Lea was by no means a light sleeper.
Usually he would sleep soundly through the whole night and maybe half of the day, if someone wouldn't wake him up.
This night, however, something roused him out of his slumber.
At first, he just felt warm, feather-light touches along his face. It caused him to feel so relaxed, he almost fell asleep again. But then they stopped their caressing and instead lips were pressed against his in a sweet, but short kiss.
Far too short for his liking.
Before the lips could move too far away, he sluggishly pushed himself up and followed them with his own. When they meet again in a kiss, he hear a surprised, but muffled squeak that made him chuckle into the kiss.
"You kissed your sleeping Beauty awake," he said with an amused voice, after he parted again. His eyes slowly adjusted a bit to the darkness of the night and he could see Akira's profile sitting beside him.
"Dork," she muttered with a snort and shook her head.
He felt her hand touching his upper arm, her thumb gently stroking it.
"Sorry. I…didn't mean to wake you up."
"'s fine," he yawned. "Can imagine worse things to wake up to. Wonder how I get to that honor to this late hour, tho."
After shilly-shallying around for a moment, she just shrugged.
"Just…felt like it," she said in her usual sheepish manner, making him smile and nod with a hum.
"Very valid reason."
He wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her closer and nuzzled his nose into her hair. Immediately she snuggled against his side.
"Just do it whenever you feel like it again. Don't mind it at all." He kissed her forehead. "Very much the opposite actually."
While Akira didn't left his embrace, she leant back a bit to look at his face. At least he was sure she tried to. It was dark after all.
Before he could comment on that, her arms wrapped around his neck and her lips were against his again, catching him by surprise. But just a moment later, both his arms hugged her flat against him and answered her loving kisses with his own.
When they became more and more lazy with their kisses, Akira gently pushed him back and Lea let himself slowly fall back into the bed. He kept his arms around her when they parted and she made it herself comfortable on his chest.
They both sighed in contentment, while Lea started to gently stroke through Akira's hair.
"Just like a dream," he murmured, already getting sleepy again. Akira hummed in agreement.
"Yeah. I hope we will never wake up from it."
