The morning was calm and sweet for Reiji and Eden. Eden's eyes opened, and he looked at Reiji, who was still peacefully asleep. Gently, Eden traced his fingers through Reiji's hair. Slowly, Reiji's eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning," Eden whispered.
"Morning," Reiji mumbled back, still half-dazed.
Eden continued to stroke Reiji's hair and asked, "How does it feel?"
Reiji winced slightly and replied, "My bottom hurts like hell. It's so uncomfortable."
Eden smirked. "It's because it's your first time. I'll put some ointment on it for you."
Reiji shook his head, trying to brush off the offer. "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Eden chuckled. "Why are you so shy?"
Reiji turned his head away, trying to avoid Eden's teasing. "Who's shy?" he replied, his tone sharp.
Eden grinned. "Alright, alright. Take a shower after breakfast, and I'll drop you off."
Reiji stood up, wrapping the blanket around his waist, and grabbed his phone to call his guards.
