The alarm went off for a third time in your ear as you flopped over to turn it off. Connor, as usual wasn't affected at all by the alarm.  You rolled back over to Connor's back facing you. The smile spread across your face was uncontrollable. You loved him, no question about it. 

You put your finger tips gently on his back and slowly started tracing whatever on his back. He wouldn't wake up anyways. Slowly, but surely, you started writing actual words over and over again on his back. I love you. 

You checked the time because you had to get up for work soon. As you did this you continually and subconsciously kept writing I love you on Connor's back.

After a few minutes, there was slight movement coming from Connor's sleeping, almost lifeless body. It lasted a few seconds where you stopped writing. Then he settled again and the only moving occurring in the room was you writing on his back and the slow, steady up and down movements of his breathing. 

The silence was oddly comforting, just you and Connor. When it was disturbed by a very quiet voice you were confused. "What did you say, Connor?" You asked quietly not sure f he was talking in his sleep or not. 

He rolled over and looked at you. "I said I love you too, Y/n."
