The annoying ring of your alarm engulfed the silent, peaceful room, startling you from your rest. You groaned softly, but didn’t make a move—which, of course, didn’t go unnoticed by your boyfriend, he always sensed even the smallest flicker of discomfort you went through. Jeno kept one hand wrapped around you, his fingers playing with your messy morning locks, as his other hand reached out to turn off the alarm. 

He looked down at you lovingly, sleep slowly slipping away as he gently caressed your head with soft pats. He swore he would rather do this all day instead of going to some boring work place. All he wished for was for you, his pretty angel, to fall back asleep, despite knowing damn well that both of you had to wake up for adult life duties eventually. Eventually, though, was a faraway concept, because the right moment for you to start your day didn’t seem to be near enough. The only right thing he felt like doing was admiring your still sleepy face, his eyes holding literal hearts in them. He chuckled lightly as you nuzzled your face into the crook of his neck, crumpling his t-shirt into your fist in hopes to get even closer to him. That was his ideal morning (minus the adulting part).

Jeno had known it from a quite a young age—he was smitten with you. With you two being prom partners and later on being crowned as prom king and queen, it was pretty obvious to everyone around you that you were going to be highschool sweethearts. He could still see it clear as ice: the proud smile that stretched across your pretty face while the silvery tiara was placed on your head, his own eyes turning into crescents at the sight. It was back then when his life took quite a flip, and so did his heart, moving to be held by you and sealing itself there for good. He sighed dreamily at the memory, thumb brushing your cheek while his thoughts wandered to your first kiss, and he swore he didn’t even realise he’d puckered his lips at the memory. He just loved you that much, and he was thankful all the time for getting the chance to treasure you. 

But, like all the good moments, this one had to come to an end… eventually. 

“Fuck,” he muttered under his breath when the alarm rang once again, even louder this time.

He felt you shift on top of him, and he was quick to stroke your back in slow circles, knowing the alarm was going to startle you. 

“Good morning, my love,” he whispered, pressing a loving kiss to your temple. 

You smiled sleepily, grumpiness long forgotten as you pressed a sweet peck on his neck. “Morning, Nono.” 

He scrunched his nose at the nickname, but you both knew that it still made his heart flutter, even after all those years—just like he sent butterflies dancing in your stomach with every glance he gave you. 

“We have to get ready,” he sighed dramatically, yet he didn’t make any efforts to stand up—not as long as his angel was still hugging him. 

Your co-workers knew it was basically impossible to separate the two of you—you followed the same university and were now (disgustingly) adorable employees at your workplace. Sure, everyone found it endearing how you two tried to keep it so professional at work, going as far as not even telling them that you were partners at first. You smiled at the memory, but decided it was time to actually start your day and freshen up, so you rolled out of the bed, laughing at Jeno’s slight pout. 

You went to the bathroom and brushed your teeth together, laughing at the funny faces Jeno made in the mirror. You then proceeded to do each other’s skin care, stealing innocent kisses between the application of your moisturizer and the drops of serum. 

Less than an hour had passed since you woke up, yet there you were—still in bed, limbs tangled together under the sheets. Jeno was gently holding your hand, occasionally pressing kisses to your fingers—especially the one that was now adorned by the shiny band of a promise ring, matching his. The silence was comforting, the cuddle was warm, and the morning light was still blocked by the night curtains. You wanted nothing more but to be able to cuddle and stay indoors all day. 

“Baby, I really am extremely comfortable right now…” you whispered, looking in his beautiful eyes. 

He looked back at you, nodding in approval. He loved his job, sure—but not more than he loved his quality time with you. Despite all the teasing he received from his friends, he just couldn’t stop being clingy, not with you. It felt right—and that’s when the best idea popped into his mind.

“How about we work from home today?” 

Your eyes lit up as excitement bubbled in your chest.

“You are the best, Nono!” you beamed, grabbing his face softly. 

He looked at you for a second before closing the gap between your lips in a slow, yet passionate kiss. One hand found your waist, while the other tangled with your fingers. You couldn’t help but giggle because, somehow, every kiss felt just like the first. You pulled away after a while, fingers brushing his hair as a mischievous smile took over your features, your lips curved in satisfaction.

“Oh, and babe? You are the one calling our boss. Hope you don’t mind!” 

You pecked his plush lips once more before hopping out of bed, already on your way to set up your home office for the day, leaving a shocked Jeno behind—he was entirely helpless.
