Eric's POV
I woke up feeling better than I had in a long time. Thanks to Charles, I was feeling a lot more relaxed. The massage he gave me definitely worked, mein gott it felt amazing.
Suddenly, I realised there was a small arm draped about my waist. I rolled over and smiled at the sight of a sleeping Charles. He looked so peaceful. His eyes blinked open; I was now staring into his bright blue eyes.
"Morning Eric." He mumbled.
"Good morning Charles." I whispered.
I placed me hand on the back of Charles' head then pulled him into a soft kiss.
"Wa's the time?" He murmured, one side of his face buried in his pillow.
I chuckled, his normally immaculate hair was all over the place, he looked adorable.
Checking my watch, I saw that it was 6:30am.
"It's 6:30 dear." I smiled.
Charles groaned "I don't wanna move."
I shook my head in amusement, that man certainly wasn't a morning person. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close, "well we don't have to move quite yet."
Charles wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back. Even though he was a lot smaller, he always managed to make me feel safe and at home.
"Good." He whispered.
We stayed in eachother's arms for a little while longer until we both had to eventually move.
