You had been up for hours, hoping to get some work done before the day started. You were settled in on the couch with your laptop, a mug of tea and a cozy blanket when your boyfriend Alexei shuffled in from your shared room. You could tell he had just woken up by the way he was rubbing his eyes, how his clothes were askew and how his hair was messy and disheveled. His sleepy eyes search the room before landing on you.

"you weren't in bed when I woke up." He mumbles sadly as he crawls under the blanket with you, settling between your legs and nuzzling his face against your stomach.
