Garret yawned, then got out the bed and joined his lover by the window.

"Well, guess it's more fun for us" Stefan said, licking Garret in the nose. 2024-02-14 11:09:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Sydney woke up first, and nuzzled into his lover, gently as to not wake him up.
Alas, TJ yawned, and slowly turned around, their lips meeting.
"Love you" TJ said.
"Happy Valentine's" Sydney replied.
This seemed to put TJ on alert.

From equinox to solstice,

You set south to it,
The tree does not blanket you.
