Ominis lifted me up in his arms and carried me upstairs to my room. As my head rested against his neck, I couldn't help but take in his wonderful scent - a combination of walnut, rose pepper, and vanilla.

"You're so handsome *hiccup* and such a gentleman *hiccup*  Ominis," I said, interrupted by a hiccup.
"How come *hiccup* you don't have a girlfriend?"*hiccup*

He stopped walking and looked at me, with a concerned expression on his face. "Oh Merlin, you're a drunk mess. Do you need some water?" he asked.

I nodded even though he couldn't see me, grateful for his concern. "Yes, please. Thank you, my handsome boy," I said, still hiccuping.
He shook his head, smiled, and continued to walk.

"Ominis!" I said.
"Yes, my princess?" he replied, his voice soft and gentle.
"You didn't answer at my question!" I said, my eyes locked on his.

He looked at me with a shy smile, his cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. "Oh, Merlin," he said, his voice filled with humor. "I don't have time for that. I'm too busy trying to keep up with you."

I couldn't help but laugh at his playful response, feeling my heart fill with joy and happiness.

"That's not a valid excuse, Ominis! Besides, it was you and Sebastian who said that I had to come tonight," I reminded him with satefaction.

"My heart is alredy taken, I just wait for her to realise i'm the right man for her" He said shyly.

"I'm sure she is," I replied, smiling at Ominis. "You're an amazing person, and any girl would be lucky to have you."

"Well let's get you to bed now. It's going to be a long day tomorrow," he said, as we finally reached my room.

He laid me down on the bed and tucked me in. "Sweet dreams, Princess," he said as he kissed my forehead.

"Can you stay here until I fall aslepp?" I asked, feeling shy.

"Of course, Y/n."
He sat beside me in bed, stroking his fingers through my hair, and I felt myself start to drift off.

In the middle of the night.

I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. It was one I had several times before throughout the years. In the dream, every person I cared about died because of me. It was a terrifying experience that always left me shaken.

As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of Ominis sleeping soundly beside me, his body resting on top of the covers. I couldn't help but smile as I realized he must have fallen asleep while waiting for me to doze off.

I didn't have the heart to wake him up, so I just laid there, basking in the warmth of his embrace. His arm was wrapped around my waist, holding me close, while his head was nestled into my neck. His presence was comforting, and I felt safe and grateful to have him here with me.

As the moonlight shone down on him, casting a soft, ethereal glow on his pale skin. He looked like an angel, peaceful and serene in his slumber. For a moment, I forgot about my nightmare and just laid there, admiring his beautiful features as he slept. I couldn't help but feel my heart swell with love and admiration for this amazing man lying beside me.

I can't lie, it was oddly pleasant to have him here holding me.

But I can't help but worry about Sebastian. His face when he read the letter was heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what he must be feeling right now... alone and scared.

Oh, fuck, Sebastian will not like that I shared a bed with Ominis.

I wish I could go to Sebastian right now, but i'm still feeling the effects of the night's drinking. I know he wouldn't appreciate me visiting him in this state. Despite that, I can't help but miss him terribly.
