Fenris woke to birds singing outside of the window, but it wasn't the usual window he was looking out this morning, it was Hawke's window.
It had to be right after dawn, the sun just beginning to peer over the horizon and now shining through the crack in Hawke's large mahogany curtains. That's right, he was in Hawke's estate, and this time he stayed the whole night. A light smile graced Fenris' sleepy features. He did it, he didn't leave this time like he did last time.
Slowly, he rolled over and there she was. Ava Hawke was facing him, sound asleep on her stomach with her head turned towards him. Her stark white hair was gently covering part of her face, but Fenris could still see half. He let out a small sigh as he caressed her pale cheek, her skin bright in comparison with his tanned hand, except for the few freckles that graced the bridge of her nose. Her pink lips were slightly parted as she snored lightly.
Ava eventually groaned lightly as she turned completely on her side and she gave Fenris a sleepy smile. "Good morning, Fenris...you're still here." she said, scooting closer to him and cuddling to his naked chest. "I will admit I was a little worried..." she whispered, nuzzling her face into his neck.
Fenris just chuckled. "I wasn't going to leave you ever again..." he said, wrapping his arms around his sweet Ava.
"I know..." she said softly, then looked up at Fenris with her big cyan eyes. "But there is always that little doubt in the back of your head..."
"I had that too..." Fenris admitted.
"Are you sure? You were quite drunk last night when you climbed up my wall..."
Fenris blushed lightly. "Yeah I'm quite sure..."
Ava just nodded and she laid her head back down and closed her eyes. "I'm tired..." she whispered.
"Then sleep...I'll be here when you wake up." Fenris told her, rubbing her shoulder.
"Promise?" She asked, looking back up at him.
"Promise." Fenris kissed her forehead.
Ava smiled, then looked up at the window. "First...we need to do something about that bird..."
