Part B - First Moments Of The Morning - Matt
Matt loved the way that the first remnants of the sun rise would filter through the sheer curtains and bathe the room in a golden glow but what he loved the most was the way the sun would lay across Kelly giving his skin a golden glow. He would lay on his side with his head propped up on his elbow, and facing the man he loved while he watched as the sun crept over him until he would lift his arm up and let it rest on his face to cover his eyes. These first moments of the day at times felt surreal considering all that they had been though in years past but now these first moments of the day had easily become some of his favourite memories, and some of the ones that he looked forward to the most.
He loved watching as Kelly rolled onto his side so that he was facing him, and his hand blindly reached for Matt who instantly reached his own hand out to take his before he opened his eyes and smiled. Some mornings there was nothing said for a while, and other mornings a greeting came almost as soon as his eyes were fully open, and Matt had never figured out how to tell what each morning would be.
"Mornin'" Kelly whispered as he entwined their fingers together and bought Matt's hand to his lips laying a soft kiss on his knuckles which made him smile.
"Morning honey." He loved the sound of Kelly's voice first thing in the morning when it was still thick and tinged with sleep. He loved everything about mornings like this when they got to enjoy each other and there was no rush, from the way Kelly clasped his hand and held it firmly as he often pressed Matt's hand against his chest so it was right over his heart once he had kissed his knuckles to the sleepiness that still lingered over Kelly.
"We really need to get blackout curtains." Kelly said, the comment was one that had been verbalised before, although he already knew that Matt would disagree and he knew why.
"No we don't." Matt answered just as he always did as he smiled down at Kelly.
"Maybe I'll just have to lay on your side with you." Kelly proposed as Matt shrugged in indifference as the idea wasn't one he would ever oppose as he loved the feeling of their bodies pressed together skin on skin.
"Never going to argue against that." Matt replied as he shifted closer so that they were side by side facing each other.
"I love you." Kelly whispered as if it was a secret for only Matt to hear.
"I love you too." Matt whispered back as he basked in the elation of those words every time he heard them. "It's still early, we can get a few more hours of sleep." Kelly still looked exhausted so a few more hours would do him some good, at least that was Matt's way of thinking.
"Hmmm... as long as you stay." Kelly found it hard to sleep without Matt next to him although he kept that little fact to himself usually as he didn't want Matt to feel obligated to stay beside him just so he could sleep when they were at home in private.
"I'm not going anywhere." Both men knew the greater meaning behind those words as they settled down again as Kelly gave Matt's hand that was still pressed over his heart a gentle squeeze..
Matt watched as Kelly let his eyes close as his body relaxed until he was sleeping soundly. Truthfully Matt couldn't think of anywhere else he would rather be in the first moments of the morning.
