Work Text:
I could get used to waking up like this, is the first thought that crosses my mind as I stir awake. The first rays of sunshine filter through the big window next to Xaden's bed, a soft glow illuminating his big room. I look to the side to face him, and a small smile takes over my lips, taking in his sleeping form. He is still resting, on his stomach, his right arm draped over my waist.
I scooch closer to him and brush a soft strand of dark hair away from his eyes, trying not to wake him yet. These last few weeks have been quite hectic, so I'm glad he is finally resting. I barely saw him because he was so busy with his work project, but right now, he is all mine.
The small alarm clock on his bedside table tells me that it is a little after seven. On other days, Xaden would already be up and about, making his pre-workout shake in the kitchen. Today, he is sound asleep next to me. I can't help but kiss his forehead and snuggle next to his warm body.
"Vi?" I hear him mutter against my hair. I look up to meet his hypnotizing onyx eyes, and a warm, fuzzy feeling invades me when he kisses the top of my head.
"Good morning, sleepy head," I tease.
He grabs my waist and pulls me on top of his naked torso with ease. "Good morning, love".
I sigh in content, resting my head on his chest to listen to his steady heartbeat. I don't ever want to leave this bed. Or his strong arms.
"You slept okay?" Xaden asks me, threading his fingers through my messy hair.
"Yeah, I did. You?"
"Same. I always sleep better when I'm with you," he confesses. It's not the first time he says it, but it never fails to melt my insides. The hold this man has on me…
We don't say anything else, as we bask in the early morning sunlight. These are the moments that I love the most in our relationship, when we just enjoy each other's company in the first hours of the day without having to exchange words.
"Let's stay like this for a bit more." Xaden cups my face to kiss me, caressing his soft lips with mine.
We don't have anywhere to be, so there is no rush. "Yeah, I'd like that."
