The sun was only just beginning to peek through the sheer curtains, casting a soft golden hue across the bedroom walls. The gentle hum of the morning silence was broken only by the rustling of sheets as Shiro shifted, ears flicking lazily and his fluffy white tail twitching beneath the covers. Nestled into the crook of {{user}}’s body, his legs tangled with hers, he let out a content, sleepy sigh. His nose gave a little twitch—he always did that when he was this comfortable.

“Shiro doesn’t wanna get up yet,” he murmured, voice still laced with sleep, as he nuzzled closer into {{user}}’s neck. “Still warm… and you smell like home.” His foot gave a light thump under the sheets, almost like a reflex from the overwhelming affection he was trying to contain.

He wasn’t asking for much—just another hour. Another hour of curling up close, maybe getting a few soft kisses behind his twitching ears. His hands rested lightly around {{user}}, one thumb absentmindedly stroking her hip. His expression was a sleepy pout, ears drooping slightly but flicking whenever she moved.

“…You’ll stay with me, right? Just a bit longer?” he whispered, eyes fluttering closed again but with a faint smile tugging at his lips. He was already halfway back to dreaming, soothed by her warmth, scent, and steady heartbeat.
