This story takes place after the war. Spoilers ahead!
You and Conrad live in the Valentinan castle.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It was the middle of the night, and you couldn't sleep. You sat alone in one of the grand hallways of the Valentinan castle. King Alm, Queen Celica, and the others were far along in their sleep while you couldn't seem to. You started thinking about your life before you lived here.
You and your family lived in a small village near Duma tower, but after the final battle with Alm, Celica, their teams, and Duma, your village was obliterated, along with your home and parents. Celica and Alm found you shortly after and promised to give you a home. You didn't know it was going to be this luxurious though! You had gone from living in an average village house to living in a castle! You were forever grateful to Alm and Celica.
*Rustle Rustle*
Your thoughts were interrupted by what sounded like someone moving in a room near your spot in the hallway. Worried and scared, you inched towards the door to investigate the sound. You slowly opened the door, praying it wouldn't creak. After you successfully opened the door, you peeked in to see who was in there. The moonlight from the hallway shown on a familiar face.
Conrad.
You immediately blushed. Conrad had always been so kind to you, and he was so handsome. He instantly grabbed your attention when you moved here.
From what you could see, he was in distress, tossing and turning and a face covered in sweat. He had his jaw clenched and looked really scared. You ran over and tried to wake him up.
"Conrad! Conrad are you ok? Wake up!!", you yelled.
He opened his eyes, and you let out a sigh of relief.
Then he smacked you across the room.
Your back hit the wall, and you almost got the air knocked out of you. You used what little strength you had to get up and shout, "Conrad, why did you do this? How could you!"
A look of realization hit his face, his once lifeless eyes gaining a soul. He blinked and looked at you for a few seconds before realizing what he had done.
"(Y/N), I'm so sorry. Truly. Are you hurt? Please some over.", he said in a quiet voice.
You slowly made your way over to him, as you were still in pain. He lit a candle and brought it up to your face.
"Oh my gods (Y/N). I'm so-"
"I know you're sorry.", you cut him off, "You already said so. Care to explain what happened anyway?"
He hesitated before he spoke, "I-I think I had one of my ptsd episodes. This happens quite often."
You were shocked, "PTSD episodes? Why do you get those?"
"Well.", he explained, "When I was younger, I lost my mother, well, Celicas mother, in a fire. I thought I had lost my little sister, Celica, as well. I found out Celica was well eventually, and I lent a helping hand to her, but the event just keeps coming back to me. I just can't forget it no matter how hard I try."
His eyes filled up with tears. You had no idea about this. You knew Celica and Conrad were siblings, but you had never learned about this fire. You hated seeing Conrad like this. It kind of reminded you of how you were when you first found out you lost your family and home forever. You couldn't help but relate to the man.
Suddenly, without thinking, you pulled him into a hug. Conrad tended up against your touch, but eased into the hug as well, holding you tight in his arms.
"Thank you (Y/N), you just make me feel at ease. Um, if you don't mind, will you sleep with me tonight? P-please don't get the wrong idea! I just need support."
You giggled at his words, "Of course. Goodnight Conrad."
"Goodnight (Y/N)."
Hope you enjoyed!
