Morning comes and the steady stream of sunlight seeps through the curtains of their shared
apartment. The birds are chirping, and the neighborhood is up and rather busy for a Sunday
morning. A stark contrast to the raging, heavy rains last night, making nights colder than they
really are. The sun is bright and early, and warmth embraces her as she shifts in her sleep. Xiao
Zhan stares with a fond smile, and silently rearranges the blankets to keep her warm. He grabs a
shirt on the way out, but not before turning off the alarm in case it woke her up.
Walking to the kitchen, he checks on the fridge and grabs bacon, eggs and starts on their breakfast.
The aromatic smell of the coffee machine, and the soft sizzling in the pan spreads throughout the
silent apartment. He sets the table and feeds their cat, Ari, and waters the little plants in the balcony.
He heads to the bedroom and notices she moved to his side of the bed. Blankets unruly, he softly
walks near her and nudges her gently.
“Hey, babe,” smile never leaving his face, “good morning. Breakfast?”
Her sweater paws slowly rise to her eyes, which only results for his smile to widen. She’s really
cute. He thinks to himself. Instead he says, “Come on, sunshine. Wake up, breakfast is waiting.”
Of course, like the little clingy brat she is, stomps her feet on air and whines. “But the bed is so
comfy,” her lower lip protruding and eyes fluttering. She truly knows his weakness. And he knows
her weakness, too.
His eyes turn downcast and his lips totally turns to a pout. He whines, louder than she did, and
says in the cutest manner he can, “You won’t eat the breakfast I prepared?”
They stare at each other for a few seconds and then burst out laughing. Even after years of being
together, they still can’t handle each other’s cute acts and one will break in one way or other. Ari
meows loudly from the living room and Xiao Zhan decides that it really is time for them to eat.
Her hands go up in a silent request, and he sighs, as if he’s fed up but in reality, he’s too endeared
to not say no so he moves to carry her from the bedroom to the dining table. As soon as he opens
the door, Ari silently follows them and curls on her lap the moment she’s seated.
They eat their breakfast, exchanging jokes and plans for the week. For today, all they have to do
is rest and share the moments they have before their busy schedules hit again.
Xiao Zhan knows what he has right now is all he needs, and he wouldn’t exchange it for the world.
