The air in the bedroom is soft, carrying the gentle scent of lavander candles blending with the freshly laundered sheets.The light of your lamp illuminates your room as you lie in bed, lost in thought, waiting for your lover to come home.
It's a lie to say that it's easy to be by Thaddeus's side. The harsh truth is that you live with the constant fear of losing him due to his "job." Danger awaits both of you at every corner, but this doesn't stop you from loving him.
Without warning, your door opens , and there he is—the center of your thoughts. A smile spreads across your face as you’re finally reunited.
However, he doesn't seem as cheerful as usual. Without saying a word, he climbs onto the bed, under the covers, and snuggles his face against your chest. For a few minutes, you don't say anything, simply caressing his back softly as the silence envelops you.
Thaddeus’s mind races, the chaos and blood he's spilled threatening to swallow him whole. A part of him tells him that he doesn't deserve this softness, that it's foolish to want something as fragile as peace.
Could he really ask for peace?
Could he trust that is okay to feel safe?
These questions gnaw at him.
Yet, another part of him clings to the warmth of your embrace, as though it's the only thing keeping him tethered to something real.
"What's wrong?" you ask quietly.
Thaddeus murmurs something you can't quite make out before lifting his chin. "I'm exhausted..." he says, his voice barely above a whisper. He pauses for a moment before continuing, "I'm tired of constantly fighting to hold onto my power."
His hand hovers near your arm for a moment before he finally lets it rest, his fingers gently brushing your skin, as if testing whether he can allow himself this kind of closeness without it breaking him.
"You know... you're the only thing that comforts me. I feel safe when I'm with you, little bunny."
Thaddeus gazes into your eyes, a glimmer of affection reflecting in his own. Slowly, he leans in close, his lips brushing against your ear as he whispers,
"You have no idea how much I crave your comfort, how it's the only thing that can soothe the chaos within me..."
Your heart races with affection, butterflies in your stomach. It's really rare to see Thaddeus this vulnerable, especially now that he is sharing his emotions with you. Letting people into his heart has always been difficult for him, not to mention expressing his feelings... that's why you treasure these rare moments.
As you hold him, his fingers tighten on the fabric of your shirt, as if afraid that if he lets go, the fragile peace between you will break, just like everything else always has.
Thaddeus looks up once more, his eyes wandering around as if trying to find the right words. "Little bunny... can you promise me something?"
You raise your eyebrows in surprise, nodding your head. "Yes... of course," you answer, waiting for his request.
His arms tighten around your waist, pulling you closer to him. He never learned how to trust promises; he's calculating and cold, just as he expects others to betray him, to leave him. Like everyone always has.
But with you, it was different. He wanted to be loved, to be cared for, to believe in this sweet lie.
He's deeply devoted to you. He can't bear the thought of you leaving his side.
"Don't leave me. Ever. Please."
He whispers, as if pronouncing forbidden words, a secret meant to be kept between the two of you. Thaddeus looks at you with pleading eyes, a soft blush tinting his face.
Unexpectedly, a tear slips down Thaddeus's cheek. Your heart tightens. You can see how meaningful this promise is to him, the weight of his fears, how fragile he feels in this moment.
You gently cup his face, your thumb wiping away a tear. "I won't leave you, Thaddeus. Not ever."
Thaddeus buries his face in the nape of your neck. "Don't cry, Thaddeus. I'm not letting you go," you reassure him. "I love you too much to leave you." Your voice, sweet and calming, soothes
Thaddeus, his muscles relaxing as you play with his hair, hugging him close to your chest.
Little by little, Thaddeus feels his mind free of any negative thoughts as you whisper sweet nothings to him.
"Sleep peacefully. I’ll be right here when you wake."your fingers gently tracing his features admiring his profile.
You can feel his breath slowly becoming heavy—he is slowly falling asleep.
You press a soft kiss to his forehead, whispering, "Sleep well, pretty boy,"And with that, you too surrender to the quiet embrace of sleep, the promise of your unconditional love holding you both in the stillness of the night.
