The (h/c) female nodded her head in understanding, thanking him softly. When he left, she settled on going to take a long bubble bath, hoping it would help relax her tense muscles, but it seemed that didn't help in the least. Laying on the bed in a pair of (f/c) shirt and a (f/c) tank top, she found herself tossing and turning for most of the day, once again unable to get to sleep. After a few hours, (y/n) found herself moving to the next room, gently knocking on the door before taking a few steps inside, clutching a small, (f/c) stuffed (favorite animal) to her chest. "Ruki-sama? I.. I can't sleep.. Can I.. Sleep in your armchair instead?"
Ruki, who was about to go to bed, heard the knock on the door and opened it seeing (y/n) cuddling a stuffed animal in her arms. He secretly found it cute. He was wearing his pajamas. He realized that she couldn't sleep, while still regretting his question from earlier a bit, he gestured her to come into his room. He sighed and insisted her to come sleep beside him on his bed and said to her that he promises that he won't do anything to her. He wanted her to be as comfortable as possible surprisingly. (Y/n) looked a bit hesitant at first, but after hearing his promise, she reluctant made her way towards the bed. After a moment, she laid down beside him, still hugging the small plushie to her chest between the two of them, pulling the blankets up far enough to cover most of her torso. "Thank you.. Ruki-sama," She thanked him softly, a small yawn escaping her lips. The scars on her back were made more obvious in a spaghetti strapped nightgown such as this, one of the worst scars trailing up her shoulder, stopping about an inch above her collar bone. Ruki went under the covers and turned towards (y/n), seeing a deep scar on her back. He was filled with different kinds of emotions at the moment, but he didn't show it, instead he just closed his eyes slowly and sighed. "Oyasuminasai, (y/n), Sleep well..." He had one of his hand on his pillow.
