dialogue heavy / comfort / 274 words / rafayel x mc

being hunted by nightmares of the incident, mc visits the sea

"fancy seeing you here, miss bodyguard" the artist took a seat next to her on the rocks, looking ahead into the sea. "didnt think youd like late night swimming"

no response. his bodyguard was hugging her knees, eyes locked on the waves. he took a closer look and noticed how distraught her face looked.

"what's wrong?"

"it's nothing, i just wanted to see the sea. why are you here? inspiration?" she smiled

"dont switch the subject onto me, dont pretend to be okay. do you not trust me?"

"its not that at all! I just... it's dumb"

"no feeling is ever dumb" she sighed at his response, fingers reaching to the tide that had risen.

"i've been having nightmares again about... the accident..."

"with your grandma and caleb?"

"yeah... I just feel like, I couldve done something. I mean I saw the weird figure I shouldve-"

"put yourself in danger?"

"thats one way to put it"

"no, its the only way. things happen for a reason and you're still here with me for a reason. dont go doing anything dumb that could kill you, especially following weird figures without telling anyone."

she chuckled "i thought i was the bodyguard? here you are protecting me"

his face turned serious "if this job ever makes you prioritize my safety over yours, you oshould quit immediatley. you should be your own priority."

"i think my job description would beg to differ but i'll do my best to take care of myself" a yawn escaped her and she snuggled closer to her client, his arm wrapping around her.

"take a rest, i'll can take care of you now"

ive made a challenge to write one short story every day, or scene may be a better way to put it. when i used to write more in other fandoms i averaged 2k words but it's a bit hard now. anyhow, i wanted to thank everyone for the support pearly tears got, i was expecting 3 notes but it definetley went over that. ok now im rambling.

my ask box is open if you have a request or want to discuss smth!
