A while ago, Skyler awoke to the sound of the alarm beside him. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the woman in his arms.
She looked so peaceful that he didn't dare wake her. Carefully, he untangled her arms from his body before slipping out of bed.
He went to take a quick bath. So, he didn't expect Riruru to jump at him with a tearful face when he walked out of the bathroom wearing only a pair of dark tailored pants.
Skyler braced himself against the wall, the air knocked from his lungs as Riruru's arms tightened around his neck, her legs swiftly wrapping around his waist. He patted her back when she buried her face in his neck, sniffing him as if to ensure he was real.
An exasperated sound escaped him.
"You!"
Even then, she didn't let go, making him sigh. He had no idea what happened, but still, he rubbed her back to calm her down. His other hand reached out to hold her waist so she wouldn't lose her balance.
"Did you have a bad dream?"
