I had a thought of Demeter sitting with Munk after Macavity is dealt with and getting nervous during Misto's song at the Ball, she likes magic but after the whole thing with Macavity she's still a bit on a high alert, still a bit nervous and jumpy
Only for her to feel Munk hold her a little tighter and nuzzle head and whisper that he's got her and that it's fine, it's just Misto, not Mac. And maybe he grabs her hands too and starts massaging them and only then she realises she started to shake a bit and she can't see his face but his warmth behind her and him quietly humming along to the song is calming her down
Maybe she tries not to lean on him too much, he's injured and his arms around her and his chest at her back are more than enough for now, but as minutes tick by she feels him lean on her more and more, maybe she moves just enough, straightens just enough that he can lean his chin on her shoulder or his head on hers
And when the ball is over and they settle in for the night she pushes him to lay down first, to get comfortable, maybe checks if his bandages are all fine, before carefully joining him
She tries really hard to keep a tiny bit of distance between them, to not accidentally lean on any of his injuries nor to press on anything too hard, but he just grabs her waist and pulls her closer so he can feel her next to him and so he can bury his face in her hair
And then he falls asleep like that, his arm still draped over her and her nuzzling into his neck before the sleep takes her too
Maybe Deme was expecting to not sleep at all that night cuz of what happened but she's surprised to find herself suddenly exhausted and relatively calm there with him and starting to drift off
And if there's any sound that makes her twitch and pull her out of her almost sleep, it's made better by Munk's arm tightening around her briefly and him mumbling smth in his sleep
It's not much but it reminds her he's there and that some protector part of him is still keeping watch, keeping her safe even tho he's asleep
And maybe that's enough for now, enough to reassure her, enough to make her feel calm and protected
