The Morning After


Lucy curled into Gray's body. The blankets and sheets slipped and shifted, exposing her and Gray's entwined legs. Her hand settled on his muscular chest as she watched it rhythmically move slowly up and down, signaling he was still asleep.

The celestial mage moved once more, but this time atop Gray's firm body. Her ear pressed to his muscular chest, listening to the lull of his beating heart. Lucy sighed, lazily drawing circles on her boyfriend's chest. Feeling somewhat adventurous, her delicate hands moved to Gray's jawline, gently stroking his face with a ghost-like caress.

Lucy softly giggled as Gray's face twitched cutely. She continued her teasing until his eyes fluttered open to blearily connect with hers.

"Good morning," she whispered softly.

Gray smiled sleepily, twirling a strand of her hair before cupping her cheek. She held his hand to her face and leaned down, sweetly kissing him. He happily responded, tracing his hand from her cheek down to the small of her back.

"Good morning to you too," he chuckled. "I could get used to waking up like this."

Lucy giggled. "Me too."
