Maki loves those rare times when she's the first to wake in the morning. She loves slowly blinking the sleep from her eyes and slowly adjusting to the soft sunlight brightening the bedroom and warm weight hugged tight to her body.
Maki loves how in Nico's sleep, all traces of melodrama and playfulness fade from her countenance, leaving her calm and restful. She's so beautiful, Maki still can't believe how lucky she is to have the opportunity to see this side of her girlfriend. Maki loves how well Nico's body fits against her own, like it was sculpted to fill her empty spaces. If she has a free arm not trapped by Nico's slumbering body, she likes to run a hand gently down Nico's back, tracing the dip of her spine and giggling softly when she elicits soft sounds from the other.
If Nico's separate from her and Maki's free to move, once she's drunk her fill of admiring Nico she likes to be a little more mischievous in her endeavours. Starting from Nico's collar, she likes to pepper light kisses all over her, showering her in the love that Nico is sure to return in her usual energetic manner during the day. During these times, if Nico doesn't awaken by the time Maki reaches her knees she draws back up to her face, placing light pecks over Nico's closed eyelids followed swiftly by a pair on her cheeks and finally, her lips.
Sometimes Nico will open her eyes at this point and cheekily whisper in a voice still heavy with sleep, "I was awake the whole time."
Maki would respond by blushing a light red, but would be sure to get the last say after struggling past her embarrassment, "I knew you were awake," mumbled as she dips her head down for their customary good morning kiss.
Maki loves waking up to Nico in the morning. It's during these sleepy mornings that seem to hang in their own separate blanket of time and space where she is able to completely indulge in and explore every facet of the love she has for Nico.
Sometimes Maki feels so full of love that she thinks she'll explode, thinks that it's impossible for one person to feel so much love in their heart and soul, thinks it'll take an eternity of mornings and nights and the hours in between to convey to Nico precisely how much she loves her. Sometimes Maki thinks, and sometimes she doesn't.
Eyes still closed yet instinctively knowing Nico is awake, Maki mumbles into the other's hair, "I love you, Nico-chan."
The reply is instantaneous, "I love you too, Maki."
a/n: I honestly think maki is the type to sleep like a log but when she does wake first, it's always at 7am or something and she slowly burns out of energy during the day whilst by the time she's a puddle of goo, nico's bouncing from the walls and bringing her coffee and putting sticky lip gloss kisses all over her ...
