It was uncommon for Apollo to wake up and not see Athena by his side. His girlfriend was never a morning person, so for her to be out and about this early was quite unusual.
Sliding out of their bed to investigate, he felt a pair of arms wrap around him, and his attacker's hands run down his bare abdomen.
"Morning tiger," He chuckled at Athena's antics, "What's got you up so early?"
Nuzzling into the back of his neck, she let out a hum of response, "I wanted to surprise you, but I hadn't counted on you waking up so early, so I had to attack you instead."
Turning around to face her, Apollo planted a kiss on her forehead. "And what was it you were planning to surprise me with?"
"Breakfast in bed, cuddles, a movie," Standing on her toes, her lips brushed against his ear, "Maybe something else."
"Oh?" Her offer was certainly tempting, but Apollo felt he needed to point out the obvious "And what about work?"
A sly smile made its way onto Athena's face, as if she had been expecting him to ask, "What about it?" Of course she didn't care, if they missed work, "don't we deserve a day off?" She was right. Their past few clients had been nightmares to work with, and trials and investigations that dragged on for far too long. He had been complaining about needing a break from it all for weeks now, and who was he to decline her offer.
"Well then," Apollo smirked at her, "Just know that I won't be the one responsible for cleaning the toilet when Mr. Wright gets mad at us tomorrow."
Smacking his shoulder, she laughed at him. The way her eyes shone as she laughed, and the smile that she flashed, reserved for only him, was so enticing. Apollo leaned down and captured her lips with his own, to which she returned the favour with just as much passion and intensity, as she ran her fingers through his hair.
He had fallen fast and hard for her, but really, he wouldn't have it any other way.
