Keep sleeping, it's too early

He yawns soundlessly as he sits on the bed's edge. He just woke up, but his mind is already clear and listing everything he has to do this morning. Take out the trash, prepare breakfast, wash the curtains…
He looks behind him, curious to feel something—someone—patting his side of the bed. She's still sleeping, but she's frowning and her hands keeps searching for something—someone—him.
He takes her hand and leans closer to her.
"Shinobu?" He whispers. "It's morning. Wake up."
She lets out a groan before finally opening her eyes. She squints, her eyes still clouded with sleepiness.
"… What?" She manages to articulate. "What time is it? ..."
"Seven o'clock."
It takes her a moment to react.
"What? Giyū-san, it's too early. I'm returning to sleep. Wake me up in a couple of hours."
"Shinobu…" He tries to reason with her, but she doesn't give him the opportunity to.
"Shut up. It's early and I want to keep sleeping, so come back now." She mumbles as she pulls him back to bed.
She's absolutely not physically strong, much less in the morning when she just wakes up, but he puts no resistance to the small hand grabbing his shirt tightly and just let himself be pulled back to bed. And to be sure he won't try to sneak away, she decides to rest her head on his chest, grabbing him into a hug. The satisfied hum in the end lets him know she's smiling.
He blinks. Did his wife just pulled him back to bed because she wanted to keep sleeping? Yes, she did, and he thinks it's not a bad thing after all.
So, he hugs her back, finds for her a better position to sleep and closes his eyes, letting himself drift in a light slumber.
The world can wait. For now, they're going to sleep a little longer.

~A few notes about this chapter:~
■ Modern AU, married couple.
■ If Shinobu tells you to go back to bed with her... you go back to bed with her. That's non-negotiable.
Until next time uwu
