Summary
He woke to Ed’s breathing softly against his neck, still asleep beside him. Stede smiled up at the ceiling. Ed was still here, still curled against him, still close. He took in a deep breath of his own as various emotions washed over him. How this was real he had no idea. He laid there happily with Ed curled against him, face tucked against Stede’s neck.
Only when the sun rose a bit further did he shift to press a kiss to Ed’s hair and brush a hand up and down his back over the thin linen shirt he had chosen to sleep in. Ed stirred some at the touch and adorably nuzzled further against Stede’s neck, beard rubbing against his skin. Stede continued to trace patterns along Ed’s back.
Ed hummed and shifted against him, pressing kisses to Stede’s skin as he fully woke.

Set between episodes six and seven, after all their romantic gestures and promises of forever, Stede and Ed enjoy their morning. Stede insists they do what Ed has hinted at wanting to do since the start, while finally saying those three words to one another and somehow shocked when the other says them in return.
