“Mmmgh….”
A soft ray of light lay half asleep upon his face, a warm welcome to another day. He stretched his rigid limbs out, as if he were making a snow angel. Eye still closed, his face scrunched up like a sponge, then releasing like how one would release water filled with grime. He lied limp for about ten seconds, then turned to his side. He couldn’t help himself from wiggling over to the extra warmth soundly snoring in front of him.
“Kkhhhh….hhhhhg…..kkhhhhh….hhhhhg…”
He placed his hands on the available shoulder of the snoring warmth, pulling himself closer, so close he could nuzzle into his neck. He didn’t mind how the antlers upon his head occasionally grazed against the other, he may have even enjoyed it.
As he drew in a breath his body became warmer, not only by the shared heat, but the closeness. Charcoal and cocoa butter, a scent combo he never thought he would love.
His eyelid slowly lifted, he let out a sigh as he could now see the beauty next to him. A large hand rested awkwardly under his chiseled yet chubby chin, skin dark and scarred, his mouth was slightly open enough for sharp teeth to show and drool to fall out, some of his eyes were partially opened; mocha and rolled back.
It was truly as if he was sculpted by the gods.
Closing his eyes again, he tranquily shifted his body to plant quiet kisses from his forehead to his back. He made sure to give extra attention to the healing cuts on his back, almost as if he were applying bandaids to a wound.
“Mmmhmmm….”
Ah, he’s waking up.
“Kkhhhaaaaaa…”
He snorted as he yawned, multiple times; Lips smacking. He arched his posterior as the back of his hands slid up against his face, fingers reaching away from each other. His hands reached towards the sky while his torso twisted, his legs stretched to their limit, then they kicked. The bed creaked and shook as so did he, he let out a sigh as his self made earthquake calmed down.
“Good morning to you too.”
Those words gently guided the edges of his mouth up. He turned his body to the side where the lullabye came from, half of his face obscured by the pillow he lied on. Voice deep and slightly horse.
”Morning.”
Attempting to leave the fluffy warmth of the bed, the much more woken one scooted to the edge of the bed.
“Aye! Come back…”
He turned around to see his sleepy partner with puffed cheeks, making grabby hands.
“I have things to do.”
“But I wanna cuddle…”
“Don’t you have things to do?”
The larger man sighed dramatically and draped his back over the edge of the bed, he laid upside down.
“Can I get a hug before you leave?”
He stared with the desperation of a puppy who saw a large slab of steak.
The smaller one rolled his eyes as he went in for the hug, but as soon as he got ahold of the other…
“Fwoop!”
He was suplexed off the ground and back onto the mattress, the culprit squeezing and hugging him.
“Another criminal caught, heh!”
The “criminal” froze, but after hearing the loud wheezy laughter from his “captor” he himself couldn’t help but let out a chuckle or two.
“Swords, I’ll stay!”
He pat his chest softly, soon enough it was being snuggled into. He pushed the indigo horns down and made himself comfortable, curling his body around the upper part of his beloved.
In one final chuff, the both of them continued their quiet, serene slumber.
