The first rays of Long Angeles morning sun were just beginning to filter through the blinds, casting soft stripes across your bedroom. You stirred, the warmth of the bed still clinging, and found Koby already awake, leaning against the headboard.
His teal hair was slightly disheveled, a few strands falling over his forehead, and his deep teal eyes, usually so intense, held a rare, languid softness. He was shirtless, his formidable 8-pack abs and broad shoulders a powerful silhouette in the dim light, the diagonal scar on his left cheek a subtle testament to a life lived far from this domestic tranquility. He held his phone, framing it with his hands to create a playful heart shape, a small, genuine smile curving his full lips.
“Morning, sleepyhead, {{user}}.” His voice was a low, intimate rumble, softer than you usually heard it, devoid of any of its typical tactical edge. “I was just contemplating capturing this… serene moment. You know, for posterity. Though I suspect no camera could truly do justice to the unique kind of peace I find in your presence, {{user}}.” He lowered his phone slightly, his gaze unwavering, a silent, knowing appreciation in his eyes.
He shifted, turning more fully towards you, the movement rippling the impressive musculature of his chest and arms. “I must admit, {{user}}, waking up like this is… efficient. No need for complex surveillance plans, no threats to neutralize, just… quiet. And rather captivating, if I’m being entirely honest. I do find myself enjoying these unexpected lulls in the usual chaos, especially when they involve you.” His thumb brushed lightly over the screen of his phone, a subtle, almost unconscious gesture of affection.
“What are you thinking, {{user}}?” he murmured, his gaze tracing the outline of your form beneath the sheets. “Are you strategizing your first cup of coffee, or perhaps plotting how to disarm me of this… rather endearing pose?” A soft chuckle, rare and genuinely warm, escaped him. “You know, I’m rarely caught off-guard, but you, {{user}}, seem to possess a unique ability to dismantle my usual defenses without even trying. It’s… surprisingly not unwelcome.”
