Chapter Text
Nene happily combs through the soft dark locks tangled in her fingers, the corners of her lips tugging upwards in delight.
Amane was sleeping soundly beside her, his angular face veiled in gold by the sun peeking through the open windows.
Her hand continues to trail lightly on Amane's closed eyes, his unbelievably long eyelashes tickling her fingers; she can't help but emit a soft giggle.
Further down, she eyes his slightly parted lips, it was tempting to just stay in bed and cuddle with him like this and bask in this wonderful morning.
Alas! She still have classes to attend to, and it's an hour drive from here in Amane's Apartment to Kamome University, she can't afford to be late. So with a heavy heart, Nene left the cozy bed, careful to not wake him up. She entered the tiled bathroom, passing through the mirror, she caught sight of her reflection and grimaced.
Unlike Amane, who was sleeping like an angel bathing in heaven's light, Nene looks like she just walked to hell and back. Her ruby red eyes haggard with dark circles, her hair a literal bird's nest. Worse were the hickeys, scattered like stars on her neck and chest, she'll have to talk to Amane about it later, but knowing him he would be even proud.
She doesn't mind the bites, but she's not sure if her classmates and professors would appreciate seeing them. Nene prays she still have concealer left in her bag.
"I swear his mouth is like a vacuum sometimes" she murmured before dropping her clothes in the hamper and stepping inside the shower.
After taking a short bath and drying herself with a spare towel, she closed the bathroom door behind her and retrieved her blue faded jeans.
Amane was still snoring softly on the bed so she quietly tiptoed to his closet and snatched a gray hoodie with a small NASA logo embedded on it.
"Hoodie hoarder" is what she called him when she saw his vast hoodie collection, and according to him she's his "hoodie thief" which is unfair because she isn't really stealing them, she's only borrowing.
Turning to her side she faced the full body mirror and brushed her long white hair, paying close attention to its green tips.
"Good morning" she greeted when she heard Amane yawn and grumble.
"Good morning, you're early" he groggily made his way towards Nene and hugged her from behind, arms pressed against her waist, his amber eyes were still half closed when he perched his head on the crook of her neck.
Amane hums and squeezed Nene tighter, he loves being this close to her, feeling her warmth and inhaling her strawberry filled scent. He watches her reflection as she brushed her hair and smiled.
"You look beautiful"
"You need coffee, you're obviously still dreaming"
"Why would I need to sleep if my dreeam is already right here?"
Nene flushes red and lightly tapped his face with her comb, feigning annoyance.
"Hitting me already?? I forget that you can be a cruel brute in the morning" he laughs while he kisses her cheeks. He untangles his arms from her torso and left her to brew coffee in the kitchen.
Nene was left in the bedroom with her heart hammering loudly against her chest. It was unfair how he could easily melt her with such a simple compliment. The next time she won't be easily swayed, she gives herself a small pep talk.
Amane returned to the bedroom with a cup of coffee and a satisfied smile. He invited Nene to sit with him on the edge of the bed, she obliged and turned away from the mirror.
"It's hot, be careful alright?" He handed her the cup and took the hairbrush on her hands and continued to where she left off in fixing her hair.
"Thank you Amane"
They stayed like that for quite some time, Nene sitting on the bed drinking coffee, while Amane lovingly brushes her hair, both of them enjoying a silent yet warm morning, trapped in their own little world.
Ring

Nene's cell phone shrieked, shattering the peaceful atmosphere surrounding them, the sound was so unexpected it made both of them jump in surprise.
"I'll answer that for you is that alright?" Amane volunteered.
Nene nods and points toward the kitchen.
"Who is it?" She asked when he returned from his short journey. The phone's caller ID flashes an image of a smiling blonde haired boy with ocean blue eyes.
"It's Kou.....your boyfriend"
"Oh"
