Despite loving the night sky, and the bright lights that lit up the busy streets in the city. There was something always odd about the quietness of the early morning, the chirps of the birds outside the window and the serene atmosphere that would engulf your entire body. The light that would peek through the closed curtains always made sure to immerse you in the warmth of the bright morning sky, eventually waking you up from your deep slumber. 

Most often than not, you'd wake up from a nightmare, drenched in your own sweat. You'd wake up terrified, as if you'd watch all your friends, family, everyone you'd come to love die in front of you, and all of their blood were on your hands. That was why you always waited, trying your best to not fall asleep, to wait for the warmth that the morning always brings. A gentle reminder, that the light will always cut through the darkness you've trapped yourself in.

But when you awoke the morning after, there was no nightmare to be afraid of. All you were met with was a sleeping Satoru, his arms wrapped around your waist tightly, and his face cuddled up to your chest. You'd occasionally feel his diaphragm and lungs expand, as he softly breathed against your skin. Come to think of it, you haven't had much of the nightmares you were so terrified of, not after Gojo started making his sleepovers turn into, basically living with you. 

The night that the two of you shared was extraordinary. The closeness that the two of you felt, and the connection that was made by only two lovers, it wasn't just sex, it was making love. You felt your cheeks warm up to the thought of it, Satoru made love to you, and it was amazing.
