Cheescake and Other Sweet Things

They walked into the room, dropping their bag and things beside the bedroom door lazily. "Princess I got cheesecake!" They grinned, setting the to-go box on her desk. When she didn't answer they looked up. She was on the bed laying with her back against the wall and her arms and legs sprawled out and her body curved. They stifled a laugh. They sat down beside her and brushed the whisps of hair from her face, tracing down her cheek to her jaw. She hummed softly and shifted. They continued tracing her face and smiling. "Hello darling."

"Hi baby," she mumbled sleepily. She shifted again, this time curling around closer to them. "Mmm sleeping."

They laughed. "I can see that." They leaned down to kiss her forehead and as the pulled away, she wrapped her arms around their torso and rolled over so they were on their back and she was practically on top of them. She buried her face in their chest and smiled. They blushed and wrapped their arms around her. "Lemme give you kisses," they whined.

"Mmmmmh," she groaned. "Sleepinggg cuddlesss." She held onto the tighter and pressed her face into their shirt.

They stammered a second before deciding on a sentence, "Fine then."

She whined and progressively got louder until she shoved her head up again and rested her chin on their chest. She pouted.

"Pout aaaall you want princess." They huffed. She whined again and leaned forward. They turned their head away. She groaned and flopped back down again. They grinned and flipped over, grabbing her arms from around them and pinning them by her head. Her eyes went wide. "Satasfied?" They asked, leaning down closer to her. She blushed bright pink and nodded slowly. They leaned in close, almost touching her, and pulled away again. She frowned, tugging at their hands to pull them back to her but they kept her arms down. She whined and pouted. They stifled and laugh and kissed her cheek.

"You missed," she mocked them from another day.

"Did I?" They asked and she nodded. They pretended to think a moment before leaning down to kiss her. When they pulled away, they brushed the hair from her face and rolled away to lay beside her. She looked at them and slipped her hand into theirs.

"Sooo what's this about cheesecake?" She asked quietly, stumbling over her words.
