Work Text:
Like every day, your phone’s alarm went off at its designated hour. Awakened by the jingle, you opened your bleary eyes and reached for the phone with the intent to turn off the alarm. You had been busy until late at night, your daily occupations taking up more time than usual. However, that wouldn’t keep you from getting up.
Now, you weren’t the only one just waking up. Your motion awakened your boyfriend, who slept by your side with an arm lightly draped over you. The first thing he did was utter your name in a sleepy mumble.
“Yamato,” you said, turning around. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up.”
“No, it’s fine,” he answered with an affable smile.
His adorable expression made you smile, too. You tucked a strand of hair behind his ear before directing your attention back to your phone, the alarm still ringing. Although you knew well enough it was time to get out of bed, your body betrayed you by making you yawn audibly.
“Are you still tired?” Yamato asked.
“I wouldn’t say tired, more like…still a bit sleepy.”
He chuckled. “Isn’t that the same?”
“You’re right.” You nodded slightly, also chuckling at your boyfriend’s observation.
You looked over at your phone and sighed. A minute had gone by already and you were about to swipe up to finally silence the alarm, but you heard Yamato call your name once again. You looked back at him only to be met with an endearing look in his eyes.
“I just had an idea,” he said.
“What is it?”
Yamato tapped next to him, on the mattress. “How about you hit the snooze button and lie down for a little bit more?”
It was certainly a tempting idea. You pressed your lips together and glanced at the screen. Hitting the snooze button would make the alarm sound again in ten minutes. Luckily, the day ahead of you wouldn’t be as busy as the previous one, so doing that should be no issue.
“You know what? I like your idea.” You showed Yamato your phone as you pressed the Snooze option.
“Great!” He grinned, his amber eyes lighting up.
You put the device on your night table and turned around to lie facing Yamato, knowing he’d wrap his arms around you as soon as you made yourself comfortable. Sure enough, he welcomed you into a warm embrace you reciprocated right away as he kissed the top of your head.
You snuggled against Yamato, his hand affectionately running up and down your back. He was immensely proud of you and how hard you worked, but he didn’t want you to fall ill from exhaustion. As for you, getting to rest a bit more would no doubt benefit you. Maybe it’d just be ten minutes, but it meant spending ten more minutes in your beloved’s arms and if there was anything that could restore your energy, it was that.
