was still sleeping peacefully.

He looked so snuggly and cute.

Well, maybe just a few more minutes...

I laid back down on the bed and got as close to him as possible.

He moved around as he woke up a bit. When he saw me, he smiled and kissed me on the forehead.

"Good morning beautiful," he said.

I smiled and my heart melted.

"Good morning to you too," I responded.

I kissed him on the cheek. He smirked and then wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me in until our chests met each other and our hips were pushed together. I wrapped my arms around him as tight as I could and I tucked my head under his chin. His arms wrapped around my back and head.

Being in his arms was my new favorite thing in the whole world. I felt so safe and so loved. We were starting to get really comfortable around each other, and everything was moving way faster than I could've ever imagined. All of my worries disappeared when I was with him, which was something I never thought was possible. Suddenly, I felt sleepy again and I started to drift off.

"I love you," I whispered.

I panicked. I did NOT mean to say that.

Oh no.

But when I looked up, Beastboy was already asleep again. Even his nose was twitching, something I've noticed that he does while he's asleep. It's so cute.

"Thank azar," I said quietly as I sighed a breath of relief.

Man... I have to be more careful...

But a part of me felt weird... kinda like I wanted him to hear? I guess maybe deep down I wanted to be with him. I just wanted to know if he felt the same way, even though I convinced myself that he didn't.
