Am I ever going to post these at a decent hour?
I've actually had the beginning of this written for a long time (less than a year is a long time now guys) and was actually going to use it for two different beginnings of chapters of the main story (which still isn't written my god when am I going to do that?) before I decided to use it for this.
Sleeping in is nice and I swear if I don't sleep in this weekend there will be hell to pay.
Day Eight: Sleeping in
Saguru stirred, head still filled with dreams. He reached over to his phone to turn off the set alarm- or tried to, anyway. He couldn't really move his right arm. Or his leg for that matter. And his chest had some sort of weight on it. He opened his eyes and stared groggily at the blonde girl at his side, the sole reason for his predicament.
She was lying on his arm with hers set between them, lightly gripping his shirt. Her leg was between his, and her foot moved against his calf when she shifted. He turned and fumbled to turn off his alarm with his left hand. Then, he slowly started to untangle himself from her and the sheets.
Not slowly enough. Tired blue eyes peered through thick lashes to stare at him, seeing but unseeing at the same time. "Saguru," she murmured.
"Yes?" He asked, stopping immediately in his movements.
"Why are you getting up?" She yawned.
He was confused. "Why wouldn't I get up? I have work to do."
"You don't have to work today- it's Saturday. The glorious weekend has arrived." She said, tightening her grip on his shirt.
That's right, he realized. He must have lost track of the days this week while working on that case. He doesn't have to get up early if he doesn't want to. But on the other hand...
"I still have work that needs to be finished." He said, gently pulling her hand off his shirt. "I have to get it done."
"Work on it later," She said, trying to pull him back into bed with her other hand. "C'mon, neither of us has to get up super early today. We can make today a lazy day."
"I thought those were reserved for Sundays." He tried to make it into a teasing tone but failed in his tired state. He yawned.
"You can feel whether or not a day will be a lazy day; today is a lazy day." She gave another tug on his shirt. "Saguru, please?"
He sighed and scooted her over to lay back down. Taylor let out a pleased sound and buried her face in his side. He put his arm back down against her waist. "See?" She sighed. "Now all you have to do is go back to sleep."
"It's hard to do so when you're still talking." He said tiredly. She yawned again.
"I can't help it. You woke me up and got me talking." She moved so her head was in a more comfortable position against him, her calves moving against his as she shifted. "Now I need to talk."
"At six am."
She propped her chin on his arm, which was very uncomfortable for him. He told her that as he moved her but she still continued on as if he didn't do anything. "You get up at six? I always thought you got up later."
"You get up at six thirty. I'm always up before you, remember?" There was silence. "Taylor?"
"I remember." She said, smiling. "See? All of this sleep I didn't get is messing with my head."
"Then go back to sleep." He yawned again. The bed was really comfortable; he wondered why it didn't feel like this six hours ago. He shifted his position and Taylor let out a groggy groan.
"I just said that I can't. I have to talk now because my mind is running too fast for me to fall asleep again. Jeez, you're an idiot when you just wake up." Saguru didn't say anything. In fact, his mind wasn't even in the same universe as hers. Mostly because she was still talking and he was pretty sure that she didn't even know what she was talking about at this point. He wasn't really listening either, for that matter. "Is that why you always wake up so early? I always thought it was to style your hair, but is it because you have time to get your mind working so you can sound smart for me? 'Cause that's really sweet."
Saguru's eyes were drooping. "Taylor," he breathed. Taylor looked up and she stared into eyes that were just as tired as his own. He leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss and watching her eyes close. "Stop talking and go to sleep."
"Mmkay." She murmured, resting her head back down. Saguru closed his eyes and made a mental note to never, ever, wake her up early on a weekend ever again.
So I read over these prompts all the time (cause I like them a lot so I enjoy reading them) and I don't catch any of the mistakes until I'm copying them down on , which makes me wonder how tired I was to have so many mistakes in this. Not my biggest edit so far, though, which goes to... day two. Maybe day four. I'm not sure, I change a lot when I copy it down. Think of it like an essay where you make your corrections and turn in your final copy after you revise your rough draft.
I have two prompts that involve Saguru waking up and one that's a lazy day. (Sleeping is nice, ya'll.) And you know what? I totally accept sleeping in. Sleep in, my dear detective. It's late (cause I upload these late... but it's still day eight technically for another half an hour ) and I just finished my first week back at school after winter break... I need to sleep. Nighty night~
I kept yawning every time I wrote the word yawn... and all the words with 'z' in it I had to keep retyping because I couldn't manage to type it properly. I really need to sleep.
