Chapter 147: A lovely morning
Azrael always woke up at five in the morning. He would go for a run for an hour, then would start preparing for work after cooking and having his breakfast. He was always punctual, but that day, he saw himself sprawled on the bed, still tucked under the blanket, with two of his most precious people in his arms, while the sun was already high up in the sky.
Knoa was still sleeping soundly next to him, while next to the kid was Knox, lying on his side and an arm wrapped around the kid. His eyes shone brightly with indescribable contentment and happiness, as he watched his fiancé’s eyes flutter open. The morning sun slowly lit his dull and drowsy eyes, reflecting Azrael’s face smiling foolishly.
Knox yawned. Then he smiled after, mouthing ’morning’ to the lovestruck guy. He slowly rose after seeing Knoa still asleep.
"It’s Sunday. Let’s just sleep in," Azrael murmured, tugging on Knox’s shirt.
Knox ducked over and planted a quick kiss on Azrael’s lips before he answered, "Althea’s conducting an outreach program today. I promised to go and help her."
Azrael showed dismay, but he didn’t complain. He just asked, "Are you going to take Knoa with you?"
Knox nodded, brushing off the black strands of hair that hindered Azrael’s eyes. His fingers caught Azrael’s attention, and he came to realize that he just proposed without giving Knox a ring.
He caught Knox’s hand and played with his fingers, especially his ring holder. ’His hands are smaller than mine, but they’re still a man’s hands, yet soft and smell nice...’ Azrael thought as he brought the hand to his lips and kissed its back while staring directly at Knox.
Knox’s eyes twinkled in appreciation of his boyfriend’s handsome face and deep, enigmatic eyes looking intensely at him. The event of yesterday’s night rewound in his mind, but instead of getting embarrassed, an impish smile formed on his lips.
However, he was unable to execute what he was thinking because Knoa grunted beneath him. Knox straightened his body and carefully stood from the bed.
Azrael replied as he slowly got up from the bed as well, "Can’t he stay? I want to spend time with him..." he said that, but truthfully, he wanted to ask Knoa about something, without Knox finding it out.
