I've been up and dressed for an hour and Luna still isn't up so I decide to wake her. Jogging up the stairs, I head into her room where I find her sleeping peacefully in bed with the comforter just below the curve of her bum and her face in the pillow. I love how she still sleeps in my shirt that I gave her the first time I met her. It's still my favorite sight to see in the morning.
Walking up to the bed, I pull the sheets back and climb in on the other side, wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her into me. She snuggles closer and I laugh just before sending a sharp smack to her round, fat, a--.
She slaps me in the chest, turning away from me and falling back to sleep with a huff. I laugh and pull her back into me, placing soft kisses to the back of her neck. For a few seconds she will be mad, but she'll get over it. Most of the time she does.
I squeeze her side and kiss behind her ear. "Come here."
A soft whine leaves her lips, but she still turns into me and wraps her arms around my waist. "How long did you wake me up before my alarm?"
"I think 5 minutes."
"You're so mean," she mumbles against my chest.
"I was bored," I confess.
Her eyes flutter open and lock with mine. "You could've made me breakfast."
No. "It's your turn."
She shakes her head and slips her fingers underneath my shirt, tracing the grooves of my abs. I like when she does that. But I do not like when she tells me that I have to make breakfast because I woke her up from her sleep. When I try to apologize she tells me that she doesn't accept. Laughing, I push her curls out of her face and look down at her slightly freckled nose before placing a kiss to it. It makes her smile and I know I'm forgiven.

Then her alarm goes off and she surprises me with a punch to the arm before pushing off of me and climbing out of bed to her bathroom. I climb out and follow her, but she closes the door in my face.
"Love muffin!" I yell through the door.
I hear her snort. "Your nicknames get worse every time. What do you want?"
"What do you want for breakfast?" I question back.
"Waffles, bacon and eggs."
"Orange juice, apple juice, or coffee?"
The water starts and turns into the spray of a shower. "Coffee. Can you put apple juice in my thermos?"
"Ok."
I head back downstairs knowing that it doesn't take extremely long for Luna to get ready. She showers for no more than 15, brushing her teeth and washing her face while in there. Then she air dries while fixing her hair, finally she slips on her clothes and grabs her satchel that she prepared the previous night. If you're wondering how I know this, we talked about it a month after she had been staying with me.
Like clockwork Luna comes downstairs at 7:45 as I'm plating the food. She wears a form fitting shirt and tight jeans that hug her curves and torture me to no extent. Then she stretches and I can see the slight imprint of her nipples through the cotton fabric of her shirt. Her hair is pulled up into a ponytail, and I know for a fact that I am screwed. Living with Luna has been...something.
Taking her hand before she can reach her prepared plate of food, I pull her into me and look down at her. "Are you wearing a bra?" I question against her ear, moving my grip around to her waist.

All she does is shrug, informing me that it didn't matter if she was wearing one or not because it was none of my concern. That pissed me off a little so I just nod and release her, taking a seat at the island next to her and digging into breakfast. Fifteen minutes later we are leaving the apartment and heading to the bureau.
When we get there I am pissed even more the hell off as Luna's nerd boyfriend approaches. He's a tech geek and seriously obsessed with Luna. It's annoying. Everyone here knows that Luna is off limits and it's not because I want her but because if they try something with her I will kill them. But this boy doesn't back down.
Wrapping my arm around Luna's waist, I hold her against my side and walk to my desk, sitting her in the designated free spot on the corner of my desk. Then I sit in my chair and roll between her legs, resting my head on her thighs. She plays with my hair and turns to the tech geek. I never bothered to learn his name.
I don't listen until I hear him ask her out. Is he blind? I look up to Luna awaiting her answer.
"I would love--"
"CARTER!" David interrupts. "Masbourian."
Shit. Standing to my feet, I turn Luna's attention back to me and place a soft kiss to her ear, whispering, "Say no."
She just looks at me as I walk off and I have no way to know what she's going to say next because there are more important matters than a little boy asking her out.
Masbourian.

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?
