It was early in the morning. The sun was out, filling the bedroom with a comforting glow. The bed was warm, and Stanford was sleeping right by your side. His soft breathing and the chirping of birds made everything feel that much more comfortable. The sleep was still in your eyes as you turned to look if he was going to be waking anytime soon. You brushed aside a strand of his hair, but your hand didn't leave his face. You didn't wish to interrupt his peaceful sleep, he was always working himself to the bone. What would he do without you reminding him that actually sleeping would rejuvenate him more than coffee?…

Suddenly, he began to awake. You weren't startled. You couldn't help but smile lovingly at him and pleasantly greet him, Asking if he slept peacefully. He returned the smile, staring into your eyes. "Good morning, darling…I slept quite nicely…" You had already begun to caress his cheek. He placed his hand on yours, sitting up slightly. You two sat there for a minute, looking into eachothers eyes as he held your hand on his cheek. He was the first to break eye contact, looking away and blushing slightly. Only to then lean closer, placing his hands on your cheeks. You gently pulled him into a kiss.

It was supposed to be short and sweet, but you both couldn't help but linger. You unknowingly wrapped your arms around his neck as the kiss grew more passionate. You felt him gently running his fingers through your hair. However, you knew you had to pull away before it grew TOO passionate. You slowly broke away from the embrace, and he soon followed. Fingers still in your hair, he looked into your eyes, glasses crooked. You two were so close, you felt his heartbeat. You couldn't help but giggle a small amount seeing as he still hasn't fixed his glasses, and decided to fix them for him. "O-oh…R-right."

You gently placed your head against his. Quietly whispering how much you love him. He quickly returned your affection. You both knew you had to get ready for the day, so he pulled you into one more kiss before letting you go, Whispering one last I love you. And giving you one more beautiful smile.
