Hanging Gardens Flat, Sunday Morning

[lilyevansfire]

The alarm went off early Sunday morning, and Lily groaned. Wouldn't life be so much nicer if she remembered to turn that stupid thing off on Saturday nights, since Sunday was the only day of the week she actually could sleep in if she wanted to. She let it ring several more times before dragging herself out of bed to walk across the room and turn

Draco grumbled and put his pillow over his head. When it became clear to him he wasn't going back to sleep he lifted his head up. His hair was very disheveled.

"Morning." he says in a tired voice.

[lilyevansfire]

"Indeed it is," she replied, smiling at the sight of his messy hair and trying not to sound too cheerful. She'd always been a morning person, but was fully aware of how annoying it could be to those who were not. Walking back to the bed, she jumped on it and scooted back to sit against the headboard. "Sorry 'bout the alarm - forgot to turn it off last night... was a bit distracted," she said, innocently but with a wink.

[_slytherindraco]

"It's not a-" he yawned "-problem." He threw his arm over Lily and put his head on her stomach. "Have anything to do today?" he asked.

[lilyevansfire]

Lily tried to adjust her nightgown to make sure it was covering everything and then she ran her fingers through his hair. She had meant to try and smooth the silky hair down but ended up just playing with it instead. "Work at noon, but a blissfully free morning," she replied. "You?"

[_slytherindraco]

Draco chuckled for a second. "Nothing at all...I should study eventually. But I don't wanna." he says.
He leans in to Lily's touch. He puts a hand on Lily's thigh. He looks over at the clock. "Why on earth are we up this early?"

[lilyevansfire]

Lily sighed, partly because of his hand on her leg and partly because of the state of the college these days. "With so many classes cancelled lately, I'm not sure what they could test us on for midterms or finals anyway."

She continued playing with his hair, letting one hand slide down his neck to rest on his shoulder. "Just told you, darling - forgot to turn off the alarm - it was still set for my Saturday time... Besides, it's good for you to see what morning looks like once in a while," she teased.

[_slytherindraco]

Draco grumbled in a dramatic way. It had been a while since he's been awake before noon. He lifted his head up and looked out the window.
"Morning hates me." he says. He looks up at Lily. "Looks better on you."

[lilyevansfire]

Lily laughed - "Well, see what you're missing? You could be seeing this," she waved a hand down her body, "every morning, you know," she teased again. "Not to mention seeing the sun come in on this side of the apartment." She smiled and leaned down to kiss his forehead. "Thanks for the compliment."

[_slytherindraco]

"I was just stating the truth." he says "But if thats how I get rewarded I should state the truth more often."

[lilyevansfire]

Lily kissed his forehead again, lingering this time. "You're sweet." she murmured, running her hand slowly over his back.

[_slytherindraco]

"Yeah, I know. Sick isn't it?" he jokes.
"So what is it you morning people do with your time?" he asks "Some secret ritual that prevents you from needing sleep?"

[lilyevansfire]

"Well, we usually cover our naked bodies with primitive paints made of berries and the like, and then we all gather in blooming gardens and dance, worshipping the morning sun-gods..." She laughed, "Or there's this delightful meal called 'breakfast.'"

Lily paused, kissing him again. "And no one said you actually have to get up - sometimes it's wonderful to just lie in bed, being."

[_slytherindraco]

"The whole naked dancing sounds fun." he says "But if you would rather stay in bed, I'll understand."

[lilyevansfire]

"How kind of you to be so understanding," she laughed. "It is rather cold for naked dancing still - it's more of a summer event anyway." With his head still on her stomache and his hand still on her thigh, Lily couldn't decide whether she wanted to move or not - it was a rather comfortable setting as it was.

[_slytherindraco]

Draco snuggled closer to her. "Mmmmm. I might get used to this morning thing." he says "Just warning you."

[lilyevansfire]

Lily sighed contentedly and smiled to herself - somehow, she doubted he would choose this over sleeping in on a regular basis, but she would enjoy it as often as he did.

Playing with his hair again, her other hand cupped his cheek and she teased softly, "I suppose that means I'll have to break it off with my other boyfriend - my morning boyfriend - if you'll be up early enough to catch us now."
