A gentle yet chilly breeze made its way through the open house window before mingling with the air inside, leaving a cool touch.
[Name]'s body stirred in her sleep as shivers were sent down her spine. Frowning, she clutched the duvet that was wrapped around her body tighter.
What was the reason for her bedroom's sudden chilly air? She hadn't left the windows open, had she?
She lifted her heavy eyelids, rubbing away the sleep from them to let her glance wander across the room. The opened door to a small balcony was what caught her attention immediately, a muscular figure leaning onto its frame and gazing at the sky that wasn't only sprinkled with millions of stars tonight, but also illuminated by the full moon.
[Name] let her feet slip into her slippers arranged next to her bed before dragging her sleepy body towards the window.
"Hey", she whispered, gently placing a hand on Loki's shoulder, trying not to startle him. A wince jerked his body before he realised who'd touched him.
"I didn't intend to wake you, [Name]", he muttered, concern filling his eyes.
"Don't worry about me", she smiled, settling down across from him. An almost peaceful silence lingered in the air as she inspected his features from afar.
Drained, he appeared drained in her eyes. Though she wasn't quite able to figure it out in the dim moonlight, she was aware those might were tears stains remaining on his cheeks.
The sigh that left her lips was almost inaudibly, yet perceptible enough for him to direct his attention to her.
"Nightmare?"
Silence.
"I don't wish to talk about it", he responded then, averting her glance. She didn't need to look at him to be aware of tears swelling up in his eyes as well as him desperately trying to swallow them down.
It didn't quite work.
[Name] shifted to kneel in front of Loki as he sniffled, clasping his ice cold hand with her own, allowing him to let his tears fall despite his attempts to hide them.
Her free hand brushed his cheek, slowly, carefully, causing him to finally lift his slightly swollen eyes filled with vulnerability he rarely has ever shown, even towards her.
"Come on", she whispered gently, placing a tender kiss on his forehead before rising and pulling him along by his hand. "Let's get you to bed. I'll be with you."
She dragged the curtains in front of the now closed window, then got back onto the sheets next to her lover.
As soon as her body settled down, Loki shifted closer before burying his face in the crook of her neck. She felt his breath, the remains of his tears, everything all at once. He felt overly thankful for being understood without words, and she was aware.
Yet she was also conscious of him already starting to drift on the waves of fatigue again.
This time, she'd hold him so tight, not a single nightmare would dare to cross his mind.
