First Persona fic! Hope y'all like!
Bright light made its way through the bedroom where the young couple slept. It moved across the floor and wall as the sun rose, soon making its way over to the sleeping student's eyes. Ren grumbled, rudely awakened by the stinging sensation in his eyes and sighing at himself for having forgotten to close the blinds last night. The last few days of exams had been brutal and while he was confident that he'd place well within the top 50 in his school, that didn't make him any less tired. Combine that with the events that had transpired last night...
...
Looking to his side, he saw his lover still deep in slumber. Her cream-colored locks sprawled all over the pillow they shared, some strands even making their way over to his face. She shifted slightly, moving her satin-gloved arms across his chest and brought him closer to the point where her mouth was inches away from his neck. He smiled as he watched her sleep so peacefully and moved a hand over to touch her cheek, to which she smiled gently. Looking down, he could see her red tubetop having been pushed down to reveal her breasts, bringing him back to the events of last night. He remembered her laying on his bed wearing her "Sexy Santa" costume that she had bought online, her head hanging upside-down over the edge and her arms wide open, giving him a warm welcome. He remembered teasing her about her appearance, pretending to look unimpressed and peering over her shoulder as if the window behind her was open and there was someone spying on them. Her confident exterior quickly shattering, she immediately shrieked and covered herself, giving Ren the opportunity to pounce. They then spent the rest of the night trying to make up for the time they spent apart.
She shifted once more, causing the blanket to slip down her neck. Ren quickly pulled it back up again, eager to keep her warm but also to keep the view for himself. Considering they were the reason why he was up so early, he wasn't about to give the rays the satisfaction of seeing her body.
Slightly lifting the blanket they shared, he feasted his eyes on the rest of her body from her smooth face all the way down to her naked waist. Besides her tubetop, her red high-socks and satin gloves were all that remained of her costume after last night, with the rest having been tossed all over his room.
"Mm…"
Ann's eyebrows noticeably furrowed and immediately Ren put his hand over her face to block out the light to which she relaxed again. Steeling himself, he finally removed the blanket from his side of the bed and tiptoed across the cold, hardwood floor to close the shutters while also managing to avoid whatever remnants of Ann's costume that had been tossed throughout his room. He sighed as he sat on the bed, careful not to wake her. Seeing as how he was already wide awake, falling asleep now would be a hassle. Maybe now was a good time to be productive and do something special for her. Slipping another pillow between Ann's arms to make her more comfortable, Ren quickly changed into his track pants and a T-shirt and made his way downstairs.
"Better go make breakfast…"
Ren smiled in satisfaction as the smell of fried eggs and bacon welcomed its way into his nose. A year of working for Sojiro and having several part-time jobs had done well to inspire him to become self-sufficient, and soon it didn't take long for him to be able to cook meals for himself. Even his parents were surprised to the point where they really didn't know what their roles in the house were anymore now that their son, studious as he was, now knew how to take care of things himself.
Sprinkling black pepper onto the eggs, he grabbed one and took a bite before judging the taste to be acceptable for consumption. Considering he was making this for his girlfriend, for the meal to be too salty or too bland was unacceptable.
Piling the adequate amount of eggs and bacon onto a plate to support Ann's ample appetite, he turned off the stove and tried to find a small table before feeling a pair of warm arms wrap around him from behind.
"Good morning." she yawned, evidently still fatigued.
"Good morning." Ren whispered back, turning around to face her. "You shouldn't be up so early."
Taking a good look at her, he noticed Ann had made no adjustments to herself nor her outfit, as her hair remained ruffled and chest and waist completely exposed. Instinctively, he looked around his house, trying to see if any window was left uncovered before remembering they were within his home and not the cafe, where there wasn't a huge window at the entrance. While he might've covered her in ordinary situations, seeing as how she had done this all for him, he couldn't complain especially since he enjoyed it quite a bit. Of course, he'd never say it to her outright.
Ann then shook her head, tightening her embrace. "I can't just go back to sleep after having you cook breakfast. What if it gets cold?"
"Breakfast can wait. I can just reheat it after."
Before giving her a chance to protest, Ren immediately lifted her off her feet, eliciting a small yelp from the model, and made his way upstairs with her in his arms. Ann immediately wrapped her gloved arms around his neck, desperate not to fall and leaving her chest completely exposed to him. Ren made sure to go up the stairs one step at a time, making sure to savor the gift. That is until he felt a light slap across his face.
"Don't stare. It's embarrassing." she giggled.
"Sorry, it's just the things you said last night made me think otherwise."
At those words, Ann flushed a shade of red darker than that of her clothes and gave Ren another slap to the face. Ren laughed loudly in response and hurried to the bedroom, eager to be within the warmth of her arms and a blanket. Setting her down gently, he reached down to the end of the bed and pulled the cotton blanket over the both of them, before wrapping his arms around her, protecting her from the cold air.
Ann, being the shorter of the pair, nuzzled her face into Ren's neck and before grabbing his face and pulling him into a deep kiss.
Even though her lips were soft and warm like they always were, they always somehow had a hypnotic effect on him. It was as if she had cast a charming spell on him with every kiss. It was something he could never grow tired of, and with each kiss he felt himself falling deeper in love. Overwhelmed by the feeling, Ren's eyes fluttered closed and slowly he turned his head to the side to deepen the kiss, pouring months of longing into a single kiss.
Moans slipped from out of their mouths as they both fought for dominance, both eager to show the other who loved and missed the other more. Soon, Ann felt her lungs cry out for air and eventually forced herself to break away.
Ren smirked as he watched Ann cough and avoid his gaze, unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost. That he loved and missed her more.
His smirk now replaced by a grin, he took one arm and wrapped it around her waist and used his other hand to gently stroke her hair. Ann, in return, settled on lazily drawing circles over his chest.
"I love you." the model whispered, reaching up to kiss his cheek.
"I love you more." he replied, kissing her forehead.
"No you don't."
And within that moment, everything seemed right in the world.
They continued lying within each other's arms, content with one another until a certain realization took over Ren.
"Ah, wait. I forgot something."
"Hm?"
Forcing himself to move out of the comfort that was Ann's arms, he reached from under his bed and pulled out a small red box wrapped in a ribbon.
"It's for you. I know it's a little early for a Christmas present, but I wanted to give this to you before you got called back for another shoot." he said, smiling as he handed it to her. "Open it."
She raised an eyebrow as she undid the ribbon, unsure of what could be kept in such a small box. The moment she opened it, however, she immediately grasped and placed her gloved hand over her mouth.
Ren's heart suddenly started beating faster and he clenched his fists, unsure of what the gasp meant. His mind then went back to their first date back in their second year of high school when they walked around the underground shopping mall. He vividly remembered her admiring the ring in one of the stores. Since then he had worked tirelessly to make enough money just so he could buy it for her. It certainly wasn't easy having to juggle Phantom Thief work with part-time work and school, but since it was for her, he was sure the stress from the meager hours of sleep would be worth it. Considering he hadn't told her anything about buying it, he hoped the surprise would pay off and prayed she hadn't already bought it for herself.
"Oh Ren…" she said, slipping the ring onto her gloved hand. "I love it. It's so pretty."
"Glad you like it." he said, feeling his heart settle down and giving her a deep kiss to express his love.
Both smiled at the other before moving in to touch each other's foreheads.
"What are your plans for today?" Ann asked, holding up her hand to the ceiling to showcase the ring.
"Hmm, well, other than to finish up giving you a tour of my hometown, nothing much. Why?" he replied.
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Am I?"
At that moment, Ann used his chest to push herself up until she was sitting on top of him, her exposed body shown in all its glory. Before Ren could get the blanket to cover her, she immediately grabbed his hands and pinned them down on the bed.
"You honestly don't think we fully made up for the time we spent apart did you?"
No he didn't.
No he didn't.
