DATE/TIME: Saturday morning
LOCATION: Their apartment
RATING: C for Cute and Confused.
WARNINGS: Possible angst.
SUMMARY: A monumental moment of "what the fuck" occurs.
Every morning ended up the same for Mathias: he'd wake up groggy, eye the bright red numbers on the alarm clock, and drop his head back onto the pillow for another hour of sleep. Daylight was terrible for him. Not literally, never literally, but a narcoleptic couldn't say anything different. The comfort of his bed sucked him in, drew him close like a mother's embrace, only he hadn't felt a mother's embrace in years, and could only imagine it felt as good as this.
He cracked an eye open to complete the cycle. Eyed the clock; still too early. But then he spotted something else that wasn't supposed to be there. A pretty girl. A pretty girl in his bed. As he had no recollection of bringing any girls home the night before, this was a strange occurrence.
Slowly and carefully, Mathias reached out to gingerly tap her arm.
