I woke up the next day feeling absolutely sore. I was wondering the cause of that, then I remembered everything that happened the other night. It was absolutely magical. As a person in the aroace spectrum, I wasn’t expecting myself to actually enjoy having sex with someone, but Skye changed everything for me. 

I never felt so loved by someone before. I mean, I always knew Skye had a special place in my heart when we started dating, but I never felt how intense it was until last night. Skye managed to find places that I would have never expected myself to enjoy. Speaking of the devil themself, they seemed to be sleeping rather peacefully. I was envious of them as they slept so beautifully, while I was known to be an ugly sleeper even though Skye would deny it. 

I wanted to wake them up though as I checked my phone and it was already 10am, so I began peppering their face with kisses and putting my arms around their body for a tight snuggle. After a while, Skye finally started moving around and opened their eyes. They started giggling and tried to wiggle out from my embrace but I had an iron grasp on them. 

“If this is what I wake up to every morning, I wouldn’t mind at all. Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?”

I smiled, knowing that I did, thanks to what we did last night. 

“Yes, babe, I did sleep like a log, though my body is aching after what we did. Are you feeling okay?”

Skye nodded, though I could see their facial expressions and deduced that they were also sore. They were bottoming after all, so they probably had it worse than I did.

“Yes, I don’t think I can walk though. Do you think you can carry me downstairs?”

I chuckled. It was the least I could do, especially for a partner who I knew loved me as much as I did towards them.  

“Of course, babe. Don’t move, I’ll grab you in a second.”

I ended up carrying Skye bridal style downstairs to the kitchen. Though Skye was larger than I was in size, they weren’t too heavy and I had done this before. In fact, I pitied Skye because I knew I was heavier than they were, so they tended to struggle carrying me at times. 

We started preparing breakfast, with me making eggs and Skye preparing the toast with butter. It was a simple and domestic act, but something I cherished every time I slept over at Skye’s place. I also had the coffee machine started so that we could get some caffeine in our bodies first thing in the morning. 

“So, I was thinking instead of our music session, we spend the whole day watching movies while cuddling. What do you think? I know it’s a break from the routine, but I don’t think I have the energy level to play with you right now, my love.”

I pondered their suggestion. Skye had a point there. I wasn’t really in the mood for the jam session either. All I wanted to do was to stay beside them and have them all to myself for the whole day.

“Yeah, sure, I get first dibs on the movie choice though.”

Skye laughed at my demand and nodded. 

“Of course, you always get first dibs, even when it’s about me.”

My cheeks definitely flushed at that statement. I can’t believe that they said that so nonchalantly, but this was Skye that I was talking about. They knew exactly what to say. Whatever doubts I had about them, it was washed away by how much they loved me throughout this time, and especially last night.

My thoughts were interrupted when Skye started walking to me and gave me a hug.

“Thank you for last night, my love. I really enjoyed it. It felt right, and I’m hoping we can do it again later today.”

I nodded eagerly. I agreed with them, everything felt right. I could see Skye being nervous yet again though, so in my typical fashion, I gently grabbed their chin so that they would face me in the eyes.

“Babe, do you have something to ask me? I know your face whenever you’re nervous to ask me something. Spit it out.”

Skye chuckled, knowing that they couldn’t really hide anything from me. 

“Yes, actually. I have a selfish question. I love the time we spent together in the same house, and I’m hoping this will continue forever. Would you like to move in with me?”

Truthfully, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t expecting this question. I have also thought about moving out of the current house, since my sister was graduating from college and would need a place to stay. The house, though I inherited from my parents, were equally my sister’s as well. I figured she would have a better time being alone in the house, as we didn’t get along well as roommates and tended to argue over every little thing. Don’t get me wrong, I did love my sister but she was not my first choice as a roommate.

I started tearing up as I envisioned Skye and I happily cuddling around the couch in our house. Yes, not their house at this point, but rather our house. Skye started panicking, and began to backtrack their request.

“Don’t cry, my love. I’m sorry for upsetting you. It’s okay if you don’t want to move in. I won’t be mad and nothing has to change.”

“Oh babe, you’re mistaken. I wasn’t crying because I was upset. I was crying because I already can see us together in this house, our house, for a very long time. Thank you for asking, I’ll be glad to be able to move in with you.”

If Skye didn’t have any energy earlier, they definitely did now as they happily grabbed me and gave me the biggest hug I ever had. I could barely breathe by the time they were done hugging, but I knew they needed that hug. I did too.

“Thank you for saying yes, my love. You won’t regret moving in.”
