He briefly toyed with the idea of taking a picture of her face at this very moment, just to have a proper illustration of why breakfast was his favorite meal of the day.

As the tiny crumbs clung to the corners of her mouth, he silently thanked them for giving him a reason to stare at her beautiful lips.

A/N: This is an idea that has been haunting me for quite some time and I, apparently, just had to get it underway.
