Chapter One: Mornings (Adult AU)

Izuku had a habit of waking up before the alarm clock went off.

This was always followed by him reaching for said alarm clock and turning it off because he knew how much Mina hated being woken up by the infernal creation. They had the thing in their room because if Izuku ever had to take off early for his office, Mina would undoubtedly fall back asleep and would miss her own departure time if she wasn't woken again by the "ancient torture device" that was the alarm clock.

Mina very much preferred being woken up by Izuku when they got to leave together for work instead. Like this morning.

She moaned sleepily as he got his arms back around her midsection and squeezed gently, planting a kiss on her shoulder to rouse the young woman. Izuku couldn't help but smirk a bit. Even though he'd known her for five years and dated her for three, her reluctance to wake up in the morning was still as endearing as ever.

Mina was an adorable sleeper. She loved to cuddle (and after introducing Izuku to the art of cuddling, addicted him to it as well) and these moments they had together in the morning were probably her favorites because Izuku would slowly wake her up with soft squeezes and kisses.

It was a million times better than being woken up by the incessant screaming of her alarm clock and she purposely woke up slowly so it would last longer. On days like today, she especially took her time enjoying Izuku's sweet attempts to rouse her.

After twenty minutes of trying to wake Mina up, Izuku's lips touched the shell of her ear as he murmured softly. "Are you ever going to wake up?"

"It's Saturday, babe," she replied in a little sigh, twisting so that she was facing him. She still refused to open her eyes and only snuggled closer to him. "No office hours today. Emergency calls only."

"That's a no, then," he chuckled. She grinned and pressed a kiss to his lips, smiling throughout the short contact. Mina was quick to bury her face back into his neck and Izuku nuzzled her hair with his nose. "Breakfast?"

"Cereal can wait."

"What if I cook?"

"Izuuuu," she whined. He was too good of a cook for her to argue against this offer. "That's not fair. Don't make me want to get up!"

He laughed again. "Any special requests?"

"Let me think about it for another twenty minutes."

Izuku was more than willing to give her that time, but he also didn't want her to doze off and knew just how to keep her awake. It had taken a long time for him to figure this out and work up the nerve to try it out, but now Izuku was comfortable enough with Mina to pull this particular trick of his off.

Mina gasped as she felt Izuku lightly bite the corner of her jaw and throat, sending tingles up her spine and setting her blood alight when he repeated the action, but a little harder and whilst lowering his hands to squeeze her thighs. He nibbled a few more times, slowly working his hands up and down her thighs and squeezing gently as he did. After a few minutes of doting on her, he gripped her waist and rolled Mina so she was lying on top of him. Izuku then sat up, bringing her so she was straddling his lap.

She shivered in delight as his hands trailed up and down her spine. She knew what he was up to, (he'd woken her up like this many times before, after all) but couldn't bring herself to protest despite her desire to sleep longer. She just loved what came next too much.

That was, of course, when he actually went through with it.

Mina whined as Izuku stopped his ministrations for a few seconds and realized he was done for now. She opened her eyes at last and pouted at him, knowing he'd gotten her riled specifically so that she'd wake up.

"Meanie."

"I love you," he replied with that little smirk he always made whenever he woke her up with these…teases of his, which was fairly often. Mina glared at him for being entirely too attractive and cursing how easily he picked up on what made her tick since they started dating. He was still introverted and shy at times, but he'd become so much more confident around her over the years. When they first moved into their apartment and these morning love sessions of theirs became a common thing, Mina knew she was done for.

This man drove her insane and she loved him for it.

"I want peanut butter waffles with buttered toast on the side and strawberries for breakfast," she told him, refusing to let go of her boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around his neck and scooted closer to him so she was flush against his shirtless torso. Mina felt him tense a little and smirked.

She knew how to work him, too.

"But you're going to finish waking me up first, or I will drag you back in here if it's the last thing I do," she breathed into his ear.

Her nails scratched lightly against his shoulders and Izuku sucked in a sharp breath. Two could play this game and Mina had been the one to teach Izuku how in the first place, even if it had been a mutual learning experience for both of them.

Izuku's nose brushed hers and his eyes became dark and lidded. Mina felt her spine melt into goop as those already enchanting green eyes of his became irresistible with his love for her. That was what she loved most of all about these little morning romps of theirs. How clearly she could see that he loved her.

How clearly she felt how much she loved him, too.

His fingers were already pulling at the hem of her tank top as his lips brushed against hers, a soft smile on his face. "You always get the final say, don't you?"

"Mmhm. Cheers, love," Mina whispered happily against his lips as her eyes closed and she kissed him fully, sparking their affections for each other into a need they couldn't resist. A while later, when they finally left their room for breakfast, they were both fully awake and more than ready for whatever shenanigans the day brought upon them.
