Lyla was woken up by the sunlight that filtered in through the gaps of her curtains. Arising with a groan and a stretch of the arms, she grabbed her robe and wrapped it around herself. She currently sported fuzzy pajama pants, a t-shirt a size too big, and her hair was in a messy bun on top of her head. She tied the robe around herself before slipping on her comfy white slippers. She grabbed her favorite coffee cup and her phone before heading next door without much thought. She fiddled around momentarily, grabbing the extra key she'd been given by the occupant of the next door apartment, and opened it swiftly before stepping in.
Once inside, she put some coffee on and set her things down before rushing into the master bedroom, hopping energetically onto the mattress (and the person sleeping there) with a soft giggle. "Wakey wakey, sleepy head! Today is pancakes and a visit to the water park!" She chirped, her groggy exterior fading into a child-like excitement as she gently shook the sleeping male. "C'mon, you don't want me to pour water on you like I did that one time, do you?" She sang, a wide smile playing upon her lips. She rolled off the male, landing beside him as she stretched some.
William mechanically say up and rubbed his eyes as if it was normal to be woken up like that every morning. And for him, it in fact was. Half awake, he absentmindedly patted the head of the young woman beside him. "Yes, yes. I have strawberries too," he raked his fingers through his perpetual bed head and reached over Lyla for his glasses.
In just fifteen minutes the delicious aroma of pancakes drifted from the kitchen. William still wore his sweatpants, but had put on a tshirt. He stood at the stove flipping pancakes, with a stack already beside him. He put the plate on the table along with a bowl of strawberries and syrup. "Dig in," he said as he left to wash his face and change.
"Thank you!" Lyla responded, getting two pancakes, some strawberries, and a little bit of syrup onto her plate in an artistically delicious fashion. She had the pancakes stacked on top of one another with the strawberries placed in a pattern on top. She syrup was drizzled lightly on the top before she cut into the breakfast and took a bite. She swung her legs back and forth and grinned slightly as she took in the delectable taste of the pancakes. William always made the best food. It didn't seem to matter what it was. She could depend on him to always make her want to come back for seconds, thirds, or fourths.
She took a sip of her coffee (which was filled with too much creamer and way too much sugar), before continuing to devour her pancakes. Once she was finished she leaned back into her chair and rested her hand on her belly, sighing softly. After a moment she jumped up and washed off her plate, still taking gradual sips from her coffee. Once she was done with that she prepared his plate, knowing he would emerge from the bathroom soon enough. She made his pancakes the way she knew he liked them, never too little and never too much. He may be the master chief, but she was the master at details. At least, that's what she told herself.
William emerged with his signature button up and jeans, and slightly more presentable hair. He walked directly to the table where his breakfast was made exactly to his tastes. "Mmm, thanks," he said to Lyla before digging in. He quickly glanced towards the clock before adding, "the bus comes in 10 minutes, or I can drive." He couldn't help but say it out of habit, even though he already knew what the answer would be. The car was already loaded with snacks and towels packed, so all he had to do was grab the waters out of the fridge.
"Y'know you always drive so I can DJ along the way!" Lyla responded, finishing up her final drink of coffee. She disappeared out of the apartment door for a moment before returning minutes later with a blouse and knee length skirt. Her hair was now brushed through, flowing over her shoulders and down her back in waves. She approached the counter and leaned against it, patiently waiting for him to finish up. In the meantime, she approached the fridge. "I'll go ahead and get the waters. That's one less thing for you to do." She smiled and turned around on her heel, approaching the fridge and pulling out a handful of waters. She clumsily approached the counter, setting them down while swaying from side to side as she waited for him to finish. He always cooked and she always cleaned. "Are they good?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Mm, perfect as usual." He soon finished scarfing down the pancakes, handing her the plate afterwards. He patted her head out of habit and stood beside her as she washed the dishes, casually waiting for her to finish so they head to the water park.
