A/N: I'm trying something new. I've been dealing with writer's block in a lot of areas lately, and I've also been trying to come up with a fun story idea that I could just write. And this is it. Short little drabbles based on one word that will start with the corresponding alphabetical letter. As always, we begin with 'a'.

Timeline: This particular chapter does fit with the current canon, but most of them won't. Keep an eye out.

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck.

Adore

Sunlight streamed. A good thing, of course. It was well past when they should have been up, but after hitting snooze three times, he settled on turning off his alarm. They'd been out late on a mission, and then stayed up later for purely recreational reasons.

Sunlight always streamed on perfect mornings, he decided many mornings ago. Only on a good morning could a person appreciate something enough to describe it so poetically.

He lay on his back, his body open to the world. Sarah lay next to him, her head on his body, her body curled into his. He traced his fingers down her arm, and felt her stir.

She shifted on top of him, her hair cascaded onto his chest, and it tickled. She felt a sigh rumble through his body as she moved. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him.

The sun was warm on their bodies, entwined in each others. She moved her leg down his, and the shock in his eyes gave her a reason to giggle. A warm breeze murmured through the window. The sounds of cars from the road reached their ears.

"I love you," he whispered.

His voice was rough with sleep, and his eyes are still hooded. But she couldn't help but admire how perfect he was, how happy she was to be in his arms. How wonderful it was to be in love with this man, and for him to love her back.

But he knew that, she told him (multiple times) last night. Her tired mind, instead, thinks of something else. Because the only words that will come to her are out of wonder, out of fascination.

She let her fingers trace his jaw, and whispered, "I adore you."

That look in his eyes says that he adores her too.

So, what'd you think? Review, please.
