Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
Day 6. Domestic Life
The early morning sun shines in Felix's eyes is what wakes him up and serves to remind him that Sylvain once again forgot to close the curtains before coming to bed. He groans, and turns over to nuzzle against Sylvain's neck, pulling the blanket over his head, trying to block out the sun.
"Mmmm... good morning, Felix," Sylvain yawns as the movement wakes him up.
"Not good," Felix mumbles, burrowing further into the blanket. "You forgot to close the curtains again."
"Oops," is all Sylvain says to that. "Sorry." The effectiveness of the apology is increased by the kiss he plants on the top of Felix's head.
"Whatever," Felix mutters, before turning his head just enough to look at the time. "You should be getting up anyway," he says, remembering looking at Sylvain's calendar in the evening. "You promised to be signing some paperwork at seven thirty."
Now it's Sylvain's turn to groan and curl up around Felix.
"I hate early morning appointments," he grumbles. "Why do I keep making them?"
"Because you always want to schedule them as soon as possible, to get them out of the way," Felix reminds him. "At least, that's what you said when I last asked you about it." He waits a few moments before adding "You also have two meetings with some lords and an hour of training scheduled. And also a dinner meeting with Dimitri."
"Why do you let me make all these appointments on the same day?" Sylvain almost whines as he starts disentangling himself from Felix, probably realizing he really needs to get up to make it in time.
"I wasn't even there when you made them," Felix replies, curling up in the warm spot Sylvain left behind. "Besides, you're an adult. Manage your own damn schedule." Felix has done a good job of managing his. Despite having many responsibilities, he's done his best to not have too much on the same day, and today the only thing he has on the schedule is training with new recruits and dinner with Ingrid and Dorothea.
"Well," Sylvain says, fully dressed in just a few minutes, and getting ready to leave. "See you at dinner, then." He bends down to give Felix a brief kiss. "Love you!"
"Love you too," Felix says, just in time for Sylvain to hear it before he's out the door.
***Later that evening***
After a very long day of too many scheduled meetings, Sylvain is just ready to come home and go to bed. He walks straight form the door to the bathroom, quickly getting cleaned up and changing to his sleepwear.
When he gets to the bedroom, he's not the slightest bit surprised to see Felix already in bed, leaning against the headboard while reading some book. A single candle is lit beside the bed, casting a warm light over him. He looks up when he notices Sylvain in the doorway.
"You're late," is all se says as he puts a bookmark in place and puts the book down. Despite the words, his tone is all Sylvain needs to hear to know what he's really saying, and it's all the invitation he needs to climb into bed and pull Felix into a slow, gentle kiss, which is quickly reciprocated. Sylvain moves to lay on top of Felix, almost completely covering his body with his own.
When they pull apart a minute later, Felix's hands are in his hair, and both of them are out of breath.
"Sorry," he says as an answer to Felix's earlier statement. "I was planning on being back earlier, but that dinner with Dimitri took longer than expected." He presses a quick kiss to Felix's forehead as an apology. "Did you have fun beating up the new recruits?" he asks in turn, curious to hear about Felix's day.
"It was okay," Felix replies, shrugging. "They're doing better." But still not good enough to give him even a little bit of a challenge, is what's left unsaid. Sylvain grins at that. Felix is sometimes too amazing for his own good.
"Hmmm," Sylvain just hums in response, pulling Felix up into another, deeper kiss. After they eventually part, they simply lay there for a bit, petting each other's hair and faces, getting in a few little kisses in between, as both of them are too tired for anything more. Or, at least Sylvain is.
Eventually, he gets off Felix and curls around him, as they both fall asleep.
