He was late.

He was always later than he said he would be on nights like this.

I wasn't mad, just so awfully worried that something bad had happened. It was certainly weird that I had grown to think that way, as when I had first discovered what he did for a living, I didn't speak to him for a week. I can't even remember what made me come around; I think that came quite sometime after he kidnapped me and forced me to live in his mansion.

But, there I was, pacing up and down the living room with a million worries swarming through my head.

It was annoyingly possible that he had died.

2am struck on the clock, and I finally heard movement at the front door, accompanied with the voices of the guards welcoming in who could only be C/N. Sure enough, he walked into the living room, cloaked in his usual black leather.

"I told you not to stay up for me."

"So?" I couldn't help but raise my voice, as the tears I had been fighting to hold back began pouring down my cheeks, "I was scared you had died!"

"I don't die that easy, baby," he spoke calmly as he wrapped his arms around my torso.

I pulled away and began pathetically hitting his chest, "But I'm always in the dark about what's happening here! Why can't I go with you?"

"It's too dangerous," he said sternly.

"But-"

"It's. Too. Dangerous."

"I-"

"I don't want to lose you, baby."

I broke down in sobs in his chest, as he proceeded to mutter sweet nothings to me to calm me down.

"Come on, I'll run you a bath."

***

After the bath, I sat on our bed wrapped in a cream towel that smelled of vanilla and lavender: it was my favourite scent, so C/N always made sure everything soapy smelt of it. He had pulled me in between his legs, and was braiding my hair into french plaits while I cosied in the warmth of his body. I loved times like that the best, because it truly felt like there was no danger in the world, and just C/N and I in our own little untouched haven.

"You know I have to keep you safe here, to protect you," he eventually said, tying a bobble on to the end of my dampened and plaited hair.

"I know," I murmured.

"Too many people want to hurt me... and if they ever found out about you... they'd target you, because you're weaker..."

"I know."

"You know that's why I can't bring you on missions."

I sighed in defeat, "I know, C/N."

"I do this because I love you... so so much."

"...I love you too..."

He pressed a kiss to my temple, before moving to get off the bed, "It's late, baby, we should go to sleep. Do you wanna sleep in my shirt? Like you normally do?"

I nodded.

C/N smiled softly, and ruffled my hair, "Come on, then, you know they're at the other end of the walk in wardrobe."

***

My morning the day after started with the scent of waffles disturbing me from my peaceful slumber, in which I was trapped tightly in none other than C/N's loving embrace. At first, I had slept in the next room over, that originally had had a conjoining door; but when I accepted his love I began sleeping with him more and more until he sealed off the room altogether. A knock on the door alerted us of the butler having arrived with the breakfast, and C/N groaned and stumbled out of bed to unlock and open it.

He carried the tray of waffles and other breakfast foods himself to the bed, thanking the butler as he wasn't entirely incapable of manners when it came to people who respected and obeyed him. I smiled at him tiredly as I pushed myself up into a seating position; my mouth was already watering in anticipation.

"I know you love waffles, baby, so I made sure we had them for breakfast to make up for last night."

"You don't have to make up for that stuff... I know it's your job... I was just being whiny."

He grinned and pressed a kiss to my temple, "You have a right to be whiny, and I'd give you the world if I could."

"But you can't," I giggled, accepting a plate of waffles from him.

"Freshly made waffles from my head chef. Only the best for my little princess, of course."

"What?" I faked offended, "I am your queen, not your princess."

He chuckled, wrapping an arm around me to kiss me properly on my lips. "You are my everything."

I felt heat rise to my cheeks, but slapped him playfully, "You're so cheesy..."

He chuckled. "So, what do you wanna do today, angel? In light of last night's work, I have a day off."

"Could we go out to the pool?"

"Hm. Only if there's enough guards on shift."

I sighed a little, "Okay."

C/N observed me carefully, before taking my chin between his thumb and forefinger, "Hey- look at me." I looked up at him. "I want to take every precaution possible to make sure you are safe. And I mean every precaution."

"I know," I grumbled, "I'm just still getting used to it... it's not that I want to leave or don't love you."

"Good, because I do love you."

"I know, I love you too."
