He woke up when she rolled into him, tucking herself under his chin. Her feet wormed their way around his legs, tangling them together.
"Are you awake?" he asked, refusing up open his eyes.
Hilary wiggled closer. "No,"
"Oh,"
Moments later he felt her lips graze his neck, a gentle little peck he couldn't be sure she intended until she did it again.
Returning the affection, Kai bent to kiss her forehead. Instead of pulling away, he rested there. He could feel her fingers running up and down his back.
"I'd hate to make this about me," his lips brushing against her as he spoke, "but I need to go to the bathroom,"
She gripped him tighter. "No,"
"Okay," he chuckled.
She kissed where his collar bone met his shoulder. "You smell good in the morning,"
For all her constant planning and thinking three steps ahead, her morning thoughts were surprisingly deconstructed and loose.
Taking advantage, Kai leaned closer to her ear, moving her soft brown hair out of the way. "What's your favorite thing about me?"
She didn't answer for a moment. And then, softly. "You're very pretty,"
Kai's eyes popped open. He moved away from her to see, betting that he'd find her sly smile, but her eyes were still closed, mouth slightly opened.
"Pretty?" he whispered. Laughing to himself, he placed another kiss on her temple. He let himself get comfortable, relishing in the warmth she offered.
So super short, I know. I wanted to expand it BUT I honestly love this moment and couldn't mess with it.
The next update is tomorrow. It's much longer and progresses the story, so I hope that makes up for it.
I hope all is well with all of you. Thanks for reading - Konix
