"Mm..." Adrian mumbled softly as he stirred from sleep.
Frowning slightly, he blinked his eyes open and noticed his left arm had gone numb.
Sunlight streamed in through the small gap in the curtains, making him squint.
He let his eyes adjust before glancing down at the person lying beside him.
Ariana was still fast asleep, her head resting on his arm and her hand placed gently on his chest. Her lips were slightly parted as she breathed in a steady rhythm.
Just seeing her made his morning feel brighter.
Carefully, he slid out from under her and laid her head on the pillow.
He walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a pair of shorts to wear.
It was the weekend, so there were no classes. Still, he had promised Thalia a tutoring session, so he'd have to leave in about an hour.
Crossing the room, he poured water into the kettle sitting on a small shelf and placed it on top of the artifact stove he had built a few days ago. It worked well and let him control the heat precisely.
