The sun beginning to peek through the window cast a well needed light into the dim room, although that wasn’t quite enough to rouse the two figures in bed from their rest just yet- well, at least not one of them.

Xie had been awake for a little while already, having decided to stay the night with his fiancé- even if his demon physiology meant that he wouldn’t need to sleep for all that long. So whilst he waited for Kirstin to wake he took to simply watching her against his chest, gently stroking a hand through her hair as well. The sun already rising however would mean that she’d need to get up sooner, rather than later; he had a routine to stick to and hunts to participate in soon.

“Kirstin? It’s time for you to wake up~” Xie’s voice would remain rather soft for the time being, the last thing he’d want is to rouse her from sleep too quickly. The only response he’d be left with is a grumble and tighter snuggling, obviously pretty reluctant to wake up so early. Laughing to himself, Xie would shake his head with a smile on his face, “If you get up now then I may even reward you with a kiss~”

The mention of a kiss would definitely catch her attention, rubbing her face against him a couple more times before moving to sit up and look at him- sleep still clearly written across her face, “You mentioned a kiss, love?” Kirstin’s voice was just as groggy as the rest of her, but at least Xie’s plan to get her up had worked.

“I did, now stay right there…” He’d shift in his position on the bed just enough so that he can properly face her, gazing over the features of one of his lovers for a few moments before taking her face into both of his hands and leaning forward to press a soft kiss against her lips. They were warm, much unlike his own, but the sensation remained enchanting nonetheless- until eventually he pulled away, admiring the light blush on her face. “Will that suffice, ài ren?”

After a few moments of contemplation Kirstin would shake her head slightly, blush still present on her face as she gave the demon a somewhat sheepish smile, “Can I just have one more? I’m not going to see you for most of the day after all~”

Another small laugh would leave Xie, amused by her words, “Very well then- but only one~” Despite his words, Xie knew that ‘only one’ would turn into ‘many’ in a matter of moments- however, he wouldn’t mind too much at all; he had some time to spare and making sure that Kirstin was happy meant the world to him.
