Curate, connect, and discover
Carefully, you tried to wiggle out of Jake's warm embrace. He had his face buried in your shoulder and his arms held you tight against his body. How was he able to continue sleeping so peacefully while the alarm was literally screaming in the background?
You attempted rolling over and out from underneath the covers, but when you sat up instead you heard Jake's voice silently mumbling while he stretched out his arm to grab your wrist.
»Don't leave me«, he whispered half-asleep, a ghost of fear in his voice while he tried to pull you back into bed.
»I'm not going anywhere, Jake. Please let me turn off the alarm, hm?«
»Promise you will come right back?«
He was always scared of losing you after having to deal with his father's job-indebted absence a lot during his childhood, but after his nightmare of not being able to save you during an accident, he was even more worried, although he knew you would always stay with him.
»I promise.«
With that, he let go of your wrist, and you got up to turn off the alarm before slipping back underneath the blanket.
»Just five more minutes, alright?«
Jake gently kissed your forehead and contently smiled to himself. You were his, and he was yours, and neither of you would ever leave the other.
