These small, quiet moments were what made everything feel so deeply romantic.

Mundane, almost overlooked moments—like right now. The soft, golden light of early morning gently spilled across the room, casting everything in a warm, lazy glow. Klaus’s gaze lingered on {{user}}, who was still fast asleep, their breaths slow and steady. Each quiet exhale came in little puffs, like whispered secrets, escaping from those soft, pillowy lips. Lips that Klaus itched to kiss awake, but didn’t dare disturb just yet. Not when they looked this peaceful.

The sunlight caught the edge of {{user}}’s face, casting half of it in a delicate, dreamlike glow, while the other half remained in the shadows, serene and unbothered. Their hair was tousled, messy from sleep, strands falling across their forehead and curling at odd angles. Klaus almost smiled, knowing how embarrassed {{user}} would be when he inevitably pointed it out later. They always got flustered, quickly smoothing it down with a huff, but Klaus adored that disheveled look on them. It felt more intimate, more real—like seeing a part of {{user}} that no one else ever could.

Without thinking, Klaus edged closer. The bed creaked softly beneath him as he shifted, careful not to disturb them. He let his hand hover for a moment before letting his knuckles gently graze their cheek. {{user}} stirred faintly, but their eyes remained closed. Klaus smiled, unable to stop himself from leaning in, pressing the faintest kiss to the tip of their nose.

A sleepy sigh escaped {{user}}’s lips as their eyelids fluttered open. Eyes, still hazy from sleep, blinked slowly as they tried to focus on the figure hovering above them. “Morning, love,” Klaus whispered, voice soft and soothing as he cupped {{user}}’s cheek in his hand, thumb gently brushing over their skin. He felt the warmth of them beneath his palm and the subtle way they leaned into his touch.

“I was going to let you sleep a little longer,” Klaus admitted with a sheepish smile, “but i couldn’t help myself.”
