As ever, I do not own Casualty, any of its plots or characters.

She rolled her head to one side, before inhaling and sighing sleepily, opening her eyes slowly. She turned on her side, propping her elbow up on the pillow, watching his nose crinkle as he breathed. She would always wake up before him and no matter how many times he told her to nudge him awake too, she could never bring herself to disturb him. After a few minutes, she slipped quietly from the bed and took her thin, white dressing gown from the hook on the back of the door. She tied it about herself as she walked down the stairs, taking a hair tie from the pocket and fastening her hair loosely at the nape of her neck. She smiled on entering the kitchen, hearing movements from upstairs, and put a pod in the coffee machine before taking an apple and an orange from the fruit bowl.

She had finished cutting the apple by the time he joined her, and just as she took a piece from the board she felt it leave her fingers, followed by a strong arm around her waist and a soft kiss to her neck. She turned her head to look up at him, an eyebrow raised in amusement, and he promptly returned the apple piece to her mouth, grinning as he slipped both hands to her waist and toyed with the tie to her gown. She tried to ignore him, before she rolled her eyes as she felt the material loosen considerably around her.

"You..." She swatted his hands away as she moved to the coffee machine, but he merely reattached them and sauntered over with her. "You are so naughty!" He groaned as she tried to wriggle free of his grasp, before turning around, her back pressed against the counter. He was so close, and she desperately resisted placing her hands on his chest, so they squeezed uncomfortably behind her. He laughed as he watched her move her head from side to side to avoid his, she would always pretend that his affections irritated her but really, really she adored how much he seemed to crave her, from the very first minute of every day.

"And you..." He let go of her waist and placed his fingers on either side of her jaw, hands cupped just around her chin. "You are so beautiful." She poked her tongue into her cheek, her eyes firmly focused on his. He kissed her then, and her hands moved from behind her to rest just under his shoulders. She pressed herself against him, smiling into the kiss before she drew back and ducked to the side, running quickly through the kitchen and into the living room.

"Oh, this was for me then?" She imagined his smirk as he called through to her, and she heard the unmistakable crunch of an apple, followed by the scraping of a stool against the floor. She peered her head around the door to see him as she predicted, smiling cheekily at her, and she moved forward to snatch her apple from him.

"I don't think so..." He brought her onto his knee and held her there whilst she looked at him, eyebrows raised but with a definite smile inching it's way onto her features, no matter how hard she tried to disguise it. She bit her lip, and he sighed as he watched her; she knew that drove him crazy.

"God woman, the things I do for you."

"I cut it. It's hardly an act of chivalry, if that's what you're wanting to believe."

He picked up another piece of apple from the board on the table and placed it in her mouth.

"I love you." He waited for her to finish, and she put her hands around his neck.

"Yeah, and I love you too."

"Do you want me to..."

"Get my coffee, and my orange? Yes please. There's porridge in the cupboard."
