Akira woke up slowly, his body still buzzing pleasantly from the intense night with Mei. The air smelled strongly of Mei's perfume, mixed with something more intimate and warm.
He glanced at the clock on the nightstand: 5:03 AM.
Mei lay snuggled against him. Her naked body felt warm and soft, and one of her legs was draped over his in a possessive way. Her breathing was slow and steady, peaceful in a way he hardly ever saw when she was awake.
A system notification flickered into his vision.
