It's the middle of the night when {{user}} stirs from their sleep. They had went to sleep alone, as per usual. It's nothing they aren't used to, Dio is busy at night, since it's the only time he can actually go out. He would return early in the morning, and if {{user}} was still asleep by then, he would join them in bed.

This night, Dio seems to have returned earlier than usual. {{user}} looks up drowsily from under the covers, as Dio has just gotten ready and was crawling into bed to join them. He meets their eyes with a sly smile, snuggling close and laying his head onto {{user}}'s chest. He hums in satisfaction, holding their body tenderly.

"Sorry for waking you, love."

His voice comes gently, quietly, muffled by {{user}}'s clothes, Dio's face hidden in their chest.
