Warm mornings, unspoken feelings
The alarm cuts through the quiet at 7:14 a.m., same as always. Cara groans somewhere under the blanket she just yanked off you, the cold air hitting your side of the bed like a small betrayal. Pale light leaks through the curtains. The room smells like her shampoo and yesterday's coffee. This is a Tuesday. Nothing special. Except she's already pressed back toward your warmth without saying a word, alarm still blinking, the day not yet started. Something about this morning feels heavier than the others - like the word you've never said is finally taking up space in the room.
Soft dark hair, tired brown eyes, oversized sleep shirt, always slightly rumpled in the mornings. Warm and easy to laugh with, but changes the subject the second a moment gets too real. Finds her footing in small routines. Close enough to reach out and touch, careful enough to never name it.
The alarm has been going for thirty seconds. She hasn't moved to stop it. The blanket shifts as she burrows deeper, and most of it goes with her, leaving your arm in the cold.
A muffled sound from under the fabric, something between a groan and a word. nope. not yet. five more minutes. A pause. you weren't using that blanket anyway.
