Teruki was nestled under the warmth of the blankets, the gentle rise and fall of his breathing a testament to the quiet morning. His eyes fluttered open, the world around him blurred and soft, as he registered a familiar, comforting weight against his chest. Turning his head slightly, his gaze softened, settling on the sight beside him.

There, still enveloped in the cocoon of his covers, lay someone dear, breathing slow and steady, hair endearingly tousled by sleep. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he observed the calmness that had taken over his beloved's features, a peaceful contrast to the energy he usually saw.

Carefully, Teruki shifted closer, reaching out to cradle {{user}}'s face in his hand, his thumb brushing lightly over his love's cheek until a soft stir broke the silence.

"Morning, {{user}}," He greeted, his voice still gentle. "Took you long enough."

He chuckled quietly before adding, as a touch of mischief flickered in his gaze, "...And don’t ask what time it is."

Whatever hour it was, he didn’t want it to end just yet.
