Today's chapter was really just me simping for Sung Hyunjae 🤣
Also God. I love how Yoojin and Hyunjae can understand each other. They totally tricked Song 😂
Plus, I like how Hyunjae decided to immediately bring an end to the fight rather than dragging it along (like he initially (probably) planned to and have some fun) the moment he heard that Yoojin is hurt.
Please step aside for the totally not married but married couple/item-skill duo 🤭

All I Ask of You

Summary: You have a nightmare. Neuvillette comforts you
CW: hurt/comfort, graphic imagery
Word Count: 495
Pairings: Neuvillette x gn!reader
A/N: Please pardon any mistakes I made with this. I wrote this while dead exhausted
The night wind whispers as you take a seat on a bench behind the Palais Mermonia. It and the chirping of far off crickets are the only sounds to be heard. This late in the evening, the last of the workaholics has made their way home, leaving the building behind you dark and lifeless. Even Neuvillette has gone to bed, sleeping away the days worries and stress.
But not you. You look up at the stars, watching them dance silently above the city.As beautiful as they are, a pattern of light across the vast, moonless sky, they aren’t enough to distract you from the unease gnawing at your heart.
Faint images--the lingering memories of the might’s nightmares--force their way to the front of your mind. You shiver, curling in on yourself.
“Y/n?”
A soft voice returns your attention to your immediate surroundings.
You look over your shoulder at your lover. “Neuvie…Did I wake you up?”
“No, love. I woke up to drink some water but you weren’t in bed.”
“Oh. I guess I needed some space to think.”
The sky clouds over and a soft rain begins to fall as Neuvillette sits next to you. The sensation, so familiar after all the time you’ve spent with the dragon, is as comforting as his shoulder brushing against yours.
“A penny for your thoughts, love?”
“It was just a nightmare.”
Neuvillette frowns and takes your hand in his. “Again?”
“Mhmm.”
“Will you tell me about it? Perhaps talking will ease your mind.”
“I don’t know, Neuvie. They were pretty graphic.”
“All the more reason to speak. But if you don’t want to, I won’t make you.”
After a moment’s thought, you lift Neuvillette’s arm and tuck yourself under it, resting your head on his chest.
Neuvillette shifts his weight to accommodate the new position, taking the opportunity to start running deft fingers through your hair.
“It wasn’t anything complicated. Not really. It’s just… I don’t think anyone wants to dream about a person literally tearing their own skin off. The agony on his face…it was revolting.”
You shudder at the memory.
Neuvillette wraps his arm around you, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head. “You should have woken me, y/n. There’s no need to suffer alone.”
“You spend all day presiding over court, dealing with Lady Furina, and doing all that paperwork. The last thing I want is to bother you over a stupid nightmare.”
Neuvillette sighs. This argument isn’t a new one to either of you. “I’ve said before, my love, it’s more of a bother to wake up and find you gone.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize. I wish I could chase away these nightmares. It worries me, seeing you up so many nights.”
“But you can’t. All I ask is that you hold me when they happen. That helps more than you know.”
“Always, my love. All you ever had to do was ask.”

do you guys think that kieran would talk about his crush from the van der linde gang to the horses while he tended to them? im a very big believer in that one
brushing a horses fur while he just yaps, yaps, and yaps away about what the pretty member did today, and if they even had a conversation about something as mundane as the weather
