December 16th – Bells
'Are you kidding me,' Kuvira groaned loudly as she was brutally awakened by the sound of bells ringing obnoxiously in the distance.
Lin's arm, which she had carelessly flung across Kuvira's stomach in her slumber, suddenly tightened around her waist, and she shuffled closer, burying her face into the younger woman's naked back, responding to her groans with some of her own.
'I know,' she grumbled. 'You'd think they would give us a chance to sleep in on Christmas morning, but no.'
'What even possessed you to get an apartment so close to a church in the first place,' Kuvira complained, stealing Lin's pillow from under her head to press it against her face and ears.
'The view,' Lin answered in such a tone Kuvira couldn't tell whether she was joking or truly sheepish.
'How long does it last?'
'About an hour, I think.'
'You've got to be joking,' Kuvira cried, rolling around until she was lying on her stomach.
Not bothering to answer, Lin threw the thick duvet over both their heads and nuzzled closer to Kuvira.
'Now that we're both awake, though,' she ventured, wiggling her eyebrows slightly, 'why don't we try to find a way to make this morning more enjoyable?'
