#nine-nine

Her gaze shifted to her sleeping boyfriend, smiling at the relaxed look on his face as he held her tightly.

She wiggled her way out and tip-toed out of bed to avoid waking up the brunette.

She yawned and stretched her arms over her head as she made her way to the kitchen. It was still pretty early and Y/n felt groggy but pancakes called and who was she to say no to that?

Standing on her toes her hand grazed over the pancake box but not enough for her to grab it. Making a frustrated noise she held on a table for support and tried again.

Arms wrapped around her waist making her yelp as she was gently lifted, just enough for her to reach the top shelf where the pancake mix was kept. As she was lowered to the ground she looked at the person lifting her.

"Jake," she said, "When did you wake up?"

"Just now," He said, voice little deeper than usual, "saw you reaching for the box and gave u a little lift." He ended his statement with a soft smirk.

She rolled her eyes and removed a bowl and whisk, opening the box of pancake mix.

"Whatcha doing?" He asked childishly, eyes curious.

"Making us some pancakes." She replied simply, mixing water with the mix.

"Can I help?" He asked pleadingly making her laugh.

"Of course babe, can you get some berries out of the fridge?" He rushed to do exactly as she said.

Jake observed his girlfriend carefully pouring the batter into the pan and leaned over to scoop some of the batter and apply it to her nose.

She made a surprised noise and put some batter on his nose too, laughing at the look on his face.

Very soon the two had various patches of batter on their faces and Jake was tickling Y/n with laughter of his own.

As he stopped 'assaulting' her as she said, she huffed to catch her breath. Jake doubled over with laughter at her annoyance.

"Shut up." She mumbled.

"Noooo." He whined.

She suddenly grabbed him by the front of his shirt and kissed him, cutting his laughter short. He immediately responded, hands resting on her waist comfortably.

He tasted of pancake batter and berries and she felt that tasting it on his lips was way better than eating the real thing.

As the two broke apart Jake stared at Y/n with something that could only be described as awe.

"What? You weren't shutting up." She said, suddenly feeling a bit shy.

He laughed and pulled her close, kissing her forehead.

The two jumped apart at the smoke alarm ringing, Y/n screaming, "the pancakes are on fire!"

Jake laughed as his panicking girlfriend rushed to the kitchen and desperately tried saving the burnt pancake.
