@horclogiumâ asked: âDo you have nightmares as well?â Ruler inquired with a soft smile as she gently took the new cup of coffee from his hands, setting it aside. Cardia knew it too well, the nightmares that were keeping him awake,m. She had a similar experience, all too similar. âHow about Iâll stay with you? You donât have to feel embarrassed or shy, Iâll simply lie next to you and hold your hand. When I had nightmares, someone did the same for me. What do you say? Letâs try it one time, alright? No coffee.â
   â WELL, Iâd be lying if I said no â ah. â He couldnât even say anything when she took the mug away from him. He momentarily eyed the mug in DISAPPOINTMENT at the fact that he wouldnât be able to have another cup but he supposed this was for the better. He couldnât help but fidget a bit ( perhaps out of mild anxiety ) now that she was properly CONFRONTING him about this. He knew all too well that what he was doing wasnât healthy but he didnât exactly have the mind of STEEL when it came his night terrors.Â
   So when she offered this proposition, he was certainly caught by SURPRISE. â ... Eh ? But thatâs â â He was about to bring up the possibility of how he would be too NERVOUS to sleep ( it wasnât often that he slept next to a woman after all ) but he stopped himself. It was an idea he was RELUCTANT towards as he never had anyone by his side as he slept but it wasnât one he was against either. It was EXHAUSTING having to live like this but he simply did nothing out of ACCEPTANCE that nothing could be done. It was always DIFFICULT for him to reach out to others unless necessary but nowadays, he was just so tired. There was only so much he could take on his own.
   He sighed in DEFEAT and offered her a wry smile. â ... Okay. Iâll try. Iâm sorry that you have to do this but ... thank you, really. Iâm sorry that I always WORRY you so much. I hope this helps you too. â  Â
