She lay on her stomach, her chin propped in her hands as she watched him sleep. The stillness reflected in his body radiated to the rest of the room, calming her and coating everything with a sleepy laziness.  She dawdled in bed, content for the moment watching him and the way the shadowy light accented the marble white of his skin. The novelty eventually wore off. She wasn’t sure how Angel could spend hours watching her sleep but his sketches were evidence that he did.

 

Her feet swayed in the air, crossed at the ankles and her mouth twisted slightly as she contemplated her options. She could have breakfast, watch TV, check her email or call Giles and discuss slayer things. The problem with those were they all required her getting out of bed, something she wasn’t willing to do even if it alleviated her boredom so for the moment she busied herself with drawing patterns on the white sheets with her finger.

 

Angel could hear the rasp of Buffy’s finger against the sheet. Her soft sigh gave him another clue that she was bored and avoiding waking him up. He barely restrained the smirk lurking beneath his supposedly sleeping visage.

 

Finally he cracked open one eye, taking mercy on her. She blessed him with a bright smile before smacking him on the shoulder.

 

“How long have you been awake?” she asked teasingly.

 

“Long enough to know that in five minutes or less you would have woken me up,” he answered with a smile, opening his eyes fully and turning on his side .Buffy pouted, unable to refute his statement, which made him chuckle. “You could have gotten breakfast.”

 

“I didn’t want to get up,” she confessed with a sheepish grin.

 

Angel grinned wickedly and snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. He dipped his head and nibbled at the curve of her neck. “I don’t have a problem with that,” he whispered against her skin before resuming his ministrations.
