Bed Head

For a certain couple, their days always starts with the blaring of their alarm clock right when it hits six o'clock in the morning. An arm poked out of the blankets to reach behind him to the alarm clock that sat innocently on a nightstand. After clicking it off, a sigh escaped from a pair of lips as eyes opened to reveal mismatched orbs of red and gold. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes, his gaze trailed down to the person snuggled against his chest within his arms. Tightening his arms around his beloved, he buried his nose in the soft teal locks, pressing a gentle kiss against his skull.

"Time to wake up, Tetsuya."

Eyes slowly opening, a pair of cyan eyes looked up and met Akashi's mismatched ones.

"Good Morning, Tetsuya."

"Good Morning, A-Seijuuro-kun."

Cracking a smile, Akashi chuckled. "Looks like you're finally getting the hang of saying my name."

"Only because Seijuuro-kun insists that I say his name."

"Of course. After all, we have been lovers for quite a few years now."

Moving to get up, the red head paused when he felt hands arms wrap around his midsection. He looked down at his lover questionably. His eyes softened as he met a pair of eyes pleading him to just stay in bed for a while longer. Understanding that the other didn't want to get out of bed, he sighed. "I know, Tetsuya. I would love to stay in bed too. Unfortunately, we have classes to attend. We don't want to be late now, do we?"

Slightly pouting, Kuroko reluctantly drew his arms away from his lover and sat up, stretching and yawning. He looked to Akashi when he felt a warm hand running through his hair.

"You're bed head is as atrocious as ever. Get up and freshen yourself up. I'll fix it for you...as always."

Nodding and sleepily yawning, Kuroko followed Akashi out of bed and into their shared bathroom. They both stared off with brushing their teeth, the teal head taking his time while the red head finished quickly, along with washing his face so that he can get to work on his Tetsuya's adorable bed head.

He stood behind Kuroko as he took out a brush and started brushing his air, running his fingers through the soft locks. He ran the brush multiple times through Kuroko's hair, paying extra attention to the random cowlicks that adorned the teal hair.

After a good five minutes, he was finally done, with Kuroko rinsing his mouth of the toothpaste. Turning around to face Akashi, he hugged him. "Thank you, Seijuuro-kun."

"Of course, Tetsuya." He smiled, lightly patting his hair. Pulling away from each other, they set on changing their clothes to their casual attire, all the mean while with Akashi stealing a glance at his beloved as they changed. He shook his head as he reminded himself that he can't let himself get carried away no matter how delicious his Tetsuya looked.

Finishing first, Akashi walked out of their room and to the kitchen to get started on making their breakfast. He made the standard Japanese breakfast of white rice, miso soup, Japanese styled pickles, grilled fish, served with Japanese green tea.

Kuroko walked in to the kitchen with Nigou following, admiring the food that was being set on the table. Grabbing Nigou's bowl and pet food, he poured the food in Nigou's bowl, who eagerly began to eat. Patting his pet, he stood and sat down as the couple dug into their breakfast.

Breakfast was always peaceful and silent for them, with the occasional talk about the day's weather and their classes for the day. Mentions of their friends would pop up every now and then, with a certain former model not failing to text the both of them a 'Good Morning~! (*＾▽＾)／' every day.

Eventually finishing their breakfast and grabbing Nigou's now empty bowl, Kuroko set to washing the dishes while Akashi moved to get their things ready.

After all that done, Kuroko bent down to pat Nigou on the head, the husky never failing to see of his masters every day.

"Be a good boy, okay?" And Nigou would bark in understanding with his tail wagging behind him.

"Let's go, Tetsuya."

Nodding, the two made their way out of their humble home, closing the door and locking it.

Nigou stood from where he sat and ran over to the living, jumping on the couch and onto the window sill as he watched his masters walk off.

Wrote and finished this during my own morning ritual. :D
