A/N: This was more of an idea based off of a conversation I had earlier today lmao

To start the day by his side was the best feeling in the world, no, scratch that, the universe. She knew she was lucky to be there with Barry, even after he had blown up on the Internet. Feeling his arms snake around her waist, Ruby settled slightly, before he began kissing down the back of her neck and then buried his face into the crook of it, mumbling randomness softly in that gorgeous Irish accent. Ruby was so in love with him, and she could tell you a million reasons why if you asked. Trying not to move too much, she reached to grab her phone to check the time. 8:51am. Great. That meant they could stay in bed and not have to venture into the cold winter air that had taken over their home.

Barry's arms gently pulled her closer, just to remind her that she was in fact his and no one else's. They had a habit of communicating in subtle physical ways rather than verbal. Ruby just leaned on him gently, holding his hand as they cuddled up to each other under the covers. Nothing would ever keep them apart. They had already established this. Turning in his arms, Ruby looked up at him, cupping his face in her hands. Everything about this man made her so unbelievably happy. She gently placed a kiss on his cheek, hearing him yawn out in that gorgeous morning voice,

"Good morning, Darlin'."

That made her heart flutter more than anything he had ever said to her, except maybe the first time he told her the three words everyone wants to hear; 'I love you.'

Ruby smiled up at him, "Good morning, sleepyhead." She messed up his hair a little. This man couldn't be perfect all the time. That was literally impossible, right? Wrong, especially in her eyes. She just stayed there, admiring him as they took a moment to adjust to waking up. Yawning, she then buried her head into his shoulder, getting comfy in his arms. It was winter, so it was still dark outside, and the only thing keeping the two of them safe from the biting cold was the duvet covers that they had wrapped around them like a cocoon, and each other's body heat. It was nice. All was calm and peaceful in the world, even with the craziness of their lives outside this house.

Leaning down, a gentle kiss was exchanged between the two,soon becoming a deep kiss that was full of that pure kind of love that felt like a drug. Addictive. Of course, it wasn't like they needed to be overly affectionate, so the kiss wrapped up pretty quickly, before Ruby dragged herself out of bed, deciding she had to get up to at least take a hot shower. This wasn't ignored by Barry, who protested to her leaving the bed by throwing a pillow at her, before they both laughed it off. It was nice to have someone who understood you like they understood each other. In the end, that's what made it worth it. Possessing unconditional love was something many could not claim, but they could. Throughout everything, they were there for each other. Always and forever <3
