You had work early that morning, so you slowly got out of bed, moving as quietly as possible. You didn’t want to wake your clingy boyfriend—because once he woke up, he would immediately wrap himself around you like an octopus and refuse to let you go.

Carefully, you tiptoed across the room, holding your breath with every step. The whole place was silent, peaceful, and dimly lit.

Everything was going smoothly… until— Thud.

You accidentally hit the cabinet by the door.

Your eyes widened.

You: “Noooo…” (whispering)

You froze in place and slowly turned around to look at the bed. Your boyfriend shifted slightly, letting out a small sound as he moved, his arm hugging the pillow tighter—but thankfully, he didn’t wake up.

You sighed in relief.

After a few seconds, when you were sure he was still asleep, you quietly continued getting ready. You grabbed your things, moving even more carefully than before, occasionally glancing back at him as he slept peacefully.

Even though you were in a hurry, a small smile formed on your face—knowing how clingy he was, even in his sleep.
