Happy Birthday, dear Chey! I hope it was a good one! Sorry for the lack of read more, mobile Tumblr sucks for that. Malik lifted the warm mug to his lips as his eyes scanned the light pink sky, taking in the sight of the sun rays playing amongst the clouds. Sunrises had always been his favourite. There was just something refreshing about watching the day start anew, and always being the first to rise, he often got to enjoy them in blissful silence. But not today. His head snapped to the right as a floorboard creaked in the hallway, Chey's form ambling sleepily around the corner relaxing his tensed state. How could you stay mad at a sweetheart in fuzzy pink cloud pyjamas? "Morning." Malik said quietly, turning on the kettle to heat up some water for hot chocolate. "M'ning." Came Chey's mumbled response as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "You're up early." He commented, grabbing her mug and the hot chocolate mix from the cupboard. "C'ldn' sleep." Chey said, leaning against the counter. Malik pretended not to notice when she went to rest her head in her hand, only to miss several times before finally managing to prop her tired head up. As it was, he had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. "Well, I know something that will wake you up." Malik murmured, moving close to her with a mischievous grin. "M'lik-" Chey's protests were cut short when the horned clone brushed past her, heading for the couch. She followed apprehensively, only to be nailed square in the face with a couch pillow when she rounded the corner. "Wha-" "Let's go give Malch an early wake up call." Malik grinned at her. He was right, that wiped the sleep from her eyes. She smirked back. "I get the first swing." "Fine with me. Lead the way." Malik agreed, moving closer. Just outside the door, he stopped her, pulling her in for a light kiss. "Oh and by the way, happy birthday, beautiful. Now let's go fluff up some stars."
