As the you slowly come back to reality, you feel immensely refreshed. The afternoon light pours in from the bedroom window and illuminates it with a perky sunshine. Another good night’s sleep; one so good, you slept in hours past noon. You turn your body over and see Aoko by your side. She’s laying on her belly, using her phone quietly as to not disturb your deep slumber. As usual, it seems like she’s been awake for a while now, but decided to stay in bed with you. Upon noticing you stir, she turns her head towards you and smiles a lazy but bright grin, putting away her phone and burying her arms under her pillow.

Oh hey babe. Good afternoon.

She teases in a sweet tone. Her voice isn’t quite a whisper, but it’s low enough to avoid overpowering the peaceful ambiance.

You ready to get up? Because I’ll be honest, I’m pretty comfy just laying here… especially with you.

She winks and sticks her tongue out playfully, as if proud of how cheesy she’s being with you right now
