You/Krul Tepes - Nightmare

(Seraph of the End)

You did your best to stifle your yawn but it failed.

"Why don't you go to bed?"

"Me? I'm not tired. I said I was going to stay up with you."

Krul made her way over to you. She wrapped her arms around your neck and leaned in to give you a soft kiss. The two of you let your foreheads rest against each others while your eyes remained closed.

"So you haven't been yawning for the past couple of minutes?"

"Nope. I think you're hearing things."

"I can hear 100x better than you. Go to bed. I'll join you in a few minutes."

She stepped back and made her way to walk out of your shared room. You held her wrist to keep her from leaving.

"I...." Krul turned around with a frown when she heard you struggle to speak. It was odd as you never hesitated to tell her something. "Nevermind. I'll go to bed."

"Did you want to tell me something, (y/n)?"

This time, it was Krul holding on to your wrist to keep you from walking. You gave her a small smile and shook your head.

"No. I'm just tired. Goodnight, Krul."

Krul watched as you practically dragged your feet to the bathroom. She wanted to find out what you had wanted to tell her but she was called to deal with another matter. Before she left the room, she had a guard stand outside of the room to make sure they would call her if something happened.

Krul was just finishing a meeting when the guard she assigned barged into the room.

"Lady Krul! It's (y/n). I think something is wrong."

Krul and the guard rush to the bedroom to find you tossing and turning. You were sweating and they could hear you whimpering.

"Stay outside. If I need you, I'll call."

He nods and rushes out to leave the two of you alone. Krul walks to the side of the bed you were sleeping in. She tries to gently shake you awake but you remained sleeping.

"(y/n).....(y/n)....(y/n) wake....." She whispered your name in your ear but it still wasn't working. "(y/n)!"

If it weren't for Krul's fast reflexes, you would've ended up hitting her.

"Krul! I...I'm so sorry."

She lets go of your wrist and takes a seat on the spot you made for her.

"There's no reason for you to apologize. It was a natural reaction. You were having a nightmare."

You pull up your knees to your chest to hug them.

"It was nothing. I'm sorry for worrying you."

"It wasn't nothing. It was obviously something scary enough that made you want to hint me when I woke you up."

You turned to face her, finding her eyes filled with worry. With a sigh, you retell her the events of the mornings. How you had been out of the castle for a walk and ended up seeing one of her corner someone at an alley to drink their blood. You ended up chasing them away but not before seeing their mouth covered in blood.

"Did you see his number?"

"What?"

"His badge number. Did you see it?" Krul's eyes had turned red. They remained you of the guard you had caught. You unconsciously scooted a little away from her. She took notice of the fear in your eyes and took a second to calm down. "I'm sorry. That's probably the last thing you were thinking about. Why don't I hold you and you can try to get some sleep? I'll wake you up if you're having a nightmare."

You nodded and moved to lay back down. Krul quickly changed into her pajamas and joined you in the bed. She wrapped her arm around your waist and pulled you flush against her body. It didn't take long for you to fall asleep with you in her arms.

You woke up to find that Krul had left. You weren't sure how long it had been nor could you tell as her body ran cold. Sighing, you got ready for the day.

"Lady Krul is waiting for you in the dining hall."

"Oh, thank you."

You began to walk and he followed behind you.

"You don't have to follow me. I can find my way."

"Lady Krul asked me to keep you safe."

While you could still order Krul's guards around, her orders were always a top priority. There was nothing you could do about the guard so you just nodded and continued on your way.

"Good morning, (y/n). Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning, Krul. I believe so. I don't recall any nightmares."

"I'm glad to hear that. I apologize for not being there when you woke up but I had to take care of something." She waits until you take a seat until she continues. "I found the guard who you chased off and I took care of him. No one should be doing that without my permission."

"Krul, you....."

"There are no excuses for his behavior. He knew the consequences of disobeying my laws."

You knew the man was dead. Being the cause of his death made you feel guilty but it helped you be at ease to know he wasn't around any longer.

"Thank you, Krul."

"Anything to keep you safe, darling."
