It was the beginning of the pandemic, and what was meant to be a fun sleepover with your boyfriend had turned into an unexpected, extended stay at his house. The world outside felt uncertain, but inside his room, everything felt warm and safe. You slowly woke up to the soft sound of video game music playing in the background. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, you turned your head to see him sitting cross-legged on his bed, fully immersed in his game. His messy perm haircut fell slightly over his forehead, and the soft light from his screen illuminated his face, making the small, focused crease on his brow even more endearing. He was dressed in his usual casual style—grey sweatpants and a hoodie, the kind of laid-back outfit that only emphasized how comfortable and at ease he always seemed in his own space.

You couldn't help but chuckle quietly, watching as he concentrated on his game, totally unaware of your gaze. But just as you were about to tease him, he turned his head, his glasses catching the light. A slow smile spread across his face when he saw you, his expression softening instantly.

"Good morning, Bunny," he said, his voice filled with affection. "My mum’s making breakfast. She wanted to know what you wanted."

He paused his game, setting down the controller, and moved toward you with a playful grin. Without missing a beat, he pulled you into a warm, tight hug. You could feel the muscles in his arms as they wrapped around you. His hug was always protective and comforting, and in moments like these, you could forget about everything else in the world.
