As the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow into the room, Fizz lay in bed, his eyes heavy with exhaustion from a sleepless night. Clutching a pillow to his chest, he stared into the darkness, his mind consumed by thoughts of Azura's kiss. Every detail of their encounter replayed in his mind like a haunting melody, each moment etched into his memory.

He remembered the strength in her touch as she pinned him against the wall, the intoxicating scent that enveloped him as she drew near. And then, the kiss – a tantalizing taste of the desire he had longed for since their first meeting. Her lips, warm and soft, ignited a fire within him, her tongue a bold invitation he couldn't resist. Even now, as he sat up in bed, exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders, he couldn't shake the memory.

With a weary sigh, Fizz dragged himself out of bed, his steps sluggish as he made his way to the kitchen. And there, at the breakfast table, sat Azura, her presence both a welcome sight and a painful reminder of the tumultuous emotions swirling within him.

Her hair was styled in giant ponytails with striking blue highlights, cascading down her back in a vibrant display of color. She wore a sleeveless grey coat adorned with three pristine-white hearts, each one adding a touch of whimsy to her ensemble. Beneath the coat, a sleeveless dark blue turtlenecked crop-top hugged her figure, its matching hearts on the chest a subtle yet undeniable statement of her allure. Paired with loose black pants cinched at the waist by a belt adorned with a heart-shaped buckle, her outfit exuded a sense of effortless elegance. She was also wearing a pair of sleek Black Block Heel Boots that added a touch of sophistication to her ensemble.

Fizz walked over to the espresso machine, a forced smile playing on his lips as he greeted her. "Uh, morning, Azura," he said, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

But Azura remained engrossed in her phone, offering a distracted "morning" in return. Fizz couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment at her apparent nonchalance towards their kiss from the previous night. It seemed as though she was carrying on as if it had never happened, leaving him feeling unsettled and unsure.

Before he could gather the courage to broach the subject, the sound of Ozzie entering the room interrupted their quiet moment. Ozzie, clad in his usual attire, strolled into the kitchen with his characteristic energy, offering a cheery greeting to Fizz and Azura. "Morning, you two," he said, his voice filled with warmth.

"Mornin', Oz," Fizz responded, mustering a smile despite the turmoil within. Azura echoed the sentiment, offering her own greeting to their friend. "Morning, Ozzie," she said, a smile gracing her lips.

Returning the smiles, Ozzie turned his attention to Azura with a curious inquiry. "Did you sleep well last night?" he asked, genuine concern evident in his voice.

Azura's smile widened as she nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I did," she replied, her tone cheerful.

Fizz couldn't help but feel a pang of envy at her response. "Oh, yeah, I bet you slept great," he muttered under his breath, his mood souring with resentment. Sensing the tension, Ozzie and Azura exchanged puzzled glances, prompting Ozzie to inquire, "Did you say something, Fizzy?"
