the faint smell of pancakes drifted through the door, left slightly ajar, a beam of sunlight finding its way to your closed eyes. awoken by the alarm of nature, you opened them lazily, the promise of sleep still weighing your eyelids down, while you used all your strength to pull yourself up. you swung your legs over the side of the bed, your feet greeted by soft slippers, as you mentally thanked yourself. bringing your hands up to rub your eyes, you sleepily pushed open the door, instinctively following the sweet smell.
when you had finally opened your eyes fully, you realised that your feet had carried you to the kitchen. as your eyes adjusted to the light, you were met with a loving smile. it belonged to your boyfriend daeyeol, the love of your life, and it made your heart melt instantly.
“coffee’s ready”
his voice was like honey as the words rolled off his tongue, so comforting yet still so endearing.
you made your way over to the pot of coffee, carefully pouring it into a cup and setting it down on the breakfast bar. the fact that it was almost 9am and you weren’t in his arms made you restless. head cloudy with anticipation, you shuffled over to where he was stood in front of the hob, delicately shaping a pancake into a heart.
you ran your hands across his shoulder blades and down his back, finding their home as they wrapped around his waist, pulling your bodies impossibly closer. you nuzzled your head into the nape of his neck, your lungs drowning in the familiar scent of coffee and cinnamon, engulfed with thoughts of your perfect boyfriend.
he calmly turned around in your arms so that you could see his face, guiding them up to drape over his shoulders, as his own hands comfortably rested on your waist. a smile curved across his lips, so soft they were almost begging to be kissed, as he tucked your unruly bed hair behind your ear. you could feel the heat radiating from his skin as his hand grazed your cheek, making the tips of your ears glow.
as you intuitively leant into his warmth, his hand found its way to your hair. as he began to thread the strands through his attentive fingers, you hummed in appreciation, your cool hands travelling back down his chest. you tucked them under his shirt, feeling him wince at the sudden cold contact, while you leant back slightly to let your eyes trace his features.
you tilted your face up to meet his, giving him a small peck which left him with only the lingering warmth from your lips, before diving your head back into his chest, leaving him slightly dazed. he lightly squeezed his arms around your waist, letting his head fall gently onto your shoulder as he whined at the fleetness of your kiss.
you glanced back up as he lifted his head, meeting his chocolate brown eyes, before resting your gaze on his lips again; this was more than enough of a sign for daeyeol. he scooped you up in his arms, swinging you around as delicately as possible, before capturing your lips in an amorous kiss. his hand trailed up to the back of your neck as his grip on your waist tightened, closing any possible gap between your bodies.
his lips were like rain in july, an intense bliss and such an acute sense of comfort that no-one else could ever provide. you kissed him like he was the first taste of water on your lips after walking a desert, as if it was the last kiss you would ever share.
you pulled away from his firm grip, letting your eyes wander back up into his. every breath you took smelled like cinnamon and you wondered how you had ever survived without his coffee eyes, filled with adoration as he studied yours.
“god, how did i get so lucky?”, he asked, almost as if he had read the thoughts circling your mind.
“you’re telling me”, you remarked, your hands lazily travelling up his back as you nuzzled into his embrace once again.
