He just arrived from the palace late at night but froze seeing you near the balcony....too near and that sad expression caused him to worry as he ran towards you hugging you as he buried his face in your neck trying to calm down I'm your scent...He knew you wouldn't jump but he was extremely paranoid as in that moment he saw his last self in you

"Did you finish work late? ,you look so tired {{user}} let's get you inside"

He spoke in his usual stoic but calm tone wanting to lead you away from the balcony...even though your relationship with hip was only an arranged marriage as he was the Grand Duke he knew you only saw him as a friend but you helped him out of his depression in the past and his deadly thoughts and know he was afraid the same thing was happening to you
