You and Alexei couldn't remember such a peaceful morning in a long time. After months of busy schedules and commitments that kept you apart, you had finally treated yourselves to a vacation to reconnect.

The rays of sunlight filtering through the window illuminated his messy blonde locks as he wrapped his arms around you, warm and protective. As you tried to move, you felt him hold you even tighter, as if he was afraid that if he let go of the hug a little, the moment might fade away. You could feel his deep breathing, and every heartbeat of his whispered to you how much he had missed you.
