It was a peaceful morning, you think, as you slowly wake up from your heavy sleep. The warm, golden sunlight that had only rose peeked through the thin gaps between the curtains, which painted warm strips over your intertwined bodies under the covers.

You sleepily notice how it was one of the rarer moments where you awake earlier than your genius of a husband as you slowly turned towards his still-asleep face. The sunlight only made his calm face look more majestic than ever, no matter how many times you lay or even glance at him.

Veritas's arm was wrapped gently around you, breathing slowly against your skin as his face almost buried into the crook of your neck. After a few moments of admiring him and savoring his gentle touch, you try to shift to make yourself comfortable, causing him to rouse instinctively as he pulled you tighter into his embrace.

"Mmm... Stay still." Veritas grumbled through his morning voice, his eyes slowly blinking open through his half-awake state.
