The sunlight streamed in through the curtains, waking Five up first. He slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes and yawning. He looked down at your sleeping form with a soft smile. You were tucked in beneath the covers and your breathing was light and even. He bent down to kiss your cheek before slipping out of bed. Mr. Pennycrumb was curled up next to the foot of the bed. Five smiled and bent down to scratch his ear. That woke him up from his slumber.
"Hey, buddy," Five knelt down. "Ready to go outside?"
Mr. Pennycrumb perked when he heard the word. He laughed quietly, clicking his tongue and the dog happily trailed behind him.
Here came the same routine: he would let the dog out and make himself his usual cup of coffee. For you, he made your favorite drink to wake you up. He got the coffee started, figuring it'd be a while before you woke up. So, he decided to surprise you. He started getting ingredients out to make breakfast with. He picked out several things, really wanting to go the extra mile. Besides, it's been a while since you've had breakfast in bed.
Before he started, he let Mr. Pennycrumb inside and fed him. After he was taken care of, Five softly hummed as he made breakfast for the two of you, trying his best not to be too loud and disturb you in the process. He didn't want to ruin the surprise and/or your rest. He slid out two plates from above, putting them on the fancy silver platter you got from your grandmother for Christmas. He carefully put the freshly cooked food on all the plates, as well as the cups and the two empty plates. With that, he swept up the platter and headed into the bedroom again. Mr. Pennycrumb trotting beside him, hoping for a crumb or two to fall.
When the two came inside the bedroom, you were still asleep, cozy beneath the covers.
"Oh, Y/N," Five quietly hummed in amusement. He set the tray down on the bedside table.
The smell of food didn't even stir you awake and that was when he knew you were really asleep. He perched on the edge of the bed next to you, careful not to move too much. He gently swept some of your soft h/c hair out of your face and let the back of his fingers lightly trail down your cheek.
"Hey, it's time to wake up," he lovingly shook your shoulder.
"Y/N? Love of mine, it's time to wake up," he shook you a bit more.
You let out a small groan, starting to stir awake now. Although you were having a nice dream.
"Hm, what?" you slurred out sleepily.
Five softly laughed, brushing some more fallen hair out of your tired eyes. "Good morning, my love," he greeted, taking your hand and kissing it.
"Hi," you smiled, rubbing your eyes and blinking to clear your vision.
"Did you sleep well?" he shifted some to let you move around a bit.
You nodded. "I think so. Did you?"
"As much as I usually do," Five got up and kissed your forehead.
"Goodness, what is that amazing smell?" you breathed in.
He grinned, sliding the tray off of the table. "Why, our breakfast of course, my darling."
"Oh my gosh, are you serious? Five!" you gasped, seeing all the delightful food.
"What can I say? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," he carefully placed the tray down.
"You arranged it so nicely I'm almost afraid to eat it," you admitted almost shyly.
He laughed. "Don't be. This is for you."
"It looks amazing," you didn't even know where to begin.
"Good. I just hope it tastes as good as it looks."
"Oh, hush. Your cooking is delightful," you kissed his cheek and then proceeded to help yourself.
After you got what you wanted, Five fixed his own plate. The two of you ate in comfortable silence as Mr. Pennycrumb jumped onto the bed, curling up near the end and away from the tray. You smiled, setting the tray on the bedside table to let the dog join the two of you.
"You know what we need?" you looked to Five.
Five frowned some. "What?"
"Music," you grinned, going over to the record player. You slid in your favorite vinyl and soft music began to fill the air.
Five opened the curtains, letting more light pour into the room. You smiled. Despite having to wake up, you secretly loved mornings. You loved the peaceful atmosphere you and Five shared. You loved just co-existing with him in the same room, even if you two never exchange a word. Mornings were always so relaxing and tranquil and calm. Five really did know the best ways to start off the days.
After the two of you finished breakfast, you two cleaned up the dishes and finished getting ready for the day. Though the both of you returned to the bedroom. You picked up a book, beginning to read. Five was busily throwing a ball for Mr. Pennycrumb and keeping him entertained. You laid back on him, feeling his arm lazily drape over you.
"Ooh," you perked up when your favorite song began playing. "This is a good one!" you eagerly closed your book and popped up to your feet, grinning at Five.
"Yes?" he returned with a slight frown.
"Dance with me?" you requested shyly, holding your hands out for him.
"Oh…uh…" Five turned red. Despite being forced to take ballroom lessons at the Academy, he wasn't much of a dancer.
Mr. Pennycrumb barked at Five as if to further urge him.
"Please? Just this once?" you gave him your best pleading face. You puckered our your bottom lip ever so slightly.
Five sighed, not being able to resist. "Okay, okay. Only for you, my angel."
You squealed happily as he got up and went over. You looped your arms around his neck and his snaked around your waist, pulling you closer to him. You smiled softly, hearing him softly sing under his breath. His lips lightly brushed against your ear and his words traveled from your eardrum to your heart.
As the song faded out, Five smiled down at you. "You're incredible, did you know that?"
"Awww…I try…" you blushed bright red.
He smiled and kissed you lovingly as you returned it. The two of you pulled apart a few moments later.
Oh how glad you were that he existed.
