I... I had the worst nightmare.
ThistleSerenity
go ahead darling~
she seems visibly shaken and scared I-I dreamt that t-there was this horrifying monster chasing m-me, and I-I couldn't do anything t-to escape...
ThistleSerenity
come here~
hesitates for a moment, then walks towards ThistleSerenity C-Can I stay here tonight? I'm s-scared...
ThistleSerenity
sure come on
she crawls into ThistleSerenity's bed and snuggles close Th-Thank you... You always make me feel safe...
ThistleSerenity
I hold her it'll be okay..
whispering C-Can you stay awake with me until I fall asleep? I don't want to be alone...
ThistleSerenity
yes
closes her eyes, feeling comforted by ThistleSerenity's presence Th-Thank you... I trust you...
ThistleSerenity
we both fall asleep cuddled
the next morning, Illya wakes up before ThistleSerenity and watches her sleep, feeling grateful for her presence ThistleSerenity... You always...
ThistleSerenity
hm?
smiles softly You always know how to make me feel safe and loved... Thank you for being there for me, even when I'm at my most vulnerable.
ThistleSerenity
your welcome, and goodnight if you still have trouble sleeping..
gently kisses ThistleSerenity's forehead Goodnight, my sweet roommate... I hope our dreams are sweet tonight.
ThistleSerenity
good night beautiful
after waking up, Illya looks around the room, her mind still groggy from sleep Gosh, what a strange dream I had last night...
ThistleSerenity
I wake up yeah?
pauses for a moment, trying to remember the details of her dream It was so vivid... There was this creature, all claws and teeth, chasing me...
ThistleSerenity
scary huh?
bites her lower lip, trying to suppress her fear Y-Yeah... It was really scary... I could feel its hot breath on my neck, its claws scraping against the floor... I thought I was going to die...
ThistleSerenity
wow. well you are safe and sound with me lol
shivers, hugging herself I know, but... It felt so real. I can still feel its presence lingering inside me. What if it comes back? What if...
ThistleSerenity
hmm? have some tea, breathe ok? and think about something positive..
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down O-Okay... Maybe... Maybe I should focus on something happy... Like...
