Here Comes the Sun

Chapter 12-Really, Really.

Rose's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and stretched my arms above my head. Danny promptly pulled me against him, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck and kissing it.

"Well good morning" I mumbled as I felt the butterflies stir in my stomach.

"Morning" he replied in his raspy morning voice, "I'm glad you're finally awake"

"Oh yeah," I turned to face him, kissing his lips. "Why's that?" I asked as my heart started beating faster,

"Because I'm starving" He said dramatically. I burst into a fit of giggles,

"That is not what I was expecting you to say" I said as I brushed hair from his face while he laughed, "How long have you been waiting for me to wake up?"

"Just like an hour or so" He shrugged

"Danny! Why didn't you wake me up or go get something from the kitchen." I said as I sat up,

"Not going to lie I was kind of terrified I'd run into your brother." he said shyly, "And I could never wake you up, you're too cute when you sleep" He added as he kissed the tip of my nose

"Well lets go cook breakfast then," I laughed as I got up, sliding on a pair of cotton shorts to go with Danny's shirt. I saw Danny starting to put on jeans and quickly stopped him, "Let me go get you a pair of Lucas's sweats so you can be in comfy clothes"

"Are you sure he won't mind?" Danny asked sweetly,

"He won't. I do his laundry anyways" I said back as I walked to Lucas's room. Thorne wasn't in there and I peeked into the living room, seeing that he wasn't there either. "Also Thorne isn't here, so you're safe for now" I said as I handed him the sweats.

"I thought I heard him leave earlier but wasn't sure" He replied,

"Yeah, he's probably at the gym or out for a run or something" I shrugged as Danny put on the pants and followed me to the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast?" I opened the door to the pantry and peered in. Danny walked up behind me, placing his hands on my hips and resting his chin on the top of my head,

"Pancakes?" He suggested, pointing to the mix sitting on the shelf.

"Sounds good to me," I grabbed the box and asked Danny to grab a bowl out of the cabinet. "I like adding cinnamon sugar to the mix so they kind of taste like cinnamon rolls, is that ok with you?"

"That sounds delicious actually," He replied as he put the bowl next to me. I poured the water into the mix as Danny leaned against the counter and watched me mix the ingredients, a soft smile on his face.

"What?" I asked sheepishly with a smile,

"Nothing, I just, I like being here and doing things like this with you," He said, leaning down to kiss me on the cheek. I felt my cheeks blush,

"I like doing things like this with you too," I kept my eyes on the bowl, suddenly feeling shy "I can't decide if I added enough cinnamon" I said as I stirred

"Well, lets give it a taste," He dipped his finger into the batter, bringing it to my lips but promptly smearing it across my face. I gasped and he burst into laughter, I couldn't help but smile,

"You know what, I think YOU need to taste test it," I said taking the whisk from the bowl, and flicking it towards him. Batter splashed on his face and some on his bare shoulder and pecs. His mouth fell open in shock as he looked down at his chest and then his mischievous eyes landed on me. I threw my head back laughing,
