Author’s Notes: I like playing with words, like a boss. This is a very short oneshot.
I am still getting strangely excited whenever I’m waking up next to him. I don’t even know where this is all coming from, considering he’s been my best friend for so many years, resulting in having woken up next to him a lot of times. But since we’re a couple, so many things have changed.
Back when he was just my friend, I hadn’t been excited at all, I’d rolled over, falling asleep again.
Then later, when I’d realized he was being more than a friend to me, I’d rolled over in case he’d wake up and it got awkward. I was pretty sure I’d be awkward around him when he was so close to me, and I didn’t want to risk that.
But now, when Jack awakes, there is no problem at all. It’s comfortable just lying there and watching him waking up slowly. Opening his sleepy eyes, frowning at the sunlight, yawning lowly and smiling when noticing that I’m lying right there next to him.
Jack is then reaching out to me to let his hand slide up my side, pulling me closer carefully.
When we’re waking up in the morning, everything is slow, we’re never rushing at all.
I’ve been watching him sleep a few minutes now, expecting him to open his eyes every second. And there it is, the little move in his face which tells me that his consciousness has come back now. I put my hand on his back and let my thumb slide across the part of his soft skin that it can reach without me moving my hand too much.
Jack’s eyes open up, doe eyes looking at me sleepily. He’s trying to keep them open, his long eyelashes moving up and down whenever he closes his eyes for a second.
He’s incredibly beautiful just lying there. No words are spoken during the first few minutes of waking up, we’re staying silent, just watching each other being close.
Jack’s hand creeps out from under the pillow, cupping my cheek lightly, and I move a bit closer. His fingertips are stroking my skin tenderly and a tiny little smile lightens up his face a bit. My eyes are fixed on his, doe eyes, Bambi in my bed, with those impressively long lashes.
My other hand is searching for his under the pillows, our fingers clinging together as soon as I’ve found it.
Those minutes of slowly waking up are my favourite part of every day, just because I know he’s content and happy, because everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.
Jack’s eyes are closing again while his hand on my cheek is gently pulling me closer and I lean in a bit to let his lips meet mine.
Morning kisses are the most wonderful thing on earth, they are always careful, soft and half filled with our sleepiness.
Jack’s lips are moving against mine lovingly and it’s perfect.
“Good morning, love“, he mumbles into the kiss and I stroke his foot with my big toe slowly.
“I love you“, I whisper back to him, opening my eyes to look at him. Jack has his still closed, smiling because he knows.
