spongetasticThe sheets covering his body slipped down his back as he began to stir. Peter let out a tired sigh, pushing his hair out of his face. When he turned his head to the side he saw a girl sleeping peacefully next to him. Peter smiled to himself seeing her there and reached out a hand to comb through the girl’s hair. He tried to be gentle so he wouldn’t disturb her.
It was only a few months ago that Peter was waking up to a nearly-empty apartment. In between his long work hours all he did was sit in that apartment listening to the police scanner, hoping to hear someone in trouble who needed his help. He allowed himself no semblance of a social life.
Honestly, it was a little frightening for him how attached he’d grown to Rigby since they met. After everything he went through a relationship was the last thing he expected. Yet there she was, so close Peter could reach out and touch her. He swallowed and lifted his hand to do just that.
Peter’s hand was slow and soothing as it glided up and down the woman’s back. Rigby continued to dream peacefully though Peter noticed her lips curling up in a smile. Peter continued the movement, content to watch the girl sleep. The morning light grew stronger and stronger with each passing moment. Finally it was enough to stir Rigby. She shifted and Peter’s hand paused on her back.
“Mmm,” the girl sighed out, her eyes fluttering open. They focused on Peter and Rigby lit up in a bright smile. “Good morning,” she greeted him sleepily.
“Good morning,” Peter echoed. Yeah, it was definitely a good morning. “Did you sleep well?” he asked her.
“Very well.” Rigby scooted closer so their bodies were pressed up against each other. Peter’s heart jumped and heat instantly pooled through him.
“Rigby.” Peter spoke her name with a trembling voice. It took him much longer than usual to get to this point with her. He was understandably cautious and so took things slow. Peter wetted his lips nervously before speaking again. “I love you, Rigby,” he whispered.
“Oh,” she gasped out. For a moment the words stunned her but then seconds later her arms were around him and she was kissing him. “I love you too, Peter,” she answered.
And it felt so good to hear those words that Peter rolled the girl underneath him to express his love in a very physical way. This time, he was sure, was going to last.
