Sterling’s POV:

“Well, hey, they could look formal. Haven’t you seen those really cool masks that are shaped like animal faces?” I asked, sitting down in the bed when I was finished dressing.

Gray’s POV:

I chuckled, looking down at her.

“That’s the first time you did that…” I murmured.

Eden’s POV:

I turned around to give him a deadpanned look.

“All right,” I said after a moment of silence. “We’ll see.”

“It’s the farthest I can currently reach…” I mumbled in response, squeezing my eyes shut and pressing my face against his chest.

(I can’t find any good masks… sigh)

Sterling’s POV:

“What color should we do?” I wondered, smiling up at her and reaching my arms out to her.

Gray’s POV:

I smirked and lowered my head a little.

“Well, let me help,” I chuckled, smirking.

(I found some~)

Eden’s POV:

I thought over it for a moment, walking over to him, to his outstretched arms.

“Purple…” I said after a few seconds of thinking. “Purple and black?”

“M’too tired to initiate anything…” I murmured, words muffled by the fabric of his shirt.

Gray’s POV:

I simply chuckled, shifting so she was laying directly on top of me.

“Comfortable?” I asked her teasingly.

I groaned softly, continuing to hide my face, which was now pink. “It’s too early for you to fluster me like this…”

By now, it was probably clear to him that I was not a morning person.

Gray’s POV:

“But I’m only making my girlfriend more comfortable,” I teased, pulling the covers over us a bit more. “Go back to sleep, love.”

Evidently, my sleepiness had removed any kind of filter I might have had, because the next thing that flew out of my mouth would have put awake-me to shame.

“I’d be more comfortable if you were on top of me…”

Gray’s POV:

I froze when I heard what came out of her mouth. Is this what she’s like when she’s sleepy? If it is… well, can’t say I don’t like it.

I immediately flipped us over so she was underneath me and I was on top, my hands on either side of her to make sure I didn’t squish her under my weight. Then I leaned closer to her ear, stopping when I was barely touching it.

“Like this?”

My eyes flew open, an electric shock ripping straight through the drowsy fog surrounding my brain. Wide awake now, I stared up at Gray, my eyes round from surprise.

“Like—Like that.”

Eden’s POV:

I thought over it for a moment, walking over to him, to his outstretched arms.

“Purple…” I said after a few seconds of thinking. “Purple and black?”

Sterling’s POV:

I pulled her into my lap, her back to my chest, and rested my chin on her shoulder. “That’s fine. I’ll wear a black suit and a purple tie, then.”

Gray’s POV:

I chuckled, looking at her with a deep intensity in my eyes.

“Have I ever told you that you look hot when you wake up?” I said in a low voice, an eyebrow slightly raised, a smirk on my lips. “Especially when you’re under me like this—eyes wide, cheeks pink… lips parted open…”

I wasn’t really going to kiss her, no. I needed to brush my teeth first, but I didn’t have my toothbrush on me. Ugh.

Sterling’s POV:

I pulled her into my lap, her back to my chest, and rested my chin on her shoulder. “That’s fine. I’ll wear a black suit and a purple tie, then.”

Eden’s POV:

When I was sitting on his lap, thankfully I at least reached his neck. I let my head rest against it, my eyes closed.

“It’ll be the first time we’ll make an official announcement of us dating…” I murmured. “At a rich ball, too…”

I let out the tiniest of flustered squeaks, abruptly clamping my mouth shut until my frenzied heartbeat had calmed enough for me to speak again.

“You’re—You’re just going to tease me all morning, aren’t you?”

Gray’s POV:

I grinned at her darkly, a mischievous look in my eyes.

“Am I…?” I leaned forward, closer until the distance between our lips was practically nonexistent. “Why would I do that? And to my beloved, no less?”

“Y-You tell me—“ I choked out, pouring all my efforts into remaining where I was and not pulling his mouth down to mine.

Gray’s POV:

This. This is what I loved the most. When she tries to keep up with me but fails because of my actions, because of what I make her feel. She’s already stuttering, her face getting red… her eyes swimming in desire. For me.

Unfortunately for her, she wasn’t getting anything.

“Well… here’s what I would do to my darling,” I pretended I was going to clasp our lips together firmly, but quickly dug into her sides, running my fingers up and down to tickle her.

I let loose an undignified squeal, trying and failing to jerk away from his fingers as I curled into a tiny ball. “Gray!!”

Sterling’s POV:

“Hm… Well, it’s not like it’ll be my first. It has been a while, though. It’ll be interesting to see who’s there,” I mused.

Gray’s POV:

I held her in place, making sure not to let her slip from my grasp. Man, I made a rather hasty decision. It would have been too embarrassing had she not been ticklish.

I tickled her harder, grinning like a maniac, loving the laughter that escaped her lips. It was like music to my ears.

“Do you want me to stop?” I asked, teasing her.

“Yes!” I gasped, laughter tumbling from my lips. “I’ll do—Anything—I’ll do anything—“

Gray’s POV:

My smirk widened.

“Anything…?” I chuckled darkly. “Do you really mean that, my love?”

“Any-Anything—“ I gasped, curling up tighter in a weak attempt to halt the tickling.

Gray’s POV:

“I’ll hold on to that…” I whispered before letting her go. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we started our day.

I lay back, panting softly.

“Do I get that kiss, now?”

Gray’s POV:

I raised an eyebrow at her forwardness.

“Should you?” I asked, raising an eyebrow before deciding over it. “Well, consider it a prize for being so forward with me.”

I firmly clasped our lips together, softly, for a few seconds before I pulled away.

“That’s not nearly enough,” I complained, reaching up to grab hold of the front of his shirt.

Gray’s POV:

I smirked.

“Well, if it satisfies you…” I leaned in again, pressing our lips together gently, reaching out to cup her cheek softly in one hand while the other remained on her side for balance.
