Waking up in Tooru's bedroom was never an agenda you had in mind when he invited you over yesterday, maybe you did but on a different occasion. The sun naturally brightened the room to wake your drooling form sprawled across the white king-sized bed. A foot away was your ringing cellphone plugged to an extension cord off the floor, waking you in your blissful sleep to answer to whoever was calling you so early in the morning.

It was almost a quarter to nine and you spat at the time. The six hours of sleep you had felt like five minutes.

"Hello?" You muffled from underneath the pillow, not bothering to look at the name on your screen.

But the familiar voice automatically made you picture a silver haired woman.

"Guess what bitch! You have no clue what just happened last night!"

Hearing Naomi's voice was proof that she didn't get killed last night by Ushijima, however, the way she screeched into your ear through the phone made you want to murder her instead.

You had to inch the phone away by her booming voice.

"Can we talk later?" The sleepiness was so evident, your voice lowly grumbled in annoyance.

"Uh, you're the one who said you're expecting my call the next day or else you would've caught Toshi's dick off," she reminded with arrogance. Did she say 'Toshi' as in Ushijima Wakatoshi?

"'Toshi'?" Then your eyes shot of your sockets and gripped the phone in your hand. "'Toshi'?! Since when did you give him a nickname?"

"Last night! When he-"

"Don't say it!" You stopped her from saying anything else that would make your ears bleed. "I'd rather hear all of it when I'm highly caffeinated or drunk."

She sighed with light frustration and eagerness oozing from her breath. "Fine, fine. Where are you right now? Should I come over and say it to you there?"

Her insistence made you groan and roll over the bed to lay on your back. You spoke mindlessly. "I'm not home right now. Maybe in a bit."

"What do you mean you're not home? Didn't you just wake- oh...." Naomi paused when realization hit her and you can visualize her gaping lips growing into a knowing grin. She snickered behind the phone to your demise and you instantly regret for picking up her call. "Did you sleep over at Daddykawa's house? You sly bitch. Don't tell me he gave you sneaky, freaky hickies!"

You simply ignored her degradation by tuning out her excitement, rambling on and on about her assumptions and questionnaire how you and 'Daddykawa' got to bed, which it totally went the opposite for you.

Before you had the chance to reply to her about your unforgettable night, the door to the bedroom creaked open, revealing a head in between the cracks. Curious eyes and brown locks greeted you shyly as Tetsu hid behind the door in silence. But his eyes widened when he saw that you were already awake, beaming a wide smile.

"[Name]! Good morning!" The little boy ran towards the bed and clambered his way up to your side. When he landed on your stomach, the glimmer of adornment shone through his chocolate brown optics as you uttered a small 'oof' by his weight. "And you're wearing Daddy's clothes!"

Tetsu's voice was overheard as your best friend came to a halt in the middle of her babbling.

"Looks like I'm disturbing! I'll leave you playing house with them!" Naomi proclaimed through the phone before hanging up without your farewell. You panicked, knowing that she was going to bombard you with a huge congratulation later on. You can sense it.

Now your attention is diverted to the child in his small spaceship-printed onesie sitting on your lap. "Did you sleep okay? Did my alien protect you from the monsters?"

The early morning and wake up call didn't make it easier for you to adjust your eyes on the little boy and his endearing excitement.

You smiled once your mouth broke out a yawn and your hand rubbing your dry eye. "Oh yeah. He fought a big monster under my bed and scared it away."

He seemed to be amazed at your answer, eyes growing big.

"I always tell Daddy that there's a monster in here but he doesn't believe me!" Tetsu's mouth gaped at your story and you had to gasp in return, playing along with his innocence.

"Oh, no. You should give him your alien when he goes to sleep so the monster doesn't come back," you advised gently.

He even nodded at that, and made a promise to give his favorite toy to his dad from this day forward. Just when you were about to urge him to leave you, Tetsu pulled on your hand to get you crawling off the bed to follow his lead.

"Come on, [Name]. Daddy told me to help you brush your teeth when you wake up," the small child demanded and you had to chuckle to hide your dismay. You honestly wanted to sleep some more but you couldn't tell him 'no' by how excited he was to see you at his house.

This time, he gets to start his day with you.

"Erm, where's your Daddy, Tetsu?" You realized that the taller brunette was no where to be found once you pulled in the hallway, being led to a different area of the penthouse.

He turned back, still pulling you down the hall with your hand in his. "Daddy is in bathroom but he's going to make breakfast soon!"

"I see, I see," you nodded, amazed at the idea of Tooru is so willing to cook after staying up all night with you - kissing you, or you kissing him to correct yourself. The memory made your face burn in embarrassment as you felt somewhat guilty for taking advantage of him. A slick dog you were, Naomi would love to hear this story in person.

Your time with Tetsu in the bathroom was underwhelming to say the least. When he said he was going to help you brush your teeth, he totally meant it. By flashing you a spare toothbrush and face towel, he instructed you on how to brush your teeth with a little cup of water in his hand for you to rinse your mouth in. You weren't so sure if you're flattered at Tetsu's care or annoyed at Tooru if this is his way of humiliating you.

If so, he has a funny way of doing it.

After a few pats of your face, you turned back to the boy who still lingered inside the bathroom, sitting on top of the toilet cover for you to be done so he can assist you. With his presence around, you felt more nervous the more he stared at you intently.

The second you were finished, he grabbed your hand again to drag you out of the bathroom.

Tetsu tried to hurry you to his room but you halted him before he began to bolt down the hall with you behind him. He looked back curiously. "Come on, [Name]! I want to show you my toys."

"Just let me get my phone first, okay?" And he nodded before you turned to the direction to the bedroom you previously slept in.

Trudging on the gray wood of the penthouse, you noticed steam fanning underneath the crack of a door as a faint scent of peach shampoo emitted through the air. But you instantly knew who was behind that door taking a hot shower, or was.

Suddenly, the door flung open and you jumped at the spitting image in front of your innocent eyes that aren't so innocent now. Because standing in his glory is Tooru in a towel that's clinging to his waist so loosely, revealing a distinguished v-line peeking right in between his pelvis. A small tattoo of Tetsu's name in Kanji etched on the area of his heart in black and another tattoo of a sun with a stoic face at the peak of his arm.

You gulped as you can scope out the tiny droplets of water trickling down slowly from his damp hair to the lines of his hard pecs and defined abs.

What is he, a sculpture made by Michelangelo?

While you were in the middle of your chokehold, the tall man simply rubbed the side of his head with a smaller towel before draping it down to his neck, unaware of your stare until he walked out of the bathroom casually.

"Oh, [Name]. What a pleasant surprise. You're awake," Tooru greeted you with a smile almost mockingly, not at all minding his naked form so exposed to you. In fact, he was standing quite proudly with his hand at his hip.

"Why are you naked?!" You screeched like a mad woman, resisting yourself from aiming your eyes down at his beautiful chest and kept them up at his glowing face.

He laughed. "Well, I can't shower with clothes on, can I? Sorry, I wanted to grab a set of clothes in my room but I didn't want to disturb you sleeping."

"You shouldn't mind me. It is your room, after all," you told him.

"Now, it wouldn't look good of me to walk in naked while a lady is sleeping. You have low expectations of me, [Name]," he reminded while hoisting the towel at his waist higher, distracting you horribly from the conversation. A pout formed on his lips a second after and he groaned, "I don't know if I should be insulted, but it sounds like to me..." he tapped his chin with his eyes up, "... that you wanted me to walk in naked."

"W-Who the hell would want that?" stammering, now is not the time for you to feel nervous under his alluring stare that is screaming for your admission.

"Hm, I don't know. Someone who kissed me."

At the last part, he leaned his head close to your ear and you can hear the taunt in his velvet voice. The sweet scent and hot warmth from his shower radiated from him body as he neared and then brushed pass your dazed state with a winning smirk. You thought your heart was going to explode.

"Oh, and by the way," he stopped and turned to look at you. His finger was slightly pointing at the corner of his lips as he gave a teasing smile, "You got, um... a bit of drool on you."

With your face reddening at his word, the back of your wrist rubbed furiously at your mouth as a soft chuckle sang through him, walking away before you can beat him to a pulp.

What an interesting morning to wake up to.
