It wasn't every day you and Shouto ended up like this; sprawled out on his bed together with your back pressed against his chest and his arm thrown lazily around your waist. But after a late-night study session, that ran up until two in the morning, you both called it a night and decided to let your brains relax. You had woken up a few hours later, much to your dismay, eyes heavy with drowsiness as you tried to adjust to the darkness of the room. There was a small amount of light coming in from the window and you figured it was sunrise. You notice the mess of papers and textbooks on the floor and in a rush of memories, formulas, and pictures of right triangles flood your head, making it pound. You grimace and turn your body around in Shouto's bed, coming face-to-face with your sleeping boyfriend. Your weariness ebbs slightly and your mind clears as you take in the sight before you.

Shouto's usual stoic expression and furrowed brows have vanished and instead, he looked calm and serene. You can't help the smile that tugs the corners of your lips at the way he looks.

So cute.

Unconsciously you bring your hand up to trace the features on his face, starting with his jawline. You place your fingers daintily across his jaw, starting from his ear and stopping at his chin. You move up and lightly tap your index finger to his lips, feeling his warm breath escape his slightly parted lips. You wondered if when you touched him, fires erupted on his skin just like when he would touch you. If he felt weightless yet heavy at the same just from a simple touch. Your touch lingers for a second as your mind wanders to his lips. So kissable. So soft. Your hand starts moving again in an attempt to break your trance on his lips and travel towards the curves of his cheekbone.

He's so pretty.

You pause once you reach scared skin. The end that met his softer skin was jagged as your eyes raked over Shouto's major source of insecurity. You knew the story behind the scar. You knew how he felt about it. Yet you persisted; your fingertips ghosting over the taut skin under his eye. You wondered if it hurt. It was an old scar. Scars usually healed over and just became a part of you after time, but you've never had a scar as bad as Shouto's. You grazed the ends of his eyelashes and they fluttered against your touch. You retracted your fingers for just a moment to see his eyes blink open. You don't register his hand on your wrist until he moves it closer to his face. His eyes are wide open now and staring directly back at you as he places his lips on your wrist in a quick kiss. It's simple and sweet, but it has your heart racing and you're sure he can feel your heartbeat through the pulse point on your wrist.

"Good morning, beautiful." He murmurs as he continues to pepper kisses along your palm. His voice is laced with sleep and you feel your cheeks warming; both at being caught and from the sound of his voice. "What were you doing?" He asks as he rests your hand on the side of his face.

"Nothing. You look so peaceful when you're sleeping." You respond as you continue along the imaginary path on his face. His lips curve upward in a smile as you outline his bottom lip with your finger. You smile back and meet his gaze with your own. His heterochromatic eyes stared back at you lovingly before he moved forward to lean his forehead on yours.

"I'm peaceful because I have you in my arms." He whispers as he kisses the tip of your nose. You let out a cross between a groan and a laugh as you push your head into Shotuo's chest.

"You're so cheesy, Shou." You respond as his arms come around the wrap themselves around you.

"You make me cheesy." He continues his teasing with a small smirk on his face as he feels you push your face into his shirt, groaning at him. His chest rumbles with laughter and he pushes you closer to him, without suffocating you, as he rubs imaginary patterns on your back.

"Are you done?" You ask as you peek your head out to look up at him.

"Maybe." He's smirking and you can't help but smile and roll your eyes at him. Never would you have thought the Shouto Todoroki would be this cheesy. He was always so quiet and awkward when you first started dating in high school; too hesitant to hold your hand even. And now that you're 4 years into your relationship, he's more comfortable around you- it's like he's a different person. In a good way of course. "How'd you sleep?" He questions as you curl back up into his chest. His warmth tempts you to fall back into a deep sleep.

"Great. You?" You ask as you close your eyes and bask in the warmth Shoto had to offer.

"Great." He copies your answer and places his lips on the crown of your head, leaving multiple small kisses in the same spot. You don't think you've stopped smiling ever since you woke up a few minutes ago and you don't think you'd ever smiled so much at being up this early in the morning. It was all because of Shouto.

A troubling thought popped into your head as you turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It read 8 o'clock. Shit.

"Shou, school starts in, like, 20 minutes."
