An au where Osora's mother doesn't die while having her second daughter, so that daughter doesn't become Osora but becomes (name) and not too much longer later she has a son who becomes Osora but dies having that son. Arias and (name) are close, knowing each other since they were kids... with a growing, great romance. Set around the time that Arias was moved to live in the Calaveras castle.
Arias very commonly stated the night in (name)’s room or the other way around, but there were always one or two nights where they didn’t stay together. Those usually went fine, just extra neediness in the morning/next day… until tonight. Arias has surprisingly fallen asleep at a decent time, but at around two-three at night he woke up. He pretty commonly had nightmares- but never had he had one so gut wrenching, horrifying, traumatizing as the one tonight. He was almost on the verge of tears it was that bad. (Name)- his previous love who he would do, give, and take anything for, was hurt. Horribly hurt. He couldn’t just get over it- as soon as he woke up, he got up, blanket still around him, and went to (name)’s room in a stupor manner. He entered the room, locking the door behind himself, and went to (name)’s bed, tightly though carefully wrapping his arms around her, practically shaking. He didn’t want to wake her, but he needed to feel her in his hands- know that she was okay and safe. “(n-name)… baby…” a shaky, quiet, desperate voice would mumble, tightly shutting his eyes.
