Lyn nodded happily .
If she makes Kazuya something hand made, won't he be happy with her? Allen had never appreciated such things . As Lyn carried on listening to Kazuya talking, for some reason, she still felt Prince John looking at her . That was strange, the two of them had walked quite a distance away now . It's not possible for him to still be looking, and yet Lyn looked back just in case . As expected, she could no longer see him . Perhaps she's just imagining things . It's been quite some time since she last saw him, so it's natural that things have ended up this way .
Before Lyn could say anymore, however . .
Suddenly her vision went dark .
. . .
Chorus of people screaming .
The area covered in flames, and yet if one looked closely they would see small droplets of snow dancing in the background .
"Your cursed, cursed!"
"That's her, it's because of her that we are living like this . "
"Kill her, kill her . "
"Kill the Witch!"
…
"Aghhh, Hahaha!"
Lyn woke up screaming, face broke out into a cold sweat . She looked around and found herself in Kazuya's room . Did she faint? Kazuya must have carried her here . A deep sigh passed her lips . So much for spending time with him, what on earth is she doing?
She placed her hand on her face, her whole body felt cold . But her whole face felt hot, it felt like she was burning, "I'm not cursed," Lyn muttered to herself .
"That's right, you're just you," a familiar and warm voice said . Lyn looked up and saw brown hair and immediately wrapped her arms around him, "Sorry, did you have a nightmare? I shouldn't have left . But I wanted to get you some food . "
"Kazuya . . "
"Yeah . "
Kazuya is here, she isn't alone —of course, she isn't . When was the last time she was alone?
For the last few minutes her breathing remained heavy, she still couldn't get over the nightmare she just had . Lyn doesn't understand what just happened . Though it's not unusual for her to get nightmares, this is the first time Lyn ever saw such a thing .
'Maybe this is what her brother and Ralph were talking about,' Lyn thought . The day after the ball, Lyn saw Ralph . He said he had business with her brother . Ralph is studying alchemy and the unknown . Perhaps he has a lead on her condition . If it's like that, then it won't be long before her brother insists on those restrictions . When he does, it will cut her time with Kazuya short . Lyn frowned at that thought, she doesn't want that to happen . Especially since the relationship, they have now is 'serious' . Maybe she should talk to him about it? However, Lyn didn't want to rely on Kazuya too much .
They may be dating, but when she thought about how much Kazuya's done for her since he got here . The debt she owes him is a lot . So, she can't rely on him . But that doesn't mean she can't warn him . While the two of them are technically, 'enemies,' Lyn deeply sighed and shook her head, there is no use in thinking about those things now . In the first place, she and Kazuya are free spirits . While people may give them commands, they have no actual obligation to follow them . Lyn knew that Kazuya had his orders but it's not as though he was being forced to follow them . The same went for her, she may listen to her brother . But Lyn understood that she could back out anytime .
Lyn accepted the glass of water and nodded, she used the first two mouthfuls to wash the bile from her mouth before she drank the rest of the water . Kazuya was silently watching her, and Lyn knew he wanted answers . However Lyn didn't want to tell him, she didn't want to rely on him anymore than she ought to .
"This isn't the first time you've had nightmares right?"
Lyn could see the gears turning in Kazuya's prodigious brain turning . Even with her silence, Lyn knew it wouldn't be long before Kazuya had everything figured out . Actually, it wouldn't surprise her if Kazuya already knew about it . Rhys found out - and Rhys was under no obligation to keep it a secret, considering how stubborn she was about receiving his help .
"Lyn--"
"I told you Kazuya, it's bad for you staying over so much," Lyn murmured . This was why she evaded him staying over, or her staying over his place . While it was easier to control in her own quarters since the general used a special type of magic to ease her nightmares . Magic cannot completely dispel or rid herself of her nightmares .
Kazuya stayed quiet for a moment, and Lyn thought she finally offended him . Since they started to date each other, they seldom ever fought . Most of the time they were in their little safety bubble . A safety bubble where they revolved their lives around each other . According to her Eldest Brother though, a relationship like that is not healthy . Maybe it isn't, maybe it is . Lyn didn't really understand, all she knew was that this person made her safe - a safety she hasn't felt in years .
Even the nightmares that have haunted her for so long, seem to fade away whenever she is in the warmth of his arms . To her surprise though after those few minutes of deadly silence, Kazuya hugged her, " Don't be silly, whether you have nightmares, wake up punching or screaming . I'll take it all . Your pain is my pain," and of course this man goes off the normal route .
Most people would not be so accepting in this situation, they'd call people like her a freak . Yet Kazuya is once again accepting everything about her, accepting all her obvious flaws .
