Work Text:
A chill wind wakes you up from a peaceful sleep. Javi was adamant on leaving a window open to help the two of you sleep but now it’s too cold and Javi is warm, but not warm enough. Rolling over to look at him, his soft snores and calm face seem unbothered. He’s comfortable and it’s always a shame to wake him before he’s ready.
Warm shower it is then.
Gently rolling out of bed and scurrying into the bathroom, you grab your robe and towel. You debate closing the window but he runs hot, so you leave it.
You lose track of how long you’re in the shower but with the steam as heavy as a sauna, it’s safe to say it’s been a while. The door cracks open and you look through the glass to see Javi in his broad glory. His silk pajamas wrinkled from sleep.
“My love?”
His voice is groggy and with sleep still evident in his eyes, it’s obvious he’s having trouble spotting your exact location inside the shower with how he’s squinting.
“I’m here Javi. Straight ahead.”
Javi rubs his eyes and walks blindly through the steam. He stops at the glass and looks at you through it. “Why did you not wake me? I would have joined you”
A smile forms on your face and without a word, you tilt your head toward the door.
An invitation.
Javi undresses and swiftly opens the glass door to join you. The mix of cool air and steam prick your skin but as fast as it hits you, Javi is faster at returning you to warmth. His arms wrap around your body and he cages you in. “Warm?’ he asks.
“Mm, warm. Thank you.” With the warm water hitting your back and Javi at your front, the warmth you’ve been craving since waking up is finally achieved.

The rest of your shower is pleasantly uneventful. Sweet kisses exchanged while you washed each other and touches so gentle, they could have put you back to sleep. Javi knows your body well enough by now to know when you just desire rest and relaxation and he gave you just that. It’s his attention to detail and how he cares that you love so much.

Changing into comfortable day clothes was quick. While brushing your hair Javi announced he’d go prepare breakfast. And by ‘prepare’, he meant, tell someone to set up a table for the two of you.
You meet Javi in the courtyard by the pool. His back is to you as he moves, most likely adjusting things on the table to make it ‘perfect’.
A beautiful breakfast spread displayed along with… his ipad and notebooks.
“Will you be working during our breakfast?” you inquire.
Javi is quick to turn. “Oh no, I was- I was just hoping to get some quick edits done to my screenplay. You’ve been a divine inspiration this morning.” he pauses. “Mi alma, are you upset with me?”
Your face softens as you realize how your question was taken.
“Oh no, I’m not mad Javi. I was just curious. You never really write around me…”
The panic leaves his face and he frowns. “I thought it bothered you.”
What!?
”Oh Javi…your writing doesn't bother me at all.” You reach out to touch him. “I love being near you while you express yourself. I wish you’d show me more.”
He lets out a sigh of relief and his smile reaches the crinkles on his eyes. “Oh boy, I was afraid you didn’t like all this. I know it’s a pipe dream-“
“Nope,” you interrupt, “Just a dream and a passion of yours that I fully support. Okay.”
“Okay.”
The breakfast is beautifully serene. The breeze rippling the ocean beyond the property, the sun heating your skin and Javi to your right, in his notebook. I mean… any moment spent with Javi is beautiful. He is as kind and pure as they come. The life you two share is just filled with moments of bliss. Sometimes it feels like a dream how well he’s able to give you comfort but still make time for himself and things he enjoys.
Javi clearing his throat startles you, bringing you away from your drink. He prepares to ask something, but doesn’t.
“Yes Javi?” Head tilting toward him, curious.
He hesitates but proceeds. “Would you like to read what I have so far?”
“I can!?” You sit up straighter,the excitement in your voice catches him off guard but thrills him nonetheless.
“I’d really appreciate your input,” he says, “and.. if you’d like…maybe read a few scenes with me?”
“Javi, I’d love to!”
-
Javi’s screenplay was a page turner and surprisingly more action packed than you thought it’d be - granted you weren’t really sure what to expect since he's never shared anything with you before - but the drama, complicated dialogue and action really shocked you.
Not in a bad way either.
Javi is just an extremely timid and loving person, so to read the complete opposite on the page… it’s impressive.
“Javi this is-”
“It’s terrible isn’t it?”
Your head shoots up from the page to look at him.
“Quite the opposite, Jav. This is fantastic.”
His shoulders drop, an obvious tension leaving his body. “Really?”
“Really.”
Javi releases the breath he was holding and smiles wide.
“So…” you start and his smile turns nervous. “Who is your dream cast for this movie Javi?”
The little boy who's always dreamed of this day immediately shines through his eyes. Before he even speaks, you know that whatever he’s about to say will come with explanation and passion.
“I uh, had an idea.”
