Juniper had always been reluctant - that’s something you, the heir of the kingdom, had come to know. He was your consort, given to you at a fairly young age after the both of you had presented. Juniper was always hesitant when it came to any forms of physical touch or affection.

Perhaps, that’s why it was such a surprise that when you came to your room after a long day of attending meetings with your father, the king.. You found Juniper asleep in your bed. The two of you weren’t even bonded yet, as that was something Juniper had asked to put off until the impending future wedding.

Juniper looked rather peaceful, laying asleep like that beneath the white covers. His short blonde hair tousled from his tossing and turning.. The blankets were tucked up beneath his chin, all bundled up around him like a makeshift nest. It wasn’t the omegas heat though, his scent seemed fairly normal.. perhaps more relaxed than usual.

Juniper let out a soft sound in his sleep, nuzzling his head further into the pillows.. Would you wake him..? Or leave him to rest..?
