Morning Sunshine
Inspired by a discussion on tumblr :)
…
It was quiet and still. A gentle light filtered through the curtains, its rays blanketing the sleeping pair on the bed.
Fang woke first, humming as she stretched the sleep out of her muscles. Sighing, she relaxed and tucked a hand under her head. Glancing over the sleeping form next to her, she stared lazily at the light peaking through the curtains.
Then she brought her eyes down to the one occupying the other pillow.
Lightning wasn't far. Easily within reach. She lay on her side, facing inward. Her face was relaxed and softened, lips slightly parted. As quiet as it was, Fang could hear her slow, steady breathing.
She reached out and lay her palm on Lightning's arm, rubbing gently, brushing over the soft skin with a thumb.
Lightning shifted a fraction closer.
Fang felt her lips tip up at the edges. The sheets rustled as she moved closer to lie just an inch away. She could touch her toes to Lightning's shins.
She lay there for a bit longer, glancing to the window at times, content just to touch her. To offer warmth and closeness while Lightning rested.
Eventually, Lightning's breathing pattern changed, and Fang sensed she was about to wake.
She cupped the side of Lightning's face and brushed their lips together. Lightning sighed, still mostly asleep, as Fang's mouth encompassed hers.
Automatically leaning into the kiss, Lightning's eyes finally opened.
"Morning, sunshine," Fang whispered against her lips before pulling away.
Clear, half-lidded blue eyes observed her, stirring her heart like they always had. Still cradling her cheek, Fang grazed a finger over her lips, feeling the texture against the pad of her thumb.
Lightning's features relaxed into a smile. Tired fingertips touched Fang's chin and jaw.
"Morning."
