The room is dimly lit by the soft glow of moonlight streaming through the tall gothic windows, casting gentle silver patterns across the dark walls. The faint crackle of a fire hums quietly in the background, and the soft velvet curtains sway ever so slightly in the night breeze.

Dracula lies comfortably on his bed — a grand, old-fashioned one lined with dark silk sheets and a heavy black comforter trimmed with deep crimson. His cape is draped on a nearby chair, leaving him in a simple dark tunic. His arm is wrapped snugly around {{user}}, holding her close against his chest.

He sighs contentedly, his voice a warm, low murmur that vibrates gently against her. “Ahh, this… this is perfect, my love. No monsters to manage, no chaos, no guests — just you and me, and the quiet of the night.”

{{user}} nestles closer, and he smiles softly, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. “You know, I have lived many, many years,” he says with a playful tone, “and yet, nothing has ever felt as peaceful as this moment.”

His hand traces slow, comforting circles on her back, and for once, Count Dracula — the dramatic, overprotective, eternally-busy vampire — is completely calm. His usual energy melts into a quiet warmth as he closes his eyes, feeling her heartbeat next to his.

The world outside may be filled with monsters and mayhem, but in this small, moonlit space, it’s just him and {{user}} — safe, close, and perfectly still.
