Hi, I'm Cheshire and I literally don't know how to write anything else besides ReiHaru.

I just want cute ReiHaru fics all the time, so I have too many ideas and too much time!

Title is from Shine by Benjamin Francis Leftwich Only lightly edited!

Sometimes, Haru will wake up before Rei.

It doesn't happen often because Rei has a strict agenda he follows and that schedule includes getting up at a quarter to five to get ready for his morning jog. Occasionally, Haru will wake up with him when his alarm goes off but that's only for a few brief seconds to watch him through heavy eyelids, and then he finds himself falling back asleep to a gentle kiss on the forehead and the sound of the apartment door closing.

But, yes, there is the moments where Haru will wake up before him, like now, to find himself wrapped up in Rei with his face pressing against Haru's clavicle and cobalt hair tickling his nose. His arm might be dead because it's sandwiched between Rei's body and the mattress but he doesn't mind as he noses Rei's temple, breathing in the scent of citrus shampoo and traces of his cologne from the day before. He likes this, he likes waking up beside Rei in their bed, in their home, because it doesn't generally occur that much. They don't get to spend many mornings together, on account of Rei's teaching job usually means he leaves home around seven after getting clean up from his run and Haru doesn't like waking up before ten because he doesn't need to.

(He works as an independent artist, so he keeps his own schedule and does things when he wants to).

But here, with the sun starting to seep in through dusty blinds, he finds himself feeling pleasant and still a bit sleepy, surrounded by Rei's warmth and comfort. He knows his limbs are a little stiff and Rei's morning breath is hitting him in his neck and face but he doesn't mind, not with the way that their arms and legs are tangled together because even if he isn't all that affectionate when awake, Rei definitely likes clinging to Haru in his sleep - it's something that Haru doesn't entirely mind (he doesn't mind at all).

It isn't the weekend because the clock says it's a little before six and the alarm had sounded a good half and hour ago - Haru had instantly reached over and hit the snooze button - but Rei didn't stir from his slumber then, and only twitches a little when Haru absentmindedly runs his fingers through his hair, nails digging lightly into the scalp. Haru snorts against the pillow when Rei lets out a loud snore, burying his face deeper into the skin of Haru's throat.

Haru lets out a yawn and he can feel his eyes drooping close again, even when Rei shifts against him and knots their bodies closer together. There is minimal distance between them but he pays no mind to it as he nuzzles his face against the top of Rei's head. But he feels more than hears his name being whimpered against his neck, noticing belatedly that there's something hard nudging against his inner thigh. He has never woken up to this before, feeling the way Rei's arms tighten around his midsection, trying dispel all space in between them. Haru knows that Rei is still asleep but he can't suppress the shiver that runs down his spine when Rei lightly grinds his hips upward. There's only the thin layer of their boxers between them and the friction makes Haru's breath hitch a little.

"Ah, Rei," Haru hisses from behind his teeth, attempting to wake up the younger boy by digging his elbow into his ribs since his arms are restricted anyway. His skin feels hot - probably due to the overwhelming body heat that Rei emits - and he tries to push him off but it only accomplishes in Rei shuffling closer and on top of him.

Haru now lies under the heavy weight of Rei and an uncomfortable feeling in his groin. And Rei - Rei has the audacity to squirm as if he's trying to get more comfortable in his sleep and it's all Haru can do not to moan at the sudden pressure. His companion has never been a heavy sleeper, the lightest sound could wake him up, so Rei is either very tired or messing with Haru somehow.

He can tell that Rei is truly asleep, especially with the now even breathing against his cheek and little snores tumbling out of Rei's parted lips. Haru is nearly sweating underneath him and the sun drifting in the room isn't exactly helping. He manages to get an arm free and then shoves Rei off but that ends up with him twisted in the sheets and then both of them tumbling to the hard floor next to the bed.

Rei ends up landing on his back, letting out a yelp of pain and Haru drops on top of him, a sound catching in the back of his throat when he bangs his head against Rei's. Rei groans when he tips his head back, pressing the back of his hand to his forehead and wincing while Haru braces himself on his hands and cringes as he shifts on all fours above Rei.

Bare violet eyes blink up blearily at him, looking confused and a little agitated by being roused from sleep so harshly and Haru just glares right back, blue eyes narrowed too. "What was that for?" Rei nearly growls with a raspy voice that is heavy with sleep.

"You wouldn't wake up and you were heavy," mutters Haru in annoyance as he sits up properly, trying to ignore the insistent throbbing between his legs as he hovers over him. The sheets pool around them both as Rei lifts himself up and props back onto the bed of his elbows. There's a frown tugging on the edge of his lips, crossing his eyes a bit since he doesn't have his glasses on.

"What time is it?" He seems alarmed now, frantically glancing around for the clock. Haru doesn't understand why Rei is all about time management now when he had been dead to the world not more than half a minute ago. "A little after six." Haru answers, struggling to his feet and finding balance on the bed as he tries to stand up. Rei fumbles for his glasses from the night stand and Haru doesn't even try to be subtle when he looks from the curve of his spine as he scrambles to his knees to the creases of the muscles in his back when he places the spectacles on his face.

He turns now, fixing the glasses so they lay the way that he likes, and finally meeting Haru's gaze -

- or he aims to but Haru notices how his eyes stray from their intended target to a little lower. Haru follows them and looks downward too, a moment of understanding crosses his face as he notices the tent in his boxers.

"Yeah, that's your fault." He simply states, nonchalant and cool like usual as he steps forward, and Rei gives a strangled sort of noise with large eyes as Haru kneels in front of him again, "You were... wiggling."

"Wiggling?" Rei arches his eyebrow, huffing when Haru pushes him down so he supports his weight on his forearms.

Haru hums as he leans forward, edging closer toward Rei's face but he pulls back before he can get there, causing Haru to pout. "Haruka, I have to go get ready," He sees Rei visibly swallow and he allows himself a tiny smile before shaking his head. This was one of the few mornings that they had together and even if it was only for a good hour or so, there could be things they could do.

"You have time, you have to fix this," That's all Haru says before he closes the distance between them and proceeds to kiss Rei until he was thoroughly breathless.

It's twenty minutes later when Haru emerges from their bedroom and Rei stumbles out, looking clearly debauched with what Haru has done to him. He watches him out of the corner of his vision as Rei goes into the bathroom; he exhales heavily as he eyes the length of Rei's completely bare body, only remembering himself to pull on a pair of sweatpants. He smirks to himself when he hears a squeaky yell of his name from the bathroom which means that Rei found the mark he had placed on the underside of his collarbone.

He notes that the shower has started and he itches to join Rei but he needs to make breakfast.

Breakfast is a fifteen minute affair.

It consists of Rei hurrying to fix up his tie and button his shirt with Haru shoving mouthfuls of fish into his mouth because 'it is important to have a hearty breakfast and mackerel is good for you'.

It ends with Rei kissing him goodbye, which Haru makes him nearly late for because he almost strips him down in the kitchen. With a tiny sigh and a fond smile, Rei pulls Haru's hands away from the buttons on his shirt and he gives him an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Haruka, I have to go to work. I'll see you tonight."

Haru just sulks when he kisses him on the forehead and bids a goodbye. The sound of the door shutting shouts into the empty apartment and Haru just slumps forward onto the table.

Haru isn't a morning person and he never was, he only gets out of bed if there is promise of a bath or mackerel for breakfast. He doesn't get up in the odd hours of dawn like Rei does, scurrying about their apartment as quietly as he can to do the things he needs to get done. Haru doesn't understand his need to do the thousands of things in the morning but Rei has a schedule and a to-do list that is plastered on the door of their fridge and the wall of their bedroom above their desk and several other places throughout the tiny living space.

So, Haru isn't a morning person like Rei is but he does live for the mornings that they both get to share, even if it's very rare.

I hope you enjoyed! Feedback would be nice!
