Everyone said your first time was supposed to be something spectacular that changed your view on the world but that wasn't the case for you. You and Xander had been together for a few months and you had fallen for him instantly. For the weekend your parents were going to be out of town, so it seemed like a perfect time for a romantic evening together and things just seemed to fall into place. The two of you had fallen asleep, your naked forms entangled under the sheets.

Early in the morning you woke up to the sunlight breaking through your curtains. You went to stretch but as your arm brushed against something, you hesitated. Rolling over you noticed Xander lying by your side. He was facing away from you, but it still made you happy to see him. His dark hair pointed out at every angle with the sheet loosely strewn over him.

He wasn't a typical guy, kind of odd and very sarcastic but he made you happy. You cared for him more than anyone ever. It was a peculiar feeling to know you trusted someone with so much, trusted them to be with you so intimately and now to see them in peace and without any cares. You didn't know whether he felt the same, but you did enjoy being able to let the happiness and purity of your love be held there through his slumber.

As you smiled fondly at him, he stirred in his sleep, making you hold your breath, not wishing for him to know you'd been awake for such a time observing him asleep. Xander fidgeted in his sleep, going to roll towards you. You could see his pale face as he rotated to face you, but it was all cut out when his palm came colliding with your face. As he had rolled, his arm had gone with him, going out to reach towards you, but had landed onto your face with a hefty thud.

"Fuck," you grunted.

Xander snorted, shuffling in his place whilst his eyes adjusted to the morning light.

"You alright?" He muttered.

"You slapped me," you frowned, rubbing your cheek.

"Sorry," he snorted, rubbing his eyes. "Heavy sleeper."

You rolled your eyes. It didn't hurt much, and it was an accident so you would drop it, but you would get revenge if it happened again soon.

"I noticed."
