Russell mumbled tiredly into soft, purple fur. He slowly opened his eyes to see that he was in Zoe's dog bed, sleeping against her. He slowly sat up and watched her as she slept peacefully. Russell's quills horripilate as Zoe moaned in her sleep. She tossed around until she faced where Russell sat.
The hedgehog's fur heated up as he contemplated whether to kiss her. Before he knew it, he leaned in as if it was instinct; however, as he neared her cheek, he stopped. Maybe he shouldn't… Zoe might not want to be woken up, but she does like romantic things. And waking up to a kiss is romantic, right? Rocking back and forth on the bed, Russell's mind did the same.
Until he heard a rustling, and looked back at Zoe again- who stared at him with a growing smirk. "Well, if you won't do it, I will."
Before the hedgehog knew what was happening, the dog stretched up to kiss his cheek. Russell realized his lips were still puckered as Zoe pulled away. His eyelids lowered and a dopey smile stretched across his face. He sighed sweetly, "Good morning to you too, Zoe."
