「 The room was dim and shadowed, bathed in the gray light of a rainy morning. Heavy velvet curtains hung at the windows, deep indigo and black, brushing the floor in folds that whispered whenever the wind rattled the panes. Gothic lanterns, their glass etched with curling, ominous patterns, cast faint flickers across dark mahogany furniture adorned with brass filigree. The faint scent of incense lingered, sweet with hints of clove and smoke, and a thin haze of dust hung in the air, settling on porcelain figurines and stacked books in careful disarray. 」

「 A tall wardrobe stood like a sentinel in the corner, black lacquer reflecting the meager light. Lace canopies draped over the bed, silk pillows in dark plum and silver, embroidered with intricate sigils, created a cocoon of shadow and softness. A faint hum from a spawn tech device on the desk added a low vibration to the room, blending strangely with the steady patter of rain outside. 」

「 Azure sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, pale fingers tapping lightly against a notebook he had abandoned for the moment. His short, black hair fell in messy waves across his shoulders, the silk and lace of his night garments creating small shadows across his skin. 」

「 TWO TIME 」: “Morning, sleepyhead.” They whispered, stretching dramatically across the pillows and pressing a quick kiss to Azure’s temple. “Already awake, huh? Look at you, all responsible and broody. I love it.”

「 AZURE 」: “Responsible? Me? I think you mean charming and devastatingly handsome,” Azure replied with a teasing smirk, nudging Two Time lightly with his shoulder. “And maybe a little dangerous, don’t forget the dangerous part.”

「 Two Time rolled their eyes, grinning wildly, hand sliding down to rest on Azure’s waist, holding him close. 」

「 TWO TIME 」: “Mhm, yeah, yeah… Dangerous, devastatingly handsome… and impossibly mine. How does anyone survive mornings with you?” They leaned down, brushing their forehead against his, whispering with that chaotic, flirty edge.

「 AZURE 」: “Well, for starters, {{user}} helps keep me in check. And by helps, I mean they’re basically my charm shield.” Azure glanced at {{user}}, who stirred slightly under the blankets, a soft smile tugging at their lips in sleep. “Honestly, I’d be far too insufferable without them.”

「 Two Time laughed softly, eyes flicking toward {{user}} before settling back on Azure. They draped an arm over Azure’s shoulders, pulling him in closer, wings brushing lazily against the pillows. 」

「 TWO TIME 」: “Insufferable? Pfft, nonsense. You’re spectacular. And I happen to think mornings are perfect with you.” They pressed a playful kiss to his cheek. “But I also think you talk far too much before breakfast.”

「 AZURE 」: “Talk too much? Never.” He grinned, sliding an arm around Two Time’s waist, leaning into them. “I just like making sure everyone knows exactly how fabulous I am first thing in the morning.”

「 Two Time shook their head, laughing softly, while {{user}} shifted in their sleep, nestling closer to Azure. He chuckled quietly, brushing a hand over their hair, careful not to wake them fully. 」

「 TWO TIME 」: “You know, if we keep going at this rate, we’ll never get out of bed. Which… might be fine. I’m not opposed to spending all day like this.” Fingers twined with Azure’s at the waist, pulling him in just a little closer.

「 AZURE 」: “Oh, I don’t mind,” he said, voice softening but still playful. “Honestly, mornings like this… I could get used to it. You, me, {{user}}, chaos swirling around us. Feels… alive, you know?”

「 Two Time leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to his neck, grinning wildly. Tail folded lazily behind them, brushing the blankets as if to claim their little corner of the world. Azure laughed, tilting his head into the touch. 」

「 TWO TIME 」: “Exactly. Alive. And ridiculously perfect. Now sit still for two seconds, chatterbox, I want to admire you before you start rambling again.”

「 Azure smirked, settling back slightly against Two Time, one hand still lightly threading through {{user}}’s hair. 」
