the ambience of rain mixed with your boyfriend's soft voice filled the room as you rustled in your sleep. your eyes swollen from the night before, you weren't ready to open them just yet. "my baby" he coo'd into the top of your head, making you nuzzle your face further into his chest. finding solace in his musky scent, you felt yourself doze back into slumber.
"it's a new day baby, I'm proud of you" he placed a kiss to your forehead. unable to form sentences in your dreamy state, all you did was hum in response. mark faintly giggled as he pulled you in closer, tighter. as if it was even possible to get any physically closer than this. your bodies were intertwined with one another, chest rising and falling in unison, functioning as one. it felt safe.
as the thunder got louder, you started to shift and groan, slowly regaining consciousness. "I wanna sleep more" you mumbled into his chest. mark ran his hand from your back, to your shoulder and then, down your arm, before grabbing your hand and bringing it to his lips. he left another soft kiss.
"whatever you need baby, I'm here. I got you." he slipped his fingers between yours and rested your hand onto his chest.
you both laid there for what felt like hours, just listening to the rain. drifting in and out sleep, you kept waking up to peak through your hooded eyes to make sure he was still there. that he was real. "I'm here baby." and he would reassure you every time with a kiss.
after a while, mark slowly peeled your limbs off him and started shifting. the sudden lack of his warmth, made you sulk but he just responded with an endearing laugh. he put a pillow in his place so you could wrap yourself around it and lifted your chin with his fingers to look at him. he placed a kiss on your lips and then all over your face, making you giggle.
"I'll be right back baby, drink some water." he handed you a bottle of water as he disappeared into the kitchen, humming a song.
shortly after, the sound of the coffee machine and his soft singing echoed through your apartment, and a wave of calmness washed over you.
it was when you started to smell coffee, you rubbed your eyes and your lips curled into a lazy smile, you sat up. taking some deep breaths, you decided to do some stretches on the bed whilst you waited for mark. the acoustics of the kitchen, added slight reverb to his voice and you found refuge in this. your eyes closed again and your hands found their way to your chest and stomach. you grounded yourself to this moment as you swayed gently to the melody, taking deep breaths. gratitude slowly filled your body.
you opened your eyes and peered out the window. taking in the beautiful trees, also swaying in the thunderstorm. you thought about how bad you felt yesterday and how mark had handled it so well, despite his apparent panic at your crying. you looked out to the skies and silently thanked the universe for your boyfriend. praying that you can reciprocate the same safe space, he has created for you over the years. you felt yourself tearing up again as mark walked back into the room with a mug of coffee and a rolled joint, strategically placed on top.
"good morning sleepy head" he proudly cheesed, handing you the mug. you mirrored his smile back, knowing in this moment, everything was okay.

getting up on my soapbox for a moment. i find it laughable that nearly every time someone says they don’t like rap they cite hamilton and k-pop as the only rap they can tolerate. because everything else is just so violent and full of blatant consumerism. first off. so is k-pop. secondly. idk how to tell you the founding fathers were some of the most violent people around (coming from a black american descentant of slaves who is most likely related to thomas jefferson. shouldn’t have to explain the relevance here). thirdly. hamilton and k-pop both reference and interpolate rap. so idk what to tell you babes. you do like rap. you just don’t like black people. say it with your full chest next time.
