oh whats this? a post?
How the ME:A romances wake up next to Ryder on a morning off
---
Liam - Liam likes lazy mornings. Days were he can just wake up next to Sara and relax. They usually wake up around the same time, pressing small kisses to each others faces with giggles and whispers. He prefers to have her sleep curled against his chest, one arm wrapped around her (even if it fell asleep ages ago) so that he can run his fingers along her arm while they talk about last nights dream
“have i died in my sleep and gone to heaven? because surely your an angel”
“its too early in the morning for pickup lines, Costa”
“its never too early for pick up lines”
Cora - Cora wakes up first, laying on her back with Scott practically pressed on top of her. She never really could relax, even on days off. It was always an endeavor trying to wiggle out of his grasp without him waking up and he pouts like a puppy when he realizes shes gone. Normally Cora shoves a pillow in her place to keep him sedated and gives him a forehead kiss, before she does her morning routine and puts on a fresh pot of coffee, making it jsut the way he likes it and leaving the cup by the bed. By the time Scott even bothers to sit up she's already pressed, dressed and watering her plants.
”Im starting to think you love the plants more than me”
”good morning to you too, Scott. Did you sleep well?”
”yes i did. Thank you for the coffee, by the way”
Peebee - Bold of you to assume PeeBee even gets up in the mornings on the days off. Shes a heavy sleeper, so she can and will sleep in any time she gets. (She sleeps alot to regain all that goblin energy)Ryder, bless their hearts, cannot escape PeeBee’s octopus grasp, as she raps herself around them and clings to their warmth, happily snoring until its nearly noon. When she actually does wake up, she still remains in bed for another 10 minutes and always jokingly calls ryder a weirdo for watching her sleep. please, please let go peebee, they really have to pee.
“i know your awake. Come on babe, my legs are going numb”
“snore”
“did- did you just say snore instead of actually fake snoring?”
Jaal - Jaal tends sleep with Ryder on his chest, the skin to skin contact really does him in. He tends to be an early riser, though unlike cora hes content staying where he is. He watches them sleep, carefully running his thick fingers through their hair committing every detail to memory as if it were the last time he will see it. He just holds them until they wake up, giving them soft rapid fire kisses (that he totally doesn't use that as a tactic to wake them up early what are you talking about). Every time Ryder cracks open their eyes they are instantly met by his vivid blue ones, grinning at them as he nuzzles their face.
”Good morning my darling one”
”I swear if you ever wake me up in any other way i would never forgive you”
”*Chuckling* good to know”
Vetra - Early riser by nature, and usually gets out of bed instantly , even if ryder is clinging to them. However, modern problems require modern solutions and she will literally carry ryder around while doing her morning routine and checking her logs for any supplies she has to pick up. Vetra is a busy body,even on days off and it isnt untill she’s resituated on the bed when ryder wakes up, pushing her data pad down and demanding kisses
“ugh do you ever stop? Can i at least get my morning kiss before you start jumping into work?”
“Not with that morning breath you’re not. Go brush your teeth.”
“oh, so cruel to me”
Gil - Like PeeBee, gil tends to sleep in. Though not as late. He usually tends to take his time wake in up in increments, always ending with a big stretch and loud, obnoxious yawn before “gracefully” flopping back down on the bed full force, causing it to bounce a bit. Gil runs like furnace, so Scott usual has his arms rapped around him as soon as he sits up, nuzzling into his neck befoe the two go to do their morning routings together, constantly messing with each other as they do.
“Did you just give me a shaving crème moustache?”
“you look ever handsome with it”
“Scott i don't even shave. And i already have a great beard and mustache, thank you.”
Suvi- Suvi sleeps curled into Sara, and Sara complains the moment she rolls away from her. Suvi is a long time practicer of “late to bed, early to rise” often sliding in and out of of bed at the weirdest fucking hours. Though is alot more difficult on days off because ryder wraps around her like a vice grip, knowing that Suvi actually doesn't have anything to do and is forced to stay in bed jsut a little longer. Suvi can easily be convinced.
“Let go, Sara. I have some reports i need to go over in the lab.”
“5 more minutes”
“....You’re lucky you’re cute”
Reyes - Waking up next to Reyes was rare in itself, so you bet your ass Ryder is going to take advantage of it. Reyes wakes easily and normally slides away from Ryder without being seen or heard, leaving them feeling just a bit colder. But after things settle down, so does he, slowly but surely. If they ever do share the same bed, Reyes likes to sleep with his arms wrapped around Ryder, holding them close to convince himself that they are actually there. He always wakes up first, no matter what, and sits up with their head in his lap, letting them rest as he checks his omni tool, running one hand through their hair.
“ Hmh- wait. Your still here?”
“Dont sound so surprised to see me, amore”
“Its a good kind of surprised, Reyes”
Bonus Evfra (i will never not be thirsty) - Like Vetra this man does not know the meaning of the words “a day off” and will rise with the sun in order to get to the resistance base. He wakes giving Ryder a kiss on the face before getting ready for the day, taking extra preparation to make them breakfast before he leaves and placing it on the nightstand as a form of apology, kissing them again before leaving. on the rare days Ryder actually does convince Evfra to stay in bed (usually after a long night of “passion”) he sleep on his stomach with ryder on his back (he likes to feel their weight, it grounds him) and he is content just lying there and listening to them breath with his eyes closed until they get up, placing g a kiss along his spine.
“oh ho? what's this? a handsome stranger in my bed?”
“Firstly this is my bed. Secondly, you just woke up how are you this annoying already?”
“Good morning to you too, big blue.”
