Title: Dragons

Suzaku stared over at the sleeping figure lying beside him. He had been going around with Princess Euphemia all day, and she suggested they stop in the garden to take a break. After a few minutes, she had fallen asleep, and he didn't want to wake her up. She looked so peaceful in the grass lying on her side with her hands tucked under her head.

"Suzaku..." He heard her say.

He thought that she must have woken up, so he replied, "Yes, Princess Euphemia?"

"Suzaku, save me!" She shouted as she rolled over. Her eyes were closed, but her mouth was twisted into a fearful frown. "The dragon's coming this way!"

He stared at her for another moment and let out a small laugh when he realized that she was talking in her sleep. It then dawned on him that he was in her dream, and he blushed. She was dreaming about him saving her from a dragon? 'Well, I am her knight, but why would she be dreaming about me? Shouldn't she be dreaming about someone else? Shouldn't someone special be saving her, someone she loves?' He thought. Then he really got flustered at the idea of Euphie being in love with him. He shook his head trying to shake away the thought. "That's crazy." He told himself. "But then why was she dreaming about you?"

As he was wrestling with the possible answers to that question, Euphie woke up. She sat up and turned to him, rubbing her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Suzaku. I didn't mean to make you wait on me while I slept." She apologized.

"It's okay." He replied. He thought about her dream and debated about whether to talk to her about it. He didn't want to embarrass her, but he wanted to know why he was in her dream.

She looked over at the conflicted look on his face and questioned him. "Is something wrong?"

"N-no!" He quickly stammered out while waving his hands in front of him. "Nothing's wrong."

She didn't believe him though. "You can tell me, Suzaku. Whatever it is, you can tell me." She had such a gentle look in her eyes, and the soft smile she gave him made him feel like it was okay.

"Well, I heard you talking in your sleep." He began.

Euphie looked at him in shock. "Wh-What did I say?" She asked, embarrassed that he had heard her.

Suzaku could tell she was embarrassed so he said, "It was nothing. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you, Princess Euphemia."

She grabbed his hand, wanting to know what she could have said to make him so nervous. "It's fine. Please tell me."

"Well, you said something about me saving you from a dragon." He told her. He watched as her face became as pink as her hair, and he began to blush too. "I mean I understand talking in your sleep, but I-I don't understand why I was in your dream, why I was the one saving you from the dragon." He added.

Her blush got even darker. She turned her face away from him and answered, "It-it's just that you're my knight, and I l-l..." She paused for a moment and squeezed his hand.

He thought for a moment she was going to say she loved him, but instead she looked him in the eye and said, "And I like to think that you'd protect me from anything, even in my dreams. You would, wouldn't you?"

He was somewhat shocked by the answer, but that was just like Euphie. She never ceased to surprise him. "Of course! I'll protect you from anything. I promise." He stated as he smiled at her.

She smiled back at him. "Thank you, Suzaku."
