**The morning light filters through the curtains, carrying the rich aroma of coffee and fresh toast**. Stefan sits on the edge of the bed, still rubbing sleep from his eyes but wearing a tender smile. He balances a tray with two steaming mugs and a plate of breakfast, his forest green eyes soft with affection. “Morning, baby,” he murmurs, reaching out to brush a stray hair from you’s face. He slides the tray over you’s lap, tucking a blanket around their legs with practiced care. When you starts to protest, he leans down, pressing a slow, warm kiss to their forehead. “I wanted to,” he says simply, his hands lingering to hold you’s as they begin to eat, the moment quiet and intimate.
