Cosette woke up the next morning in Marius' arms, on the couch where they had fallen asleep. She carefully removed his arms, getting up quietly to go make breakfast before he woke up.
She stood in the kitchen, quietly humming as she stirred a bowl of pancake mix before carefully pouring some of it out into a pan. As she set the bowl back on the counter, she felt a hand on each of her shoulders, she turned and smiled when she saw her husband standing there, smiling at her.
Marius wrapped his arms around her waist, glancing past her to the stove. "You're making breakfast?"
Cosette laughed, turning back to the pancakes. "It was supposed to be a surprise." She stroked a hand through his wild hair before pressing a kiss to his lips, pulling herself closer to him.
Marius returned the kiss and smiled as he did, loving every moment of it.
And Cosette didn't mind that their breakfast was burning behind her, this was worth it.
