It was soothing, lying beneath the weight of Hunter's arm. Listening to the radio filter through that lazy place between sleep and waking, where optimism flourished. The place where real life hadn't yet invaded.

"Rise and shine"

Shawn groaned and turned his back to Hunter's cheerfulness, buried his face beneath the pillow in protest.

"Five more minutes" he grunted into the mattress.

"No can do Shawnie, we have to be on the road by six"

"Five more minutes" repeated Shawn.

"Shawn"

He rived the pillow from his head and turned to face his lover.

"I said, five. more. minutes." he said

The anger was palpable. Hunter just laughed, he was used to Shawn's early morning tantrums.

He pressed lips gently against Shawn's, diffusing the oncoming storm.
