The quiet hum of the ceiling fan melded beautifully with the song playing on his bluetooth speaker and the muffled sounds of the water falling in the shower to create a comforting white noise that would have put you to sleep-- if not for the orange sunlight blaring right on your face.

You threw an arm over your eyes and let out a content sigh. Warm and comfortable, you couldn’t quite tell if you weren’t already asleep; if all this wasn’t just a dream.

“I was only in the shower for ten minutes, don’t tell me you already fell asleep,” you were pulled from your own mind by Jaehyun’s soft voice, matched with an equally soft smile that you caught a glimpse of when you moved your arm.

“I wasn’t asleep! Just resting,” you sat up as he crawled into bed next to you, careful not to disturb the cat nestled against your legs. 

“Yeah right, I could hear your snoring from the bathroom,” he teased. Avoiding your pillow assault as best he could, Jaehyun reached across you and grabbed the joint and lighter from your bedside table. “Be careful, if you mess it up you have to reroll it,” he warned in between chuckles. Huffing in defeat, you leaned back against the wall and watched him as he lit the paper and took a drag.

“I don’t get why you smoke after you shower, you just stink up your hair again,” you said, taking the lit joint from him when he offered it. He just shrugged in response. The two of you sat in silence for a little while, petting the cat and watching the sun set as you waited for your high to kick in. Jaehyun’s hit first as you noticed him close his eyes and absent-mindedly sing along to the song playing over the speaker.

“Who’s sleeping now?” You teased, nudging his arm. He sighed and looked up at you, his deep brown eyes a beautiful honey shade as the sunlight hit them.

“Nah, if I was dreaming then you’d stop bugging me,” he drew out the last few words, enjoying the way you playfully hit his arm and chest in retaliation. Teasing and laughter filled your room for a while as dusk slowly turned to night and the quiet streets below your window buzzed again with nightlife. Your cat, bothered by its parents play fighting, ran off to sit on your windowsill and mope. 

“Do you wanna finish this?” Jaehyun asked, holding up the half-used joint to the moonlight. You pondered for a moment, propping yourself up on an elbow and cocking your head to the side. After a second or two of thinking, you shook your head.

“Let’s save it for morning.” Jaehyun agreed and set it down on the table. He turned back to face you and his heart jumped in his throat when he caught you trying hard to hide a yawn. Inebriated and overwhelmed with love, he leaned up and kissed you softly on the lips. It was a sweet, innocent kiss, a silent ‘I love you, sleep well, dream of me.’ It caught you by surprise, he wasn’t usually so affectionate, at least he didn’t really initiate often. You figured the romantic setting and the weed got to him and shrugged it off, appreciating it either way. 

You couldn’t remember when the two of you actually ended up falling asleep. Long after the playlist ended and left you in silence you were still up talking to each other about everything and nothing. One moment you were chatting about how cost effective it would be to bake your own bread, the next you were woken by your alarm in the morning, the first thing you saw was his peaceful sleeping face right next to you.
