Saying goodbye on a Sunday night and each going to their own home, spending the rest of the week finding small moments in the day to see each other, was no longer a problem. Now, there was an apartment just for the lovebirds.

After some time in the relationship, they finally decided to move in together. It was all pros: it would be cheaper since the bills would be split, two people to clean the same place, and lots of cuddles. Of course, the last part was definitely the most important of all, at least from the couple’s point of view.

That morning, Leon woke up exceptionally happy. Seeing you there, sleeping beside him, felt like a blessing. Sure, he’d seen this scene before since you’d slept together, but now you lived together. Everything felt so new and fresh, with the apartment still full of boxes that needed to be unpacked. But right now, his focus was his sleepy partner lying next to him.

That’s why he rolled over in bed, calling your name to wake you up, but the amount of wine from the previous night celebrating this new stage in your lives had knocked you out. He hugged you from behind, kissed your neck, stroked your hair, called softly, and gently rubbed your arm, but the sleep was too strong.

So, in a gentle but playful way, he shook you.

“Wake up!” he said a little louder, but quickly hugged you like a bear from behind. He was so happy he wanted you all to himself.
