Work Text:
You always love spring, not just because it's the time for flowers to bloom, is because spring always provides the coziest days you've ever had.
Everything is warm and comforting at this time of the year, and you love it more when Javier decided to take a day off and settle down on bed with you all day. And days like that become regular when Javier decided to retire from DEA.
Even though the ranch work is exhausting, he seems to be enjoying it, unlike the way he always drowned in the exhaustion it brings being in war. And you love to witness these changes, his frown is mostly gone now, though the bad habit of frowning still lingers. He's more relaxed now, content with his life and spending time with you. And it always brings such joy to you that is hard to hold in your tears. Being able to help him feels content and loved again is the most significant thing you've done in your life.
You turn to face Javier, watching him sleep is your favorite, seeing him at peace, it used to be hard to catch these moments, as the war seems to follow him back home. You watch the way he relaxes, putting your fingers on his brow, and massaging the slight frown away. You smile when he murmurs something in his sleep.
You look toward the window behind him, it's almost noon by now. The light is soft through the curtain as it flows with the warm wind blowing in. It's a comforting scene, an peaceful ambiance. And looking back at Javier, it brings peace to you, you watch the way he breathes, every detail of him and the beautiful picture in front of you, commit it to memory at best you can. Maybe someday you'll sneak out of bed to take a picture and add it to your collection.
You smile when you remember the pictures you've taken, every picture indicates a memorable moment with Javier. Your favorite one is when you find him cooking breakfast one morning, with the radio on, humming a sweet song that you don't know the name of. You sneak back with your camera and took a picture. That one always fills your heart with love when you see it. But maybe this moment right here will be your favorite when you take a picture of it.
You were pulled out of daydreaming when you heard Javier grunt as he move to stretch. You turn toward him and smile sweetly at him when he opens his eyes. He returns the smile and pulls you toward his chest, "Morning, Mi Amor, sleep well?" he mumbles against your neck, his unpruned beard tickling you.
You giggle as he rubs his face against your neck. "Very well, I always sleep well with you." he hums satisfied.
He pulls back to stare into your eyes, "Did something happen, Amor?" you raise your brow in confusion, and he sighs and rubs against you again. "You seem to like me more this morning, had a good dream?"
You smooth his hair back, "I always like you in the morning, what are you talking about?" he pulls back, looking offended, "So you only like me in the morning?" he asks jokily.
"Of course, because you are the cutest in the morning." you mock him back jokily, he raises his brow and looks at you with doubt.
"All right, fine, I like you all the time," you said with all the love you can harbor. He hums in agreement, giving you a sweet and soft kiss.
"So you gonna tell me why you so giggly today, hmm?" you smile evilly in response, "Is a secret~" he frowns, his arms move to grab you but you slip out of bed before he could reach you. He looks at you like a disappointed dad and you can't help chuckling at that, maybe one day...
"Come on, you must be hungry," you said walking out the door, he groan in complained but get up nonetheless. You smile hearing his footstep catch up to you.
Is going to be a great day, another peaceful day spend with him by your side, another perfect day it seems. And a perfect day has to start with pancakes for breakfast.
