Anxiety groaned softly as she woke up, sitting up on her bed and checking the time.
5 a.m. which was when she tended to wake up most often nowadays.
Sometimes it was even earlier, but the others had been helpful with her getting more sleep, rest that she needed they would insist.
She got up, got dressed, did her hair and made her bed before heading out to get coffee.
The orange emotion quietly stepped out into the control room, glancing around to see if anyone happened to be awake yet.
No one was there and all the other doors were closed.
It was around when Riley turned 18 when the Headquarters received more big time renovations, which included all the emotions getting their own bedrooms.
They weren't big, even smaller than the dorm room Riley lived in, but they at least gave them privacy, something they all had grown to appreciate.
Anxiety headed to the kitchen and started up the coffee maker, cleaning some of the leftover dishes while she waited for the drink to be prepared.
Once she had her big mug of coffee and sugar, she headed back to the control room and sat on her armchair, taking a sip of the coffee while looking over her clipboard.
Around an hour later, Joy came out of her bedroom, smiling and looking ready for the day.
"Morning Anxie!" She greeted, giving her a bright smile before heading to the kitchen as well.
"Morning Joy." Anxiety replied, smiling back at the bright emotion.
Slowly, the others started waking up as well and came out to prepare for the day ahead.
Fear came just before 7, looking quite disheveled as he often did before his morning drink.
Anxiety paid it no mind when he simply shuffled to the kitchen, she'd gotten used to the routine a long time ago.
10 minutes later, she felt a soft kiss being placed on her cheek.
"Morning dear." Fear said, holding his cup close and looking much more awake than he had earlier.
"Morning honey." She replied, giving him a quick kiss back before the purple emotion headed off to get dressed.
Back when they first started doing this, Anxiety constantly got flustered by the attention and pet names, but by now it was just part of their normal day.
As usual, Ennui got up much later than the others, Riley was already in class by the time the indigo emotion made it out of bed.
"Morning mon amour." Anxiety greeted as Ennui made her way over to the console where she was standing.
"Mmmh, morning ma chérie.." The taller replied, leaning her face on Anxiety's hair, still drowsy from sleep.
Anxiety smiled fondly before turning her attention back to work.
She had a good feeling about this day.
