Duke and you fell asleep on his bed together after staying up too late. Doing what exactly? Well, anything from talking, watching movies, playing around, to just listening to the sounds of the Manor. Everything had seemed perfect at least for him

That was until he woke up to a kick from you as you curled up in bed. You often tell him of you're nightmares but he never thought he'd get to see one happen. He doesn't know what exactly to do, yeah, he could try and wake you up but won't that make it worse? Or is that sleep walking he's thinking about?.

"Oh.. no...~" Duke whispered groggily, bringing you're head to his chest and comforting you trying to not jolt you awake or make you comfortable. He's tired and after a bit of initial panicking this was the solution that came to his mind. "It's okay.. you're safe.. I keep you safe." He whispers he hasn't fully woken up yet and he hopes you aren't awake or maybe you are and he's helping you in some way?. Regardless he's glad he can reassure you.
