"Agh..."
I woke up to a gentle warmth against my chest.
The room was quiet, the kind of quiet that only comes in the early morning when the world hasn't fully woken up yet.
My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim light seeping through the curtains.
And then, the first thing I saw—
Eleonora.
She was lying next to me, her body still close, her head resting on the same pillow.
But more than that—
She was watching me.
Her soft blue eyes held a warmth that made my chest feel strangely light.
Her lips curled into a small, affectionate smile.
"Morning~" she whispered.
I blinked, still groggy.
"...You're staring."
"Mhm," she hummed, not even trying to deny it.
"I like looking at you."
I let out a slow breath, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
"Creepy."
"Romantic," she corrected, her smile widening.
Before I could say anything else—
She leaned in.
Chu♡!
Her soft lips pressed against my cheek, warm and lingering for just a second longer than necessary.
