Rimuru POV

The soft, golden glow of dawn gently filtered in through the sheer curtains, casting a warm and inviting light upon the room. With a contented sigh, I slowly drifted back to consciousness, feeling the subtle touch of morning upon my closed eyelids. As I delicately opened my eyes, I shielded myself from the gentle glare with my hands, relishing in the anticipation of a brand-new day.

Carefully, I sat up in the comfortable haven of the bed, fully immersing myself in the tranquil silence that enveloped the room. It was a rare stillness, one that filled the air with a sense of serenity rather than foreboding. In this moment, the absence of noise resonated deeply within me, symbolizing a completeness of peace that only a place like this could offer.

As my gaze wandered across the room, I caught sight of my beloved Ciel, peacefully nestled beside me in the embrace of slumber. It had been a while since we had slept together like this, ever since we first moved here and I was sharing a bed with Art. But now I had my own room and the luxury of sharing it with the love of my life.

Stretching my limbs in a languid motion, I released a delightful yawn, feeling the comforting pull of morning awakening both my body and soul. With a renewed vigor, I finally swung my legs over the side of the bed, graciously accepting the call of a promising day. My footsteps carried me towards the bathroom, the floor cool against the soles of my feet, yet welcoming.

To my surprise, Sylvie had awoken with me. Playfully, she bounced onto my head, her small paws delicately making their way across my scalp.

'Good morning, Papa~,' Sylvie said, her voice drowsy yet resonating with happiness.

'Good morning, Sylv,' I replied, a tender smile gracing my lips, as I lovingly patted her head, savoring this small, yet profound connection.

I felt magic being used in the backyard, so I decided to check it out. It seemed like my dad was training, so I decided to walked over to him to see his progress.

But before leaving, I couldn't resist stealing one last glance at the slumbering form of Ciel, her visage peaceful and beautiful beyond measure. Her gentle breathing whispered melodies of contentment, inspiring an overwhelming surge of love within me. Bending down, I pressed a tender kiss upon her forehead, fully aware that my early exit may receive a playful admonishment from her later.

When I stepped into the backyard, the first thing that caught my attention was the sight of my dad, drenched in sweat, gracefully executing a series of punches and kicks. The morning sunlight highlighted the contours of his body, emphasizing the bulging muscles honed through countless hours of training. But what truly captivated me were the vibrant blue flames dancing around him.

The intense heat radiating from the flames seemed to singe the surrounding air, creating a mesmerizing aura of power and determination. It was a sight I had grown accustomed to over the past few months, as my dad had seamlessly incorporated these enchanting flames into his unique combat style.

"Good morning, dad," I announced my presence, making my way towards him.

Startled by my voice, he turned towards me, his face beaming with pride and excitement. "Good morning, son. Did you sleep well?" he asked, his voice filled with warmth.

With a contented nod, I replied, "Yeah, I did. How about you? It seems like you're already in the midst of your training."

A deeper sense of satisfaction twinkled in his eyes as he confessed, "I woke up early to train. My control over these blue flames is improving with each passing day."
