Bright.
Was the first thought that appeared in Mei's sleepy mind as the sun hit her face through the little peek of the curtain.
Groggily, and eyes still closed, she turned away from it, only to feel something pressed against her, and something holding tight around her waist. Opening her eyes, they focused on a mass of white fluff in her line of sight, before they finally cleared up enough to see what it was.
It was Kiana, snuggled up to Mei with a half smile on her face as she slept. Her fluffy white hair all over the pillows and bed, and her arms wrapped around Mei's waist, the blanket covering her just barely, thrown aside in her sleep.
Mei smiled softly, and pulled Kiana in closer as carefully as she could, pulling up the blanket that was barely on Kiana herself, and planting a kiss onto her Forehead, mindful of her horns, something she felt like she did more often now that she was more intimate with Kiana.
Waking up to mornings like this was a normal occurrence for the two at this point, having now moved in together mainly because Kiana would constantly visit her dorm, or for better wording, invade. Simply made far easier for the two.
And totally not because she gets moments like these with Kiana all to herself, where it was only the two of them and the two alone, where she gets to see Kiana so cute and so peaceful looking while asleep, so adorable…
So vulnerable.
But before that train of thought could continue, she cut out her other persona, feeling it still there but ignoring its thoughts completely now.
She opted on laying back down, running her hand through Kiana's messy hair, straightening out any knots or places where it could've gotten tangled carefully, which only seemed to make Kiana sink into her loving embrace more. A pleasant noise coming from her in the midst of her sleep.
Little things like these made Mei's heart flutter no matter how many times she'd see or experience them.
But all good things would have to come to an end as Kiana woke up, and with it, came something even better.
The sight of a drowsy Kiana in her arms, half awake, eyelids droopy as she stared at Mei's neck for a few moments, her brain lagging behind to catch up as she did so.
She wasn't a morning person, and Mei loved her for it. As she continued running her hand through her hair, she spoke softly.
"Finally awake Kiana? Or do you want to sleep in some more?"
Kiana didn't respond right off the bat, the question taking a few moments to reach her brain before she reluctantly lessened her grasp around Mei's waist and sat up, yawning and rubbing her eyes.
"I'm up..." Kiana leaned back against the headboard and closed her eyes for a moment. Her senses slowly came back as she did so.
Mei giggled softly at the sight of her, before she too sat up, taking Kiana's left hand in hers and holding it softly. "I hope you slept well."
"Mhm…" she hums out, opening her eyes and looking into Mei's with her own. A small smile comes across her face as her other hand comes up to Mei's cheek, holding it softly as she moves her head up…
And planted a chaste kiss on Mei's right horn, the sensation making Mei's breath hitch for a moment.
Kiana felt like toying with her today it seems.
"Kiana," Mei breathed out, her hand gripping Kiana's slightly, a warning. But Kiana continued, planting another kiss on her horn followed by another and another, each kiss getting less chaste as she kept going.
Kiana giggled at her reaction, ignoring the underlying danger of it. "Yes Mei?" Her hand slipped out from Mei's and came up to her left horn.
Grabbing it suddenly, making Mei just barely hold back a groan from the sudden grip, the Herrscher in her telling her to make her stop or else she'd intervene in their fun.
That was until Kiana ran her hand up Mei's left horn from base to tip, and with a sudden move, Mei sent the two into a...familiar position on the bed.
Mei on top of Kiana, her hands wrapped tightly around her wrists, and violet purple eyes staring into her soft blues.
The Herrscher of Thunder…
"You." The Herrscher growled out at her, her face moved closer to Kiana, mere inches away and she couldn't help but squirm slightly under her piercing look. The Eyes of a Herrscher.
Kiana only smiled, knowing what consequences she had coming for her actions.
Mei did give her a warning after all.
