early mornings! ft. jade leech
as always, jade woke up before you. before the shining sun rose in the sky, the alarm clock still half an hour away from ringing your ears off far too early in the morning. his morning routine was pristine and perfect, getting things done spick and span while his actions remained meticulous and flawless.
a quick, delicate kiss was left on your forehead by jade as he exited his room to venture off into the dormitories restrooms to prepare himself for the day. it was completely empty as he arrived, which was no surprise to the earliest riser in all of octavinelle.
it wasn’t long after his leaving that you woke up to a lonesome bed, full of only yourself. ever since moving into your boyfriend’s dorm, his sleep schedule had affected you greatly. without the warmth of your beloved by your side to cling to like a starfish, how were you supposed to sleep? no matter how much you wished to go back to sleep and hog the empty bed, he would be coming to wake you up sooner or later anyways.
with the grace of a zombie arising from the dead, you slung your arm over the edge of the bed and groaned in utter annoyance after seeing the time on the clock. what made it infinitely worse? just as you buried your face back into the pillow in defeat—that damned alarm clock—rung as loud as it could, knocking you right off the bed in an attempt to turn it off.
in the end, you resulted in throwing it across the room. this was his third alarm clock of the month.
slowly standing, you found your way in the darkness all the way to the restrooms within octavinelle. albeit, with a few bumps into walls along the way.
the light nearly blinded you as you stepped inside, jade’s eyes following your form in the mirror he was occupying to apply his minimal makeup. your head snapped in his direction when you heard that cheeky chuckle fall from his lips, unaware as to why he was laughing at you.
“good morning, sweetheart.” a pop! sound erupted from his lips as he finished applying his lip balm, looking away in an attempt to keep himself from giggling at the scene of you. usually he was always smooth in hiding his emotions behind the mask of a gentleman, but when he was around you? oh, he was a goner.
“what’re you laughing at?” sulking, you crossed your arms and glared at the man as he applied eyeliner. he merely hummed in response, a smile so genuine on his face for once in awhile. “you should look in the mirror, darling.”
grumbling, you turned in the direction of one of the mirrors. to nobodies surprise but your own, your hair was tangled and standing in every direction. you must’ve slept well if this was the bedhead that resulted come morning.
“jaaaaaaddeeeeeeee....” your voice came out whiny and pleading, giving him the sulkiest puppy eyes you could imagine.
and unfortunately for him, he was incredibly weak for you.
“come here.” a sigh in exasperation followed his words, shaking his head softly as he placed the eye makeup down that he was applying. you couldn’t help yourself but to flick his snake hairpin that held his hair out of his face as you walked by.
sitting on a small stool, he grabbed a hairbrush reserved solely for you in the pouch he carries his morning supplies in. he worked with delicate precision, carefully detangling the knots laying thick in your hair like a master.
it was quiet mornings like these where it was only the two of you that made waking up so early worth it. jade’s small hums and soft fingers caressing your skin, the sound of the brush combing through your hair, and the soft conversation between the two of you as you helped each other get ready for the day. it might’ve been a pain to do so early, but it’s was a pain you were willing to suffer through every morning if it meant you could spend it with him.
