Thinking about how Duncan's large hands would glide all over your body as you lay beside him watching the starling stars of the sky, his fingers travelling down to your thighs and making their way back up to your stomach repeatedly while listening to you or just absentmindedly staring at the sky, his fingers looks rough and slightly intimidating but his touch is far from that, if so it’s tender, warm and grounding, he’s very careful with you
He would let you use his bicep as a pillow while his hand plays with your hair, he simply can’t keep his hands off of you, despite the numbness he feels on his arm he’d bring his other hand to trace slow delicate circles on your hip, shoulder, thigh, any skin of yours that is close to him
You would both talk about everything, horses, puppet shows, or even other kingdoms you’re both excited to explore, he would yap about Ser Arlan of course while you already know everything at this point but seeing him getting really enthusiastic about becoming a knight that everyone would speak of warms your heart
Eventually both of you would drift to sleep, he would wrap his arms around your nearly squeezing you while your asleep to the point you have to wiggle yourself just to breathe, his grip is very strong comparing to yours especially the more he drowns to his dreams it would be impossible to free from his grip, you’d give up and just press your face into his chest and sleep along
I love this half-giant half-man lad xD

Minor quibble:
Duncan isn't a Golden Retriever. He isn't nearly outgoing enough.
He's a livestock guardian dog, or a breed like a Newfoundland or St. Bernard - huge, sweet, determined to rescue people.
