Love In The Air.

The morning sun filters through the curtains, casting a golden glow over the room.

Ace stirs in Kieran's arms, feeling warm, safe_ like he belongs here. He exhales slowly, fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on Kieran's bare chest.

But reality catches up fast.

"Oh God! I have exams today!" Ace snaps sitting up immediately, breaking the peaceful silence.

Kieran, half-awake, pulls him back, tightening his arms around him. "No."

Ace huffs a small laugh. "What do you mean 'no'?"

"I mean why now, do you have to go? You are not." Kieran's voice is gruff, still thick with sleep. He buries his face into Ace's neck, inhaling deeply as if memorizing his scent. "Please let's stay right here the whole day."

Ace sighs, threading his fingers through Kieran's messy hair. "Kieran, I have to go. I already missed too many days. These exams decide my final grades."
