Summary
He likes these mornings best. The ones where they’re both home, in San Diego, at the same time, and not because Tom is sick or Pete is hurt. The ones where he wakes first, but not because he has anywhere in particular to be. Where he can watch, through hooded eyes, as Pete drools a little on his own pillow, lips parted, dark hair inelegantly falling over his forehead. Tom will drift in and out of sleep, each time he wakes looking at the same sight but from a new angle, under different light. Sometimes, Pete will have turned, and instead of looking at his face he’ll be looking at the back of his neck, or the side of his jaw. Sometimes he’ll have shifted closer, and the smell of his shampoo will tickle Tom’s nose, or he’ll have moved away, and Tom will remedy it by claiming the warm space he left behind.
These mornings don’t happen often, and at the expense of sounding soft, every single one is a gift.
Or, RIP Tom Kazansky you would have loved Garmin sleep score.
