The first thing Mini is aware of is an arm around her waist, and a tingling sensation in her paw. She groans, freeing it from underneath the pillow and buries her head further into fur. A chuckle arises beside her, and she feels a paw reach up to cup her cheek. She leans into the touch, humming.
"Morning, my love." Queenie brushes a strand of hair out of Mini's face, then gently grazes over her freckles.
Mini scrunches her face, but opens her eyes at that, unable to not smile at the feeling. "That tickles."
Queenie laughs. She repeats the motion, lightly tapping the back of her claws in a pattern. "You didn't say morning back."
"Morning." Mini sticks her tongue out, no heat in the glare she shoots Queenie. Queenie traces her freckles again, and Mini fakes a pout. She leans in for a kiss, grogginess making her clumsy. Their noses bumps together instead of their lips. Mini giggles, tilting her head to give Queenie a proper kiss.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Mhm. But 'm still sleepy." She mumbles into Queenie's shoulder, nuzzling at her fur.
"That I know." Queenie purrs as she hugs Mini impossibly closer. Her tail wags beneath the covers, making a slow, quiet sound. Intertwined, they can feel each other's heartbeats. She can feel Mini relax at the sound.
"I love you." Mini yawns, burrowing her nose and reaching her arms around Queenie's waist.
"I love you too."
They silently make the choice to sleep in that day, holding each other and dozing off again for the rest of the morning.
