POV-BB

When I woke up, I was severely hung-over and about ready to discard the Chinese food I had consumed hours earlier. As I opened my eyes groggily, purple and grey came in to my immediate view. Holy shit, I slept with Rae! No, no, I would have remembered something that amazing. I must have just fallen asleep, holding her, in nothing but my boxers…yeah… In all of my stirring I woke up Raven. She sleepily turned in to face me before realizing the situation and who she was in it with.

Oh shit, did I sleep with Garfield? No, I would most defiantly have remembered that. What do I do now? I should probably jump away in an embarrassed panic. Actually, no. You know what? Fuck it. I'm sick of trying to control and conceal my feelings for Garfield. If I want to cuddle him, and he's willing, I damn well will. I turned to face Garfield and gave him a big drowsy smile.

"Morning" I said in yawn form. He still seemed unsure about what to do, but he gave a smile back after a few seconds of deliberation, "Good morning".

I closed my eyes again and snuggled in closer to Garfield's bare chest. Which as I did, I noted it's wonderfully sculpted nature. At this his smile grew wider and he pulled me in with his arms.

I felt so safe, so balanced, I just felt happy. Which I had felt very rarely in my life, considering who and what I was, and who and where I came from. But none of those things mattered with Garfield.

This was amazing! I had never dreamed (well actually I had every night for about two years) that I would be embracing a willing Raven. Even in my dreams it didn't feel half this wonderful, I nearly forgot how hung-over I was. Nearly, but not quite.

Raven pulled her head away to meet my eyes with her dark grey pools.

"What does this mean?" I wasn't really sure. Ultimately I hoped it meant there would be Rarfields and Gravens, and growing old, but it might be a little soon to spring that on her. "I don't know, I know what I want it to mean, but that might not be what you want…what do you want this to mean?"

Raven studied my face carefully, gauging whether or not I could handle her response, "I want it to mean I can wake up like this every morning." She quickly recoiled, realizing she had revealed her feelings to someone. I lifted her face to meet mine once more, "My schedule is wide open until I meet my maker. So you've got until then, does that sound like enough time to you?" She gave a small laugh before bringing me into a rather long and passionate kiss.

As I pulled away from Garfield's mouth, my eyes fluttered open to be met by a goofy grin. Then I noted that, despite his smile, he wasn't looking particularly healthy. "Garfield, I don't want to ruin this amazing moment or anything, but you look kind of green."

"Yeah, I'm kind of a little bit hung-over. I need some shitty food and coffee as soon as beastily possible." I hurriedly got out of bed and went to the kitchen. I turned on the coffee pot, got the Chinese food out of the refrigerator, and found some Advil.

"What would I do without you Rae? You are a life saver, I owe you big time." I immediately regretted this statement as Raven got a wicked grin on her face.
