0 days.

Y/N's mind felt awfully clouded when she woke up the next morning, filled with thoughts from the previous night after sleeping a not-so dreamless sleep. The ball, the dancing, the punch, the... other details, all of which passed her mind like a wave of remembrance.

She found herself laying in her bed, tangled in sheets and a pair of arms that seemed to cling onto her tightly. Goddamn sheets, right?

Her back was pressed against his chest from where they lay, one of his arms sprawled out over her t-shirt, connecting with her hand in front of her whilst his other arm wrapped around her middle. A wing draped over her frame, nearly covering her whole with it's abnormal size - not that she minded, of course. She found it rather comforting, really, viewing it as a shield that protected her from the rest of the world. Hot, steadied breaths were felt against the back of her neck, tickling her skin with warmth.

Overall, her situation was pretty great. Peaceful.

X lay awake, of course, but tranquil. His fingers had been drawing light patterns into her skin all night and morning - mostly into her hands. Now his second-favourite feature, after recently discovering her addictive, swollen lips. He loved watching the smiles that formed on them during her slumber, finding it both amusing and adorable.

Soon enough, he discovered her to be finally awake, his grin widening as he moved down to press a gentle kiss to the underside of her jaw and alert her of his awareness. Her hand slipped out of his to run through his hair, earning a quiet chuckle from the deity at the contact.

"Hi." She whispered, feeling him rest his head back into her palm.

"Hi." He whispered back, his smile more than clear in his tone. Once she returned her hand back into his own, he pushed his face back into her neck, her hair tickling his cheek and nose.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, feeling her adjust slightly into a more comfortable position in his hold.

'Do you even have to ask?', she thought to herself, her voice feeling too sleep-driven to say the words out-loud. She knew he could hear her, either way. Confirming her intellect, he chuckled quietly to himself at her words, his voice sending vibrations through her back and body.

"I suppose not." He hummed in agreement, "But it's nice to know you think of me when you're asleep, too." His head shuffled down, pressing a small kiss between her shoulder blades.

Her mouth fell open in disbelief, her hand flying back as a scoff of a laugh passed her lips. The back of her hand hit his shoulder, as he feigned a sound of pain from the 'strong' impact.

"Oh, shut up!" She laughed, earning a similar sound from the deity just behind her who resumed his position back against her neck. The calm atmosphere was soon revived once their laughter died down, the only sound remaining being the occasional huffs of air the pair let out.

After the events of last night, well... happened, X had flown Y/N home right from the balcony, who then insisted he stayed over to keep her company. And who is he to refuse his lady's request? He accepted, leading them to be wrapped in bedsheets and peppered in shared, small kisses and affection all the way until sunrise. Neither could get enough of one another, XD probably more-so than Y/N. After discovering and growing more comfortable with his new emotions and feelings, he wanted nothing more than to use them. It wasn't as if he had all the time in the world, anyway - especially with today being the final day of the deal. Might as well make the most of it.

Clearing his throat, X sat his chin on her shoulder, his eyes remaining shut.

"So... today's the day." He reminded her, feeling her stiffen slightly once the words passed his lips. It took her a second or two to actually recall what he was referring to before the realisation actually sunk in. It caused her mood to shift pretty quickly into one of slight unease, her breathing halting pretty quickly. The idea of the deal completely passed her mind after last night, a certain distraction becoming a priority.
