Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft golden hue across the room. The morning was quiet, peaceful, but Eirik stirred restlessly beneath the weight of something unfamiliar , warmth.
Something felt off. Blinking sleep from his eyes , Eirik's heart jolted when he realized the position he was in.
His body was entangled with someone else's, an arm draped securely around his waist, legs intertwined. Panic surged through him, his breath catching as he realized it was Kaelix holding him close.
"What in the realm?" Eirik muttered, his heart skipping a beat.
How did this happen? His mind raced as he carefully lifted his head to look at Kaelix, who was still sound asleep, his face relaxed, his breath steady.
His first instinct was to jolt away, but his body froze as memories of the previous night came rushing back in.
The nightmare that had shaken him to his core. His cries that had woken Kaelix.
