Waking up next to Clark was one of the great joys in your life.
Your eyes fluttered open to see the sun streaming in through the crack in the curtains. You could feel Clark’s strong arms wrapped around you in a warm embrace. You slowly turned over, trying not to wake him up. He always looked so peaceful when he slept.
He looked so free from the stress and pressure of his life. You had never seen anyone look as beautiful as he did without even trying. His hair was extra curly and unruly from his night’s sleep. You couldn’t help but brush it out of his face as you gently placed your palm on his cheek.
You stared at him for a moment longer before you brought your lips to his face. First to his cheeks, then his forehead, then his nose. You gently kissed him all over until you could feel the corners of his mouth twitch. The grip on your waist tightened before he fully pulled you into him. “Golly, I must be dreaming because I can feel a beautiful angel kissing me.” His raspy morning voice sent a shiver down your spine.
You giggled before he pulled you in for a morning kiss. “Good morning to you too.” You whispered as you played with the hair on his neck.
“You look exceptionally beautiful this morning, my love.” He said with such deep admiration.
“You say that every day, Clark.”
“And I mean it every day.”
Just as Clark went to pull you in for another kiss, a fluffy white ball jumped on his chest. “Ow! Krypto down! Get down!” Clark exclaimed, pointing to the dog bed in the corner of the room. Krypto didn’t listen as he excitedly nudged and pawed at him. You let out a laugh at the two.
“Aw, come one, Clark, he just wants some attention.” You scooted over a bit, leaving some room between you two. “Come here, boy.”
Clark whined as you pulled away from him. “Oh, come on!”
You patted the small space. “He just wants some morning cuddles, isn’t that right, boy?” Krypto excitedly jumped over Clark and snuggled into the spot, getting comfortable under the sheets. You gently brushed his hair with your fingers.
“I want some morning cuddles too.” Clark pouted as he reached out for you, his arm resting over Krypto. “I can’t believe I let you convince me to let him stay here for the week.”
“I didn’t want him to be lonely, and besides, he’s a good boy.” Krypto cuddled deeper into you.
“Yeah, a good boy around you. You should see him when it’s just us two. He nearly destroyed the fortress the last time I took care of him.” Krypto opened his eyes to look at Clark as if to say ‘shut it’.
“Well, he’s not destroying anything here. He just needs some training and love. Plus, look at his cute face! You can’t say no to him.” You patted his head.
“My problem isn’t saying no to him. It’s saying no to you that I can’t do.” He reached over to place another kiss on your lips. Krypto, following Clark’s lead, popped up to place a kiss of his own on your cheek.
And so began your morning cuddle puddle every time you had the pleasure of babysitting. Clark pretended to hate it, but you heard the way he would baby talk when he thought you were still sleeping.
Waking up next to Clark was a privilege, and Krypto was a sweet little bonus.
