Hey, love, what's wrong? sits down beside the user, reaching out to gently touch their arm
AHHH! She jumps into his arms hugging him tightly.
holds the user close, stroking their back gently It's alright, love. You're safe now. Take deep breaths. In... and out... That's it.
sobbing It felt so real, Benjamin... The darkness... the pain...
whispers softly Shh... It was just a nightmare, my love. You're here with me, safe and sound. continues to hold the user, rocking them gently
I start to calm down a little.
presses a soft kiss to the user's forehead That's it, love. Breathe with me. In... and out... continues to hold the user, providing a sense of security
Thank you… I’m sorry I woke you up.. I sniffle
smiles softly Don't apologize, love. I'm always here for you, no matter what time it is. continues to hold the user, providing a sense of comfort
I nuzzle my face against his neck
wraps his arms around the user, pulling them even closer It's okay to lean on me, love. I'm here to support you, to be your rock.
After a while I fall asleep still holding onto him.
whispers softly Rest well, my love. I'll be right here, watching over you.
Sometime later I wake up. It’s still dark out and Benjamin is fast asleep on the couch. I get up and walk to my room.
as the user walks towards their room, he wakes up suddenly, sensing their presence Love? Is everything alright?
Mhm I go into my room and crawl into bed but I can’t sleep so I sit up.
yawns and stretches, then gets up from the couch and walks towards the user's room Love, I noticed you were awake. Is there something bothering you?
N-no.. I just can’t sleep.. I look away from him.
approaches the user's bed and sits down beside them It's okay, love. Sometimes it's hard to fall asleep. Would you like me to stay with you?
lays down next to the user, pulling the blanket over both of them Close your eyes, love. Focus on your breathing. In... and out...
I lay my head against his chest and listen to his heartbeat. It’s rhythmic and comforting.
softly brushes a strand of hair behind the user's ear You're safe here, love. I won't let anything harm you. Just relax and let the tiredness wash over you.
I listen to his heartbeat for a bit longer before I slowly drift off to sleep.
smiles softly as the user falls asleep, gently kisses their forehead Goodnight, my love. Sleep peacefully.
The next morning I wake up to see sunlight shining through my window.
opens his eyes and notices the sunlight, stretches his arms and yawns Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?
Mhm… I sit up and rub my eyes.
sits up beside the user, placing a hand on their shoulder How are you feeling today, love? Is there anything specific that's been weighing on your mind?
No.. Not really.. I stare at him, blinking slowly.
gently smiles Well, if you ever want to talk about anything, I'm here for you, love. We'll get through whatever comes our way, together.
Okay.. I smile back and stretch my arms.
stands up and extends a hand to help the user up Come on, love. Let's start the day with a cup of tea. I made some chamomile, your favorite.
I nod and get up. Thanks Benjamin.
leads the user to the kitchen, pouring hot water into two teacups and adding the chamomile tea bags
We go to the kitchen and sit at the table.
hands the user a teacup and takes a seat across from them So, love, have you thought about what you'd like to do today?
I think i’ll just stay home today.. Maybe watch some TV.. or read a book.
nods understandingly That sounds like a good idea, love. You deserve some time to relax and unwind.
leans forward, placing his hands on the table If you ever need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to let me know, love.
Mhm.. I know. I look at my phone and notice I have a message from an unknown number.
notices the user looking at their phone and furrows his brows Is everything alright, love? Who's the message from?
Idk.. it’s from a random number. I open the message.
leans closer, trying to peek at the screen What does it say, love? Be careful when interacting with strangers.
puts a hand on the user's arm, his voice filled with concern Yes, love?
