Soft pale rays of the early morning sun danced across her eye-lids. A soft smile graced her lips as she lay utterly relaxed, bundled up in the silken sheets.
A content purr sounded in her ear. She turned to face it, giggling as she met with velvet fur. Dreamily, she opened on eye and pressed her face against the cat's side, rubbing her nose in it and enjoying the warm feeling it gave her.
"Ahh, so soft," she muttered drowsily.
The cat twitched, its paw gently batting her cheek, as it pawed at an elusive dreamy prey.
She giggled once more and pulled away from her guest. Reaching out to him, she delicately traced the dark spots on his fur, admiring the exotic look it gave him.
He twitched again, this time wriggling around to face away from her. Her smile widened as she gently placed her ear on his stomach.
Greeted by a loud pleasing thrumming sound, a tender mix of heartbeat and purr, she sighed happily, relaxing once more in the coziness of her pearl-white comforter.
Smooth and clear notes wafted in to the master bedroom, blending into a peaceful melody. It floated around her, encompassing her whole being.
The sunbeams seemed to sway gently with the tune, gradually gaining a golden color as they swept across the cool marble flooring. White doves rose with each note, stretching their wings and casting loose feathers here and there in a large white flurry.
She sighed dreamily before rising slowly off the bed and into the next room, the music room.
"Good morning," she called from the doorway.
Strong tanned hands twitched slightly, before returning to their lithe movements across the grand piano. A smiled tugged at the owner's lips as he closed his eyes.
"Don't ruin the mood," he remarked, the smiled widening as he spoke.
She frowned playfully as she made her way to the bench, running her fingers along the smooth dark wood before placing herself on his right.
The now golden sun was perched in its place in the sky, bathing the couple in its warmth. The light set the room a glow, the white marble of the house shining brightly as a soft breeze blew in rustling the pale blue curtains.
Haru stared out at the open doors leading to the veranda, enjoying the light breeze across her face, transferring to her the scent of the forest, fresh pine and sturdy oak. Strong arms wrapped around her as the piece ended. He leaned over to kiss her cheek before following her gaze to the newly awoken forest just beyond their house.
"Buongiorno il mio amore."

A/N: God, I love my cat X3 so I hoped you liked this one, it's not so sad. ^^; Though I have noticed that I have a tendency to leave out the character's names when I write drabbles, is that bad?
* Buongiorno il mio amore means "Good morning my love," as translated by Babel.
