As the sun shone in through his bedroom window, and onto his manly eyelids, Elfman Strauss was ripped from his slumber, back into reality. The muscular man squinted, moving one arm lazily over his face, hoping to block out the sun for just one more hour. He reached for the curtain, hoping to rid himself of the source of light by covering it completely, when a groan came from his side, sleepily protesting his shift of weight on the mattress.

Elfman looked to his right, to see Evergreen snuggled tightly against his ribs, her head resting on his shoulder and fingers slipping unconsciously down his abs. He breathed out a sigh, and returned to his former position. The fairy mage readjusted her head to his form, but did not emerge from her sleep.

Elfman watched the young woman, dwarfed by him in size, as she slept softly under her blankets. He traced his fingers up her cheek, and then around her ear, slipping some loose hairs behind it. Then, much to her displeasure, he shifted his weight again and lowered his face to hers, before placing a soft kiss upon her lips.

Evergreen groaned, and pulled her head away. "I'm trying to sleep here… you stupid lug…" She shuffled down and then bopped him under the chin with the top of her head, which, he was sure, could have been a jaw-breaking attack if she weren't still half asleep.

Elfman chucked softly, and repositioned himself to his side. Evergreen cuddled close again, her head under his chin and resting on a pillow this time, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

The fairy mage's beauty sleep was once again interrupted as Elfman kissed her softly on the forehead, then the nose (which elicited a tiny squeak from the small mage), and then on her lips again.

"Elf…" She groaned, "I said I'm trying to—ah!" Evergreen's protest was interrupted as Elfman softly groped her butt. His free hand ran up her back and pushed her face closer to his, before he brought her into a deepened kiss. He nibbled tenderly upon her bottom lip, before she allowed his tongue entrance to her mouth, and she gave in to the man's desires.

When morning had fully bloomed, Evergreen stood in the same room, pulling her favorite green dress on over her head. Elfman stood on the opposite side of the bed, closer to the window, as he pulled his pants on over his hips.

"Elf." Ever called from him, using his nickname that she refused to as much as whisper unless they were alone. "Come zip me up."

Elfman sighed. That was how she asked for favors. She never used please, because she always got her way, so there was no need. He obliged to her request though, and treaded up behind her, before taking the tiny zipper in his hand and running it up her back. Once he was done, he pulled the hair from around her shoulders behind her, and softly petted it into place.

Evergreen turned around and gave him a smile. "My glasses?" she requested. Elfman smiled with his sigh this time, and reached over to the night stand, lightly picking up he spectacles, before opening them and slipping them onto her face, which he lowered his own to slowly.

Elfman could see the young woman smile softly, in anticipation of another kiss, but knew she was trying to play it off, so he stopped right before her lips, and whispered. "Ever?"

"Yes, Elf?" She responded, not moving from her position at all.

"Kiss me."

Evergreen's face turned two of three shades of pink, before she stumbled back against the bedroom wall. "What are you talking about?" She scoffed, "We've been kissing all morning. Aren't you sick of it yet?" There it was again, a certain dishonestly she sported when she was embarrassed.

"Yeah but, I'm always kissing Ever." Elfman explained, stepping closer to her again, before placing an arm above her head and leaning down towards her again. "Ever never kisses me."

He watched her gulp softly, and worried that he might be intimidating her more than he had planned. His worrying stopped as she reached up, running a hand over his cheek and fingers through his hair. He watched her soft eyes gaze upon him, before they turned fierce as she grabbed a tuft of his hair and yanked his lips down onto hers.

She took little time to force her tongue in and Elfman gave out a groan, before leaning in to deepen the kiss. Evergreen reached up over his head and wrapped her arms around his neck. She turned her face; their teeth clacked together, their lips interlocked for what seemed eternity.

When Evergreen finally pulled away from him, Elfman caught a quick glimpse of a glare in her eye, along with a pink stain on her cheeks. She didn't seem half as breathless as she had left him.

"There. Hope you're happy, stupid." She grouched, and turned away as she sauntered out the bedroom. As Elfman watched her disappear through the doorway in his daze, he was sure he heard a light chuckle escape the fairy mage's lips.
