At Night
Phuwin's POV:
Dinner tonight was one of the happiest moments of my life. Itâs been so long since Iâve shared this warmth this simple joy of being with Pondâs family, who always made me feel like I belonged. Moments like these are rare for me, and I cherished every second.
Now, Iâm sitting on the bed, waiting for Pond to finish his shower. The faint sound of running water makes me feel even more impatient. I canât wait to hold him to be close. A few minutes later, he walks out of the bathroom, his hair still damp, wearing the matching tshirts we bought together.
âYouâre still awake?â he asks, his voice soft but teasing as he dries his hair.
âNo,â I reply playfully, crawling toward him, âI was waiting to sleep while holding you... and kissing youuu!â
I press a series of soft kisses all over his lips and face, making him chuckle. Suddenly, he scoops me up in his arms, lifting me effortlessly in a bridal style. I let out a small yelp in surprise, laughing as he lays me gently on the bed before joining me.
He opens his arms wide, and I immediately fall into them, resting my head against his chest. His arms wrap around me tightly, holding me as though heâs afraid I might disappear. I can feel his heartbeatâsteady and calming, like a lullaby.
âGoodnight, my baby,â Pond whispers, his voice full of affection as he presses a gentle kiss to my forehead.
I smile against his chest, my fingers curling into his shirt. âGoodnight.â
Being in his arms is my sanctuary. Itâs where I forget all my worries and fears. Here, with him, I am safe. I melt deeper into his embrace, letting his warmth carry me into a peaceful sleep.

In the Morning
When I wake up, the first thing I see is Pond his face relaxed and peaceful in sleep. His arms are still wrapped around me, holding me close. I canât help but smile. This waking up with him like this is all Iâve ever wanted. To sleep by his side and wake up in his arms feels like a dream I never want to end.
But then reality hits me. I have to go home today. My chest tightens at the thought of leaving him. I donât want this morning to end, donât want to lose this perfect moment.
Quietly, I snuggle closer, tightening my grip on him, as if holding him tighter would make time stop. His warmth, his scentâitâs everything I need.
And just like that, still wrapped in his arms, I fall asleep again, hoping this time, I wonât have to wake up.
Hereâs a more refined and emotionally enriched version of your scene:

Pond's POV
My eyes slowly fluttered open, sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. I tried to move, but found myself locked in place. Looking down, I smiled at the sight before meâPhuwin was hugging me so tightly, his face nestled against my chest like he belonged there. My heart swelled, and I couldnât stop myself from brushing my fingers gently against his soft cheeks.
How can someone be this precious? I thought to myself. From the moment I met him, my love for Phuwin had only grown stronger, deeper, and more unshakable. Every day spent with him felt like a gift I didnât deserve, and yet here he wasâmine to hold.
My gaze shifted to the clock on my nightstand, and I jolted slightly in panic. 9 a.m. Why did we sleep this late? Phuwin never stayed out this long, and I knew his mother would worry. Normally, when he stayed over, he would always leave early, and I couldnât understand why he hadnât woken up today.
âPhuu... Baby, wake up,â I whispered, my voice soft as I rubbed his back in soothing circles.
He stirred slightly, mumbling groggily, âHmmmm⦠I donât wanna. I want to stay like this.â
He rubbed his eyes sleepily and snuggled further into me, his small hands clutching my shirt as though refusing to let go. My chest tightened with a mix of affection and surprise. Phuwin had always been clingy, but today was different today, he was holding me as though the world might take me away from him. And I? I didnât mind a little bit.
âPhuu,â I murmured, pressing a kiss to his temple, âwhat if your mom calls Star to check?â
At the mention of Star, he barely opened his eyes, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. âI already told her Iâd say Iâm staying at Starâs place,â he whispered, his voice sleepy but reassuring.
Relief washed over me, and I let my fingers card through his soft hair. He thought it all through. My little Phuwin always found ways to be with me, and I couldnât help but adore him more for it.
Just then, the sound of the door creaking open startled us both. We turned our heads in sync to see my mom standing in the doorway, hands planted on her hips, an exasperated look on her face.
âAre you two planning to cuddle the entire day?â she teased, though her tone held a touch of amusement.
I grinned shamelessly, pulling Phuwin closer as he hid his flushed face against me. âMoooom,â I whined playfully, Just let us be"
My mom sighed dramatically, shaking her head, though I caught the faintest smile tugging at her lips. I knew she wasnât really mad.
âAlright, alright, get up already, you two,â she relented, turning to leave.
Before I could respond, I felt a sharp pinch on my shoulder. âOww!â I yelped, glancing down at Phuwin, who was smirking mischievously.
âCome on, Mr. Naravit,â he teased softly, sitting up slightly while trying to stifle a giggle.
I smiled back at him, my chest filling with warmth. How did I get so lucky? With one last hug, I finally sat up, but not without pulling Phuwin along with me into another quick embrace.
If this was how every morning could be with him by my side, safe and happy then I would fight to hold onto it forever.
