Rurik wasn't necessarily known for sleeping in, but given his partner's...odd...sleep schedule, there were more than a few mornings that he'd found them hours awake. This particular Saturday was one of those days.
It wasn't very common, though, for him to be greeted by the sight of Lotus wearing his shirt, curled up in his blanket, leaning against the counter of their kitchen and drinking their coffee.
Mine, was the first word Rurik thought to himself.
Seeing Lotus so utterly surrounded by him was quite possibly the most attractive thing he'd seen in his entire life. It hit his core, he felt like he'd die if he didn't keep them in his arms, his embrace, his home, his life. He felt practically feral over them. Call him possessive but, fuck, the idea of Lotus being so thoroughly his was borderline erotic.
And that wasn't to say he didn't just as much belong to them, probably more so. His entire being belonged, heart and soul, to Lotus. It always had.
"Ru? You're kinda...staring. What's up?"
He paused for a moment. "I'm just. Really in love with you, I think."
The corners of their mouth curled up, grin cat-like in the most particularly Lotus way. "Yeah?"
"Yeah."
