Old work. Sometimes the ideas that insist on being written are dumb. Most times.
Characters are mine

Niv's mind waded through the haze of unconsciousness toward waking, spurred on by the warmth of stiff morning wood, pushing insistently between him and the bed. He gradually became aware of the rest of himself, sprawled beneath the covers like a mess. He groaned lazily, face half buried in his pillow and refusing to open his eyes as he clumsily tried to find a less bothersome position for his junk, so he could go back to sleep.
His bladder would be having none of it, signaling the urge with imminence. He groaned again and threw the cover back, trading all the cozy warmth of bed for the chill of the air-conditioned room on his bare body. He sat up and swung his legs over the side, his movement rousing Mela. She watched him shuffle hurriedly past her side of the bed and into the bathroom, the door closing gently, before she dozed off again.
"FUUUUUCK." Came an exasperated voice, accompanied by splashing, all muffled by the bathroom door.
Mela's eyes snapped open, her mind still processing the input. When the tone of voice registered a moment later, she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Everything okay?" She called. "You need help?"
"Yeah,_it's _fine..." Niv's groggy reply came through the closed door, clearly annoyed.
"Okay." Mela fluffed up her pillow and curled up on her side, pulling the blanket up over her shoulder and facing Niv's side of the bed.
After a few minutes the toilet flushed, and the door opened quietly. "Stupid fucking thing..." Niv grumbled to himself as he shuffled out. He made his way back around the foot of the bed and climbed under the covers, also curling up on his side. The cozy warmth started to come back, making him feel better. He began to doze off, until everything started shifting.
A body of warmth settled in behind him, as Mela scooted in close, curling her body to his. A hand sliding over his side became an arm wrapped around his waist, a gentle and contented "Mmmm" exhaled into his ear as they drifted back into oblivion together.
