It was Monday morning and you could hear birds chirping, you could see the light breeze blowing the leaves around, if you took a deep breath you could smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The sun was shining into a medium-sized apartment that also had the aroma of fresh coffee, but with bacon to top it off with. The window was opened letting the breeze blow the curtains around and the sound of the morning news came into the bedroom ... And you could also see a hand shooting out from under the covers in and pushing the alarm clock onto the floor, followed by a loud "Dammit".

"Morning, babe!"
Axel groaned as he snuggled deeper into the bed. He wasn't a morning person. Actually, Axel wasn't really an any time person on the weekdays. Monday through Friday Axel wasn't a seven to five person, but after five his mood lifted, and on weekends he was much happier to wake up ... although he normally woke up in the afternoon.

Axel lifted his head and listened to his boyfriend humming. How that man could be so cheerful in the morning was beyond Axel, but he was thankful for it. Sliding himself closer to the edge, Axel moved and sat up.
"Are you up?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm up."
"Up as in out of bed."
Yawning, Axel stood up from the bed and stretched, groaning at the feeling.
"Yeah, I'm out of bed."
Shuffling his way into the bathroom to empty his bladder, Axel sighed. It was Monday, and that meant he'd be doing this routine four more times.

Turning the shower on and taking his pajama bottoms off, Axel stepped into the warm water and looked at his feet, contemplating calling in sick to work. It was like a tradition. Every morning he'd stare at some part of his body and contemplate calling work and telling them he was sick and couldn't make it ... he never did it, but it was a nice thought.

Roxas laughed to himself and entered the bedroom. Leaning down and picking up the alarm clock and it's batteries, Roxas set it back onto the bedside table and knocked on the bathroom door.
"It's 8:15!"
Going over to their closet, Roxas opened it and took out his outfit for the day. His classes didn't start until one that afternoon, but he had a few things to do and pick up before then so he was going to catch a ride with Axel.

Roxas never really understood how people could be anything but cheerful in the morning. The minute he opened his eyes a smile would come to his face. He'd hop out of bed, go into the kitchen, flick on the coffee pot and head to the bathroom where he'd brush his teeth and shower while the coffee brewed. The minute he'd step out of the bathroom he'd smell the coffee and smile even bigger. Mornings were Roxas favourite, especially spring mornings.

Roxas finished getting dressed and walked back into the kitchen. Picking his coffee up, Roxas looked at the television.
"It's 8:28!"

It was the same every morning. After his shower he'd come back into the kitchen and make himself his coffee - one creamer and three sugars, pop in some bread and then he'd sit and watch the morning news to see if any roads were blocked off and if anything was happening while he ate his toast. He'd wait until he heard the familiar beeping of the alarm clock followed by a crash and some sort of curse word.

After the curse word, he'd make sure Axel was actually up and in the shower before he went into their bedroom and got dressed. He'd always knock on the bathroom door and tell Axel the time, knowing that Axel had a tendency to rest his head against the tile and shut his eyes- probably thinking about all the things he didn't want to do. Roxas didn't understand it, but he found it rather cute.

After that, he'd exit the bedroom and turn on cartoons and watch Spongebob until Axel came out. He'd always grin, kiss him and hand him a piece of toast. Most of his classes didn't start until the afternoon, but Roxas made sure he was awake before Axel, or he'd wake up at the same time, feeling that sleeping in until noon wouldn't be fair to Axel. That was saved for the weekends.

Shaking his head and smiling, Roxas looked to the bedroom door as it opened and watched as his boyfriend stepped out and walked to where he was sitting. Standing up, Roxas kissed Axel and handed him a piece of toast.
"Morning."
"Mhm."
Sitting back down with Axel beside him, Roxas watched Spongebob and glanced at Axel, who was in the middle of yawning.
"You're a cute morning person."

Looking up from his toast, Axel blinked at Roxas and raised his eyebrow. Standing up and getting himself a coffee, Axel shook his head and sat back down beside Roxas.

"You're a ... cheerful morning person. How?"
"Well, every day I get to wake up, which is awesome, and on top of that I get to wake up to you sleeping, which is even better."
Glancing at the sugar, Axel blinked and sipped his coffee.
"No sugar today?"
"Yeah right. If I added sugar on top of what you just said I'd end up with diabetes."
Axel smiled and leaned over to kiss Roxas, thankful that he had something to get out of bed for.
