    Your heart trembled fitfully in your chest as you awoke from slumber, eyes slowly cracking open in the looming darkness of your room. Your palms were clammy and you could feel the cold sweat settled insistently on your back. The air rushed back into your lungs as you escaped from the nightmare and the haunting images you had been held within.

         Despite now being free from the dream, you were still frantic with fear, unable to shake off just the feeling that the dream had given you, hands and limbs weakly quivering. 

      You quickly propped yourself up as best you could, kicking around shakily to unwind yourself from the duvet.

      "My love?" A soft, sleepy voice called to you from the other side of your double bed, and you jumped in shock when you felt a warm hand at your elbow.

         "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" You croaked out, voice heavily layered with sleep. You squinted through the dark, over your shoulder where you knew he would be laying.

      "It is no matter," Korekiyo responded and you heard the falling of the blankets as he pulled himself into a sitting position, back flat against the headboard. A gentle caress of his fingers brushed through your messy bedhead before he slowly manoeuvred you closer to himself, and you welcomed him warmly, curling into his side. 

       One of his arms encircled your shoulders, his other hand resting flat against your chest, sensing the racing thump of your heart behind your rib cage. His cheek rested against the top of your head.

      "What has troubled you to wake you from your slumber?" Korekiyo soothed, gently brushing his fingertips over your shoulder in slow, rhythmic movements. You closed your eyes, sinking back into the dark and tuning in to the steady rise and fall of his chest and shallow breathing, as sound as clockwork. 

    "Well.." You launched into a quiet, shaky description of your dream, confessing all of the darkest details, letting it all flow out like a waterfall, your mind cleansing itself of the dark images. 

      "My love," Korekiyo hushed softly, placing a singular finger on your lips as the detailed recount dissipated. "It is nothing more than a dream, and that is all it will ever be, fret not."

       With a gentle sigh, you listened to his melodic whispering, barely focusing on the words but the velvet sound of his voice, lulling you deeper into a state of warm comfort.

      "Has your mind been eased?" You responded with a gentle nod, the soft pull of sleep nudging at your consciousness. "Good, you are always safe with me, my love." 

      Slowly, you both slid back down, his head resting on the pillow while you dug your face in against his shoulder, succumbing to the warmth of the duvet. 

      "Korekiyo?" You called softly. "Do you think you'll ever get tired of me?"

      "My love," He gave a slight chuckle, and you felt his unmasked lips press to the crest of your head. "That is a ridiculous question, but I will humour you. No, I will not get tired of you. you are the most beautiful being I have seen, and nothing will lessen my love for you."

     "Mm, I love you too, Kiyo." You responded softly, a slight smile pulling at your lips as you drifted back off to sleep. It was the most peaceful sleep you'd had in a very long time.
