'Darling..~' The world echoed in my head. The voice speaking it was low and raspy. It made me feel warm. The warmth caused my eyes to flutter open. I was welcomed with the familiar mask resting next to my face. It took me a moment before my eyes fully adjusted. The room was dim with the glow of a candle that was on the side table.

"V...What time is it?" 'It's about six thirty.' I groaned. He laid down by my side. I reached over to grab onto him before I realized he's in comfortable clothing. Something that wasn't so...dark. He was comfortable and I could tell by the tension in the room he knew he was comfortable. He took me into his warm brace as our bodies got close to each other.

'Darling...' I purred in response. I was tired. I wanted to rest. I was extremely tired. 'Are you ready for today?' I whimpered in response. He chuckled. It got warm again. 'You're flustered in the morning..' His voice this low caused the hair on my back to stand. I was in between being warm and cold.

I felt his fingers run up and down the side of my body. He lifted my shirt and I felt it. He didn't have his glove on. It was his actual hand. Skin on skin. I gasped slightly as I kept it to myself. Feeling his touch left me deprived of feeling someone else's skin. He got close to me as he pulled me into him. I was completely laying underneath his head. He didn't feel the need to move the mask so he didn't. I'm assuming.

He started to rub my back more as I yawned. He was comfortable. His touch left me wanting more. I wanted to feel more of him. I kept to myself though. 'What's wrong?' I shook my head. "Nothing.." 'You're flexing under my touch.' I bit my lip. I tried to keep myself calm.

"I'm okay." He chuckled softly. 'You should get ready, soon. We have an early morning.' I groaned. I could feel him moving to get up as I felt myself grabbing onto him and pulling him back to me. I needed him by my side right now. He fell back down onto me as I wrapped myself around him. 'Darling...What's wrong?'

"Just...please let me have this. I need you right now. I went how long without seeing you? I just want a moment with you. Just us." I heard him sigh as he laid back down with me. We both knew we needed each other. Even if he didn't want to say it, I knew he needed this too. We haven't had a moment to be in each other's touch like this in a while.

'I suppose we can just stay here today. We can do the shopping this weekend. Would you rather do that?' I nodded. 'Alright, if Thomas comes to ask I will explain it to him. But today it's just you and me.' I smiled. I yawned as he started to move to make himself more comfortable I assumed. "Do you sleep with that mask on?" He chuckled. 'No, darling. I don't.' I decided to try to test the waters.

"Then why don't you take your mask off to get more comfortable?" He chuckled. 'Darling, the point of this mask is to be unknown by the entire population. That was part of the point years ago and now that I'm back I'd like it to stay like that.' I moved and sat up. "So are you saying you don't trust me?"

'I do, but I want to stay unknown.' I sighed. As much as I wanted to see him, I wanted to respect his wishes even more. I allowed myself to fall back down to his side. I cuddled into the warmth of his body. He was comfortable. I yawned as I felt his hand gently going through my hair. I started to fall back into the slumber I was at once before.
