Rating: Most likely NSFW (will update)

A lazy morning was just what Cormac needed. The stress of actually having an employee and actually being a boss was more than he'd expected, and worse was still working the floor in the evenings. More paperwork and money, but the same work he'd been doing before as well.

He rolled over in bed, the stress waking him earlier than he'd hoped, and he sighed. Maybe he'd get up and make them breakfast, but the thought of getting out of bed just didn't motivate him. So he wrapped an arm around Lavender, buried his nose in her hair, and breathed deeply, trying to relax and get back to sleep.

Lavender thought that she'd made the right call by coming to Cormac's last night, as well as bringing food with her so that he wouldn't have to be disturbed from his work by the thought of cooking. He'd been so used to dealing with the shop solo that hiring Lee Da had obviously thrown him a little.

She'd gone to bed before him, still tired after a few physical days at work during the week, and hadn't stirred for more than a few minutes when he had finally joined her. After sharing a couple of sleepy kisses, she'd been glad to fall back to sleep with Cormac beside her.

Now, though, the sound of Cormac sighing and then the pressure of his arm across her body roused her from light sleep. She took a moment to try and figure out what what going on or if he was still asleep; it wouldn't be the first time that she'd woken up to a little unconscious groping. But no, Cormac didn't normally feel so tense against her back when he held her in his sleep. Exhaling, she covered his hand with hers, squeezing it ever so gently.

Feeling her hold his hand like that made Cormac smile despite his tiredness. She was so reassuring, and he wasn't always convinced she even knew she was doing it. He sighed, less from stress this time and more from a feeling of contentedness settling over him.

"Morning, gorgeous," he mumbled, feeling like her waking - however little she may be awake - was breaking his attempt to fall back asleep. "Sorry if I woke you," keeping his voice low, he didn't move from where his face was covered in her hair.

	"It's alright.," Lavender murmured, keeping her eyes mostly closed. It felt early, she thought, but she wasn't going to look at any sort of timepiece because as soon as she did she knew it would wrench her out of his lovely little bubble of timelessness in Cormac's arms. "You can go back to sleep, if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cormac hummed his happiness, and kissed her hair lightly. "I'd love to but I don't think it's going to happen," he admitted with a sigh.

"I'm sorry things have been hectic, I know work is intense for you and I'd hoped things would calm down on my end so I could be a bit more of... I don't know," he breathed in her scent and moved his body closer to his. He wanted to be a constant in her life, where her work was dangerous and timeless and her schedule more hectic than his, but he was learning as he went with running a business, and it turned out the learning curve was a bigone.

Lavender made a soft noise of agreement, swallowing down a yawn. At a certain point, you just had to admit that you were awake. "Nor me."

Removing her hand from atop his, Lavender reached back to press her hand to his strong thigh. "Don't worry about it. Work will calm down for me." They were about due a lull, Lavender thought. She smiled against the pillow, shifting a little to get comfortable. "Have I told you how proud I am of you lately?"
