It's okay to be alive?

He frowned a little when she apologized about waking him up and he gave a little shake of his head. "Don't apologize. I told you to wake me up when you had nightmares, remember?" He knew she didn't want to be an inconvenience him, but she had become his entire life. She never felt like an inconvenience or a bother - he only felt like she was caring for her and it was the least he could do for all the love and affection he had given her. She had made him revaluate everything in his life in the very best of ways so if all she needed from him was just to wake up in the middle of the night to comfort her after a bad dream that felt like a small sacrifice to make. His brows pulled together with a bit of worry as she described the dream she had been having and gently rubbed her back soothingly with his paw. While he still didn't know the full extent of everything she had been through, he still tried to do his best to understand how her mind worked and how he could help her the best. "They can't get you now - I won't let them touch a hair on your head," he insisted, placing a gentle, affectionate lick on her forehead. He understood that there weren't external dangers he could protect her from any more, but it still felt like the only thing he could really say. "I wish I could go in your dreams and fight them off for you... It's hard to protect you from things I can't bite into." |
