Consciousness slowly comes to Kevin who does eventually blink awake from his slumber. A few years ago Kevin would have never dreamed of having a slow morning. Instinct and habit to quickly prepare himself and always be on standby during the war as a surgeon to strong. But with someone next to him, breathing next to him, quickly brought him back to the present, till it's not his first reaction in the morning.
He will always have a few habits from his time as a war surgeon. However they have taken a rest the more volatile ones (Note: panic attacks) thanks to a certain someone.
Looking down at the certain someone, all wrapped up in a comforter and his arms, black hair and face peeking out of the top, Ren sleeps peacefully. Stream of sunlight pour through the curtains illuminating his face and he can imagine his bright blue eyes shining in the morning light beautifully.
'Not yet though,' He thinks brushing the hair out of his face to deliver a small kiss. 'his darling should sleep. Let that detective brain of his rest.' It's the least he can do to let his cherished one sleep in.
Having someone to cherish and someone cherish him is not necessarily foreign to Kevin but well its been awhile.
'Probably since his parents' he thinks wryly. ' Ah, he still misses them dearly.' Subconsciously squeezing Ren tighter as his thoughts grow heavy. In response a little mumble of words comes from the precious bundle, bringing him back before the longing for long gone people hits harder.
A smile breaks through his face breaking his somber thoughts. Ever since they have started sleeping in the same bed Kevin has noticed how Ren is very much a sleep talker. Almost like when he's awake mumbling possible explanations for a case left to sit too long.
Thinking about cases he did not know that this person would drag him into so many.The amount of times he had to just follow his lead in a plan and said plan somehow almost always working out is a little alarming. But it will always be a wonder to watch how his brain will analyze everything, to big or minor details. Actually, one of his favourite things about these cases is when something clicks in Rens brain and realization shines in his blue eyes.
But Kevin favourite most treasured moments is being able to see Ren trust him. Either to keep his back or when he needs support, to be be vulnerable. It feels better than any accomplishment on the battlefield he gained compared to being trusted by the one he loves most.
And now he can confidently trust Ren as well.
Exhaling he rests his head on top of Ren, his partner in crime and life.
Maybe he should sleep in aswell. The bed is comfortable and the sun isn't fully up, plus Kevin wants to bask a bit in this quite morning. If the world can wait for the best detective certainly they can wait for one healing war surgeon.
