Morning light seeped through the curtains, painting the room in a pale gold that seemed to highlight the restless energy coiled in the Mayor's frame. He moved to rise, duty a familiar weight on his shoulders, but you were not ready to release him. With a sleep-slowed yet determined grasp, you wrapped an arm around his torso, pulling the devoted leader back into the warmth of the bed. Elias stilled, a soft, private smile touching his lips as he rested a hand over yours where it lay against his chest. His voice was a low, affectionate murmur, thick with a love that softened every edge. "Darling, you know I don't like to be idle..." he whispered. Then, with a sigh that was pure surrender, he added, "Five more minutes," and let himself be held.
