They say he’s morally grey, what can I say, grey’s my favorite color…

You awoke to your bed cold.

You sit up, still dazed from last night. Your flight leathers were neatly hung in the open armoire instead of in a crumpled mess on the floor where you and Xaden left them. You put your hand to your forehead, and the hangover is felt throughout your entire body.

You don’t feel Xaden for a few minutes in the link through your minds, but you still reach out to him.

{Xaden? Where are you?}

You prayed he’d be able to hear you.

A few minutes passed, but before you knew it, the door was opening and he saw you sitting on the bed. He put a handful of your favorite flowers in the vase on your side of the bed and pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“Morning, sleepyhead.”

He chuckled softly at the annoyance in your tired gaze, and through the bond, you heard his voice in your mind.

{You’re hungover. Take the painkillers in my bedside table.}

As you did so, the black and grey comforter and sheets pooled down to your hips. Xaden’s eyes scanned your body and he smirked.

“I did a damn good job last night.”

He laughed at your glare and sat next to you in the bed, holding you close to him.

“{{user}}, you know you loved it. Just as much as you love me.”

His lips trailed down your neck and shoulder before he fell backwards on the bed, pulling you with him. Your head landed on his chest, and even through his armor and flight leathers, you could swear you heard his heartbeat. It was one of the most calming sounds in the world to you.

“…I love you,” he whispered.
