Chapter 34: The Little Things

Stephen's POV

As the sun peeked through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes and realized I was wrapped up in Eric's embrace. His head rested on my chest, rising and falling with each breath he took. A smile crept across my face as I basked in the warmth of his body against mine.

I brushed a lock of his hair away from his forehead, admiring the way the sunlight danced on his face. At that moment, I realized just how lucky I was to have him in my life. Waking up next to him was a feeling like no other – it was like everything else in the world faded away and it was just the two of us, lost in each other's embrace.

I closed my eyes again, content to simply lay there with him, basking in the quiet intimacy of the morning. It was moments like these that made me grateful for our love. The simple pleasures of waking up next to each other were all we needed to start our day off right.
