Eddy hadnt noticed the world getting lighter, the black out curtains still doing their jobs by keeping the sun at bay. But Luke was his own alarm, waking up at dawn like it was something easy to do. Eddy couldnt be jealous about it, not when sleepless nights brought him this in the morning. Eddy loved  seeing Luke all sleepy and slow and dreamy as he reached out for Eddy, always seeking the older man out as if unconsciously checking that Eddy was still there. It made his black creaky heart melt every time.<br/><br/>He turned towards Luke with his own smile curling under his ruffled beard. His hair was a tangled mess after last night and it fell in crinkled waves against the pillow and his breath probably didnt smell the best but he didnt care. At first he had been self concious waking up next to Luke, unused to having a person beside him again, but the darkness of his bedroom helped with a lot of his-- he hated the word,<i>body issues (</i>and that had been a fun session and half to discuss with his therapist). But coincidentally, with all the fucking and not drinking he had been doing, Eddy managed to lose 15 lbs after they started dating.<br/><br/>"Mm, morning gorgeous," Eddy rumbled, his own voice rough from the long night.<br/><br/>This happened sometimes, Eddy was a chronic insomniac. He used to take pills for it but had to stop when he nearly severed his own fingers (the scar was faded and pink just below the nail of his left pointer finger). He had switched to booze instead, and continued on with it when he couldnt sculpt anymore, but now that he was drinking less it was harder for him to fall asleep and stay that way. Which was why he was up all night worrying if he was neglecting Luke.<br/><br/>To put his own fears at rest, Eddy wrapped an arm around Luke and pulled him close, their naked bodies pressed together under the sheets.<br/><br/>"You got somewhere to be?" Eddy asked, face pressed into Luke's hair as he inhaled the scent of him. Eddy didnt know how Luke did it, but he always managed to smell so good just as he's waking up.
