Monday mornings, or more accurately, Monday mornings without school, were all about lounging in bed, cuddling, and absolutely no need to get up. Half hooded eyes and lazy thoughts, and those little dust particles that float in the sunshine beaming in from between the blinds. Yup. That's what Monday mornings were all about.
Peter rested his head on Jason's bare chest, his fingers tickling up and down his arm softly as he gazed out the window, watching the snowflakes dance and pile up one on top of the other. He absolutely loved winter. It was his favorite season, with snow days, and winter break, Christmas, Ice skating, and carols. It was the best time of year, all around. He was just waiting until there was enough snow to go sledding! He already had just about the whole group ready to go with him. Everyone except Jason, that is. But he had other ways to convince Jason to go if it came right down to it.
He snuggled closer to Jason, kissing up his chest to wake him up gently, smiling lightly as Jason's eyelashes fluttered, letting out a sleepy moan. "Jase?" He was just answered with another moan. "Jase? It's snowing!" His voice was still soft, but excited enough to make Jason stir a bit.
Jason lifted his arm around Peter's waist, hugging him closer. "I know that."
"It's magical huh?"
"The snow?"
Peter nodded, his eyes still gazing out the window, smiling at the snow covered hills around the school. "Mmhmm. God I love the winter."
Jason's eyes remained closed. "It's just cold."
"Well sure, but that makes for better cuddling, especially with the blankets already warm." Peter lifted the blankets up over his and Jason's heads, laughing as Jason finally opened his eyes, the twinkle in them suddenly wide awake.
Jason propped himself up on his elbows, looking Peter over, a look that used to make Peter want to shrink back. He never liked being too closely examined, but with Jason, it was almost a compliment, very 'I only have eyes for you'. Jason wasn't the best with expressing himself, but when he was looking at Peter like this, Peter just knew what he meant. "I love you." He leaned forward, kissing Jason on the tip of his nose, and leaned away again with a laugh.
A wide smile spread on Jason's face as he looked over Peter again, just for another moment, his smile matching Peter's before he wrapped his arms again around his boyfriend, turning onto his side so they were pressed flush against one another, Jason pulling Peter into a soft, slow kiss.
Peter's arms linked up around Jason neck, smiling into the kiss, holding it out until he had to breathe. When they finally broke apart, they rested their foreheads against one another's, giving each other little kisses while they caught their breath, living in the only space they required to be happy. Jason gave Peter one more small kiss, finally answering Peter's proclamation. "Always."
