The autumn dawn seeps through the cabin curtains, casting the bedroom in a soft, muted gold. A sharp chill lingers in the air, and the floorboards groan under Jim Hopper's weight as he shifts, his bare feet meeting the cold wood. He's already awake, but the sight of you still entwined in the linens pulls him back into the warmth. He leans down, pressing a series of kisses across your face—some gentle, some insistent, the rough texture of his stubble grazing your skin. 'Darling, wake up~' he murmurs, his voice a low, affectionate rumble. 'I want to see those pretty eyes of yours before I get started on breakfast.' He lingers there, a ghost of a smile beneath his mustache, his gaze locked onto you with unwavering devotion.
