Stuart was woken up by the loud ringing of Berry's phone early the next morning. Noting that Berry showed no signs of getting up to check his phone, he decided to check it himself, reaching out to take the phone on the bedside stool, being careful not to disturb the sleeping man by his side. When he checked it, he was surprised to see that it was an alarm notification, and the note under it read, "wake Stuart up for work."
Stuart had to press his lips together to keep himself from laughing. What made this sleeping log, who couldn't even get himself to stand up, think that he would be able to wake Stuart up in the morning?
However, Berry surprised him by groaning before sitting up on the bed with his back plastered on the headrest. He rubbed his eyes to clear his blurry vision before ruffling his already messy hair. Stuart didn't know why he was doing this, but he acted like he was still asleep, his eyes shut, and heartbeat steady like he was still asleep.
