Doppo woke up to his alarm blaring in his ear. Not his preferred way of waking up, but on mornings like this there wasn't much of a choice. He glances at the clock and holds in a moan. How long did he get to sleep? Two hours, maybe? He really needed to stop doing this. Staying up so late to work wasn't really an option. Then again…

He rolled over to his side and wrapped his arms around Chuuya's waist, snuggling his boyfriend's head under his chin as he pulled him in close. Chuuya let out a little sound, like he's considering waking up.

"Chuuya," Doppo mutters drowsily. He takes in a long, sleepy breath and gets rewarded with a whiff of Chuuya's shampoo. He smiles into his partner's hair and snuggles in closer, "I think we have to get up."

Chuuya doesn't respond at all. His breath stays quiet and even.

Doppo hates to wake him up. After all, he'd gotten just a little sleep as him and when he's asleep he looks so relaxed. Well, he did look goofy with the drool coming down his cheek and all, but Doppo even loved that. Perhaps because he's the only one who gets to see it, but perhaps just because it's Chuuya and he loves everything about him.

Leaving the warm bed and Chuuya's side seems terribly unfair, but he has very little choice in the matter. He can't afford to be late, and neither can his partner. Doppo stands, the carpet cold on his feet. He rubs his eyes awake and then reaches for his glasses.

A weight suddenly drapes itself across his back and the sweet shampoo scent surrounds him. "Good morning," Chuuya mutters, his voice hoarse with lack of sleep. He reaches and takes the long part of Doppo's hair from around his neck, gathering it all into a ponytail in his fist. He brushes his fingers through it lightly, getting rid of the night's knots.

After a long moment, he lets it drop and puts his head on Doppo's shoulder.

Doppo smiles lightly and twists his head to plant a kiss on Chuuya's lips. He feels his boyfriend smile against them in return.

Chuuya put his hands on Doppo's cheeks and pulls him back down into the bed to kiss him a little deeper. He breaks free from the kiss and wraps Doppo up in his arms. "Can't we sleep just a little longer?" he asks quietly.

"I wish." Doppo hugs him back, taking the opportunity to play with his hair now, "We had a long day yesterday."

Chuuya snorts, "Understatment."

"I'll make coffee," Doppo tries to stand again, but Chuuya's arms hold him back.

"Stay… just for a little longer," he says, burying his face in his chest, "We can't sleep but… I like being like this."

There's a redness to his ears that Doppo can't help but smile at. After all this time and he's embarrassed by such a suggestion? How cute.

"Alright," Doppo said, stroking his partner's hair lightly, "Just a little longer."
