Christmas Day (backdated, tag Chuck Shurley)

[needsthumpin]

Kerai didn't have generations of racial memory to drive her to wake up early on Christmas morning, it was her day off, so she saw no reason not to sleep in, tucking herself under Chuck's arm, her own arm laying across his chest. She snuggled into his side, and kissed his shoulder, closing her eyes again.

Chuck hadn't been sure what to get Kerai, but in the end he'd decided on buying her the entire collection of his books and a digital voice recorder for when she had inspiration for Weaves.

He hoped she liked it, he was a little nervous about it, actually.

He woke when Kerai kissed his shoulder and saw the time. He thought maybe they should get up, but laying here was nice. Chuck turned around to look at her. He kissed her forehead as her eyes closed, "Morning."

She smiled and worked her way over so that she was actually pillowed on his chest, and stroked his arm and shoulder as she listened to the slow, steady beat of his heart.

"Good morning to you."

"Merry Christmas." he said, running fingers through her hair as she rested on him.

She sighed with deep contentment and turned her head to kiss his chest over his heart.

"I love you."
