Chapter 2: Mornings
Garnet squinted his eyes opened as the sounds of the blaring alarm clock broke him from his slumber. Gathering his bearings together, the crimsonette let out a deep yawn as he stretched his arms. It was then he felt something off.
Turning to his left, he was greeted to the sight of a sea of golden locks of hair and the pleasant scent of lemons. Feeling a strong pair of arms tightened around his smaller frame. Garnet immediately knew that this person in his bed was none other than his girlfriend Yang.
Memories of last night started to come back to him. It was Friday yesterday, meaning every student of Beacon was finally off for the weekend. Yang had wondered if she could hang out at Garnet's after school. The 15 year old saw no problem with it. His dad was out on a job and wouldn't be back for a while now. So he pretty much had the entire house to himself. And thus, the entire evening was spent on what couples normally do whenever they're alone.
Eating lots of junk food, while introducing your girlfriend to various types of Anime ever created.
. . . Okay maybe not what ALL couples do normally when they're usually alone. But Garnet and Yang weren't really like most couples.
Garnet couldn't remember how long they had their little marathon, or what time they even fell asleep. He must've been the first to pass out, as he had no recollection of making it to his bed. Being Rudely interrupted by the sounds of his alarm clock, yet again, the boy growled in frustration as he unplugged the thing from it's socket. Not even bothering to shut it off manually. Thinking about it now; he really saw no reason why he, 1) even had the darn thing on in the first place. And on a weekend to boot! And 2) The mind really could block out all
unpleasant things now, can it?
Seeing as he awake now, he might as well get up and get something to eat. Pulling the covers off, Garnet started to ease himself out of bed, so he wouldn't wake up his snoozing girlfriend. Before he could even set one foot on the ground. He was met with an unwilling force, pulling back into the bed. A force named Yang Xiao Long.
Garnet blinked, then attempted to get out of bed once again. This time, a bit more slower. Yang must've been REALLY comfortable using him as a body pillow. Cause not only was he pulled back into her, more roughly this time around. Her arms practically snaked around his body, he even felt one of her legs wrap around his own to lock him into place. Garnet felt a sigh leaving his mouth. This was gonna be problem.
-X-
Yang was content. It had been months since she'd gotten some decent sleep, due to the load of school work that was piled on. But this one night of sleep managed to melt all her stress away. She didn't know what it was that made her feel this way. But whatever it was, it was helping. And it was clear, that she had no
intention of getting out of bed anytime soon. She frowned when she started to feel something move away from her. Unconsciously, she pulled the object she had been sleeping with back to her. When she felt it back where it belong she let out a satisfied sigh and fixed herself into a more comfortable position again.
Only to feel the object shift around once again.
With a silent growl, she pulled whatever was in her arm back to her. This time more roughly; in hopes that whatever was pulling what she was sleeping on, would stop. Because; so help her Remnant above. If she felt a tug again…
*Shift*
Oh that's it!
One lilac opened up, fully intending to tear into whoever was doing that. She was surprised to see that the source of her problems was none other than Garnet. Who saw that she was awake and gave a small smile.
"Hey" He greeted "Morning"
"Morning…" She greeted back, both eyes now opened.
"Ya mind letting go? You're kinda smothering me."
True to form, Garnet's claim was indeed the case. Aside from the slender arms wrapped tightly around him, that would make even a Boa Constrictor feel uncomfortable. Yang also unconsciously had her boyfriend's face buried deep into her chest. Forcing the boy to keep his head up. Not only to look at her; but to also provide oxygen for him.
The blonde blushed; and loosened her grip on Garnet "Sorry…"
Garnet gave one of his usual cheery smiles "It's okay, now. Since you're awake, how bout some breakfast? I'm feeling pancakes this morning."
Meanwhile inside a bedroom in another house a few blocks down. A certain orange haired girl shot up from her bed wide awake. Her eyes darted around her room in a wild manner.
"Someone has uttered the 'P' in my presence…" She muttered quietly "ANOTHER DISCIPLE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO THE GREATNESS THAT IS PANCAKES!"
Next to the loud orangette. A huge lump under the bed covers started shifting to reveal a mop of black hair with a single pink highlight on it.
"Ngh… Nora, go back to sleep. It's too early for you to be this loud." A tired male voice said before pausing "...or crazy."
"But...but…but Reeen, Pancakes!" Nora whined
"That's nice…" Ren responded sleepily "I'll make you some later on. For now, go back to sleep."
"YAAY!"
-X-
Garnet had a distant look on his face. Yang noticed this and grew worried "Something wrong?"
"I...felt a disturbance in the force."
Yang raised a brow "What?"
The Crimson haired boy shook his head "Nothing" He said "Anyways, time to get up."
"Do I have to?" His blonde girlfriend whine
"Come on, we have to get up at some point. Might as well be sooner than later."
"But it's soo comfortable." Yang emphasized, snuggling into the bed to prove her point "5 minutes, please?"
Garnet closed his eyes and sighed "No Yang"
"Aw come on, please?"
"No"
"Five minutes, and I promise I'll get up!" Yang persuaded
Garnet opened his eyes and looked at Yang "We're not negotiating… this…"
Garnet's voice died in his throat when he saw the look on Yang's face. Now, when a cute girl is asking for something and are met with some tough resistance. They often times bust out their trump card: The PDP. Otherwise known as the Puppy Dog Pout, to get what they want. In Yang's case, it was something completely different. Ever see how in anime; a cute little moe girl looks at someone with sad pleading look in their eyes. Now picture a face like that, on someone like Yang.
A girl who's normally confident and somewhat seductive when it came to her attitude; was wow reverted to a innocent little girl.
Garnet gaped at the unbelievable (and downright adorable) display in front of him at the moment. In his frozen state, Yang grabbed both of his hands and brought them together.
"Pwease Onii-chan, can't we lay here together a little longer?" She asked using the best little girl impression she could muster.
Feeling his resistance shatter instantly; as well as silently cursing himself for showing Yang those Moe girl animes. Garnet let out something that was a mix between a groan and a sigh
"Five minutes." He said defeated, but then his tone hardened slightly "But not a second more."
"Yay!" Yang grinned, falling back onto the bed, pulling Garnet along with her "Thanks Onii-chan!"
"Yeah, yeah" Garnett replied with an eye roll "You're welcome."
It didn't take long for Yang to go back to sleep. As soon as her head hit the pillow, the blonde was out cold. Garnet sighed, somehow knowing full well that it was going to be an issue waking Yang up when the five minutes were up. But, if he had to be honest; he really didn't mind. After all, if getting up late meant waking comfortably like this every morning…
"This might not be so bad."
End
Wow, when I said that I would have the next chapter ready for you guys soon, I meant it huh?
To be honest, I actually have some ideas for this story. The only thing, is getting them down on paper. Which is notably more easier said than done. I digress, anyway, guys this was chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the first. And the third one is well under way. Until then…
See you next time ^_^
