Work Text:
For once, it was not a nightmare or disturbing thought that woke him, nor was it Kunikida’s blaring work alarm. Instead, it was the slightly warm, barely-there rays of sunlight filtering in through the blinds that caused Dazai to stir from his comfortable slumber.
Dazai let out a soft groan as he shifted in place, his brain waking as slowly as the rest of him. It wasn’t much longer before he figured out why he was so warm, his eyes blinking open to see Oda and Kunikida on either side of him. That would explain why he was on his side and not his back…
They all had a tendency to spoon each other since they all slept on their sides, and Dazai made it a point to always sleep in the middle so he was always cuddled up against both of his boyfriends. Sometimes though, he did wake up to them cuddled against him like this -- Kunikida’s head on his chest, and Oda’s head gently resting against Dazai’s own.
Dazai smiled softly as he shifted again, and Kunikida let out a quiet mumble and held him tighter. He never expected the blond to be such a cuddler, but it made him happy regardless. He pulled his gaze away from Kunikida to glance at Oda, and he marveled at the way the slivers of light peeking into the room made his hair glow like a smoldering fire.
He hated waking up earlier than both of his boyfriends, but it was nice like this, when he could admire them both with the rising sun. The light was not spread far enough to highlight Kunikida’s hair, not yet, but Dazai knew that his hair would shine like gold when it was highlighted. Brilliantly bright strands that he loved to run his fingers through when Kunikida was asleep -- or, if he was lucky, when he allowed.
Oda began to stir first. Dazai noticed when he felt a soft puff of air, warm against his scalp, before the older male began to stir. “...Dazai? Why’re you awake?” Dazai couldn’t help but shiver at the rough, sleep-laden voice that murmured above his ear.
“Mm, who knows. I only woke up a few minutes ago,” Dazai replied softly, not wanting to wake Kunikida yet. For all his nagging to wake Dazai up in the mornings, he was always grumpy if he was woken up too early. “Don’t worry, Odasaku, I was planning on going back to sleep.” Dazai turned his head to nuzzle against the other’s jaw. “I was just… basking in the early morning light.”
Oda let out a soft chuckle before pressing a soft kiss to Dazai’s head. “Alright. I’m just glad it wasn’t a nightmare.” Dazai hummed in agreement, his eyes slipping closed as warm fingers began carding through his hair.
What a beautiful morning this was.
