AN – Something short but sweet today. :)
Miles groaned in response to Phoenix’s voice, wanting to bury himself in his pillow.
“Come on, sleepyhead. It’s time to get up. I know you’re not a morning person, but we can’t sleep in today.”
Miles felt tempted to argue with him but knew better than to do that. He blearily turned to look at him before saying, “Neither are you…”
Phoenix chuckled. “I know. Believe me, I want to sleep in too. But alas, we are grown adults who have responsibilities to take care of.”
It took a few more minutes but they eventually dragged themselves out of bed and set about with their morning routine.
This was, in all honesty, one of their favorite parts of their lives together. Phoenix loved brushing his teeth while Miles showered. And Miles loved getting dressed while Phoenix styled his hair.
They were both so intimately involved with the others’ routine that it had become a quiet comfort to them as they finally ventured downstairs to get some breakfast.
Since they didn’t have the time to make a big meal, they settled on some toast and oatmeal for Miles, and cereal and coffee for Phoenix.
“So, what’s our agenda for today?” Phoenix asked him.
“Mostly just paperwork. Unless a last-minute case comes up, we should have a normal day without any rushing around.” Miles replied.
“Good.” Phoenix smiled at him.
AN – I hope you enjoyed that! See you tomorrow for the final story!
