A Hero Drenched in shadows

˚₊ · »-♡→ "Uuu.. h..ungry.."

Once again, Maria was left all alone. Her mother, Rosa, was away on yet another "business trip", when in truth she was out with another man. All she left her child with was enough money to buy food, and a key to their home in case she needed to go outside. Outside of that? Maria was left all on her own.

Her voice squeaked in a small wimper, she hadn't eaten much today, trying to ration the money her mother left her as much as she could. After all, she couldn't spend all of mama's money.. that'd be selfish.

She could barely see down the dark path she was walking, trying to memorize her steps so she could find her way to the nearest convenience store, and then trek back.

There are some things that Belmont can't believe are still going on. Child neglect is one of them.

The smell of cigarettes wafted off him, considering one was wrapped around his lips. He had a plastic bag of snacks, food, and drinks; most of it is adult related, but he could see she needed something otherwise, she would die. He can't have that. Whoever is raising this starving child...he needs to have a talk with.

"Oi!"

Digging a sandwich and a bottle of tea out of his bag, he hands it to her. He could buy another one; it wasn't much for him, and she needed it more. The plastic wrapping was already loose and open; the only thing still sealed was the tea.

"Couldn't sleep?"

"Midnight snack...? Without me!?"

"Looks like we're both night owls."

"Go back to bed."

"Smoke break? This late?"

"Looks like we'll both be tired as shit in the morning."

"Not sleeping is my thing actually,"

"Don't tell me we both had nightmares."

"Honey, it's late."

"I woke up and you weren't there."

"Sleepover where no one sleeps, imagine."

"I can stay the night if you want."

"You'll have serious bags under your eyes at this rate."

"It is peaceful this late....isn't it?"

"Wanna put on a movie and hope we doze off?"

"We gonna start an insomnia club?"

"Please try to get some rest."

"Don't make me tell you what time it is."

"Let me guess....rough night?"

"Look, I found some sheep we can count."

"Let's try decaf coffee right now..."

"Might as well do something fun if neither of us are sleeping."

"Worrying all night isn't going to help you."

"We could try cuddling? It helps me sleep."

"Sleep or no sleep....same bullshit tomorrow."

"Wonder if anywhere delivers at this hour..."

"Take out??? Oh a food coma- you're a genius."

"The stars are lovely, aren't they?"

"I have sleep meds, but clearly they didn't work."

"Dream of anything?"

"Being tired and unable to sleep....now that's some bullshit."

"Warm milk and cookies- could be worth a try?"

"Maybe you'd sleep better if you stop doomscrolling."

"You can tell me if something is wrong....but if not... I'm fine just hanging out in the dark."

i know this topic is a bit overdone, but i wanted to make a more sfw romance & relationship headcanon meme! most if not all of these questions are related to romance and topics that may arise within romantic relationships, but without explicit nsfw topics!
