mornings
the sunlight peeked through the small crevice of the curtains that were still shut from last night, illuminating the room in a warm glow of sunrise.
one tick. two ticks.
and soon enough a muffled groan was heard from one of the two present in the small but cozy bedroom.
the male opened his eyes first, slowly as he gathered his bearings after a few minutes to let himself feel more awake.
a moment after, his eyes trailed down to the girl who was comfortably snuggled against him, slow breaths escaping her lips as she slept.
his gaze softened, a small smile gracing his lips as one of his arms that was around her waist slowly and gently moved so as to not wake her up. guiding his own hand to her face, gently brushing her stray strands of hair from her face, lingering a moment longer to gently hold her cheek.
unfortunately, the moment couldnt last as long as he would've preferred, they had plans with their friends later in the afternoon after all.
gently rubbing her cheek, he let out a small hum before speaking up in a hush whisper, voice slightly raspy from having woken up only moments prior.
“mm, sweetheart, it's time to wake up.”
the girl in his arms scrunched her face slightly, stirring a little as she mumbled out a quiet "5...more minutes..." and buried her face further into his chest.
he let out a half-sigh, half-laugh as his fingers were gently carding through her hair. "c'mon sweetheart, we have plans in the afternoon with our later."
he tilted his head down, placing a light kiss on the crown of her head. "sweetheart, you dont wanna keep our friends waiting do you?"
the girl groaned, lifting her head off his chest slightly to sleepily glare up at her boyfriend. "only cause its you, maki." voice hoarse from having just, somewhat, woken up.
maki let out a small chuckle, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, his fingers idly playing with her strands of hair "well aren't you just the sweetest, getting up just cause it's me"
