Hello! So a little chapter with Darise! Enjoy!

Daring stared blankly at the ceiling, it was late but he could not conciliate sleep. He had tossed and turn with no avail, now he was just uncomfortably there, trying to relax in wolf's territory. His mind raised with millions of thought in his head making it virtually impossible for him to keep hi eyes closed. He needed so desperately to get it out of his chest.

He turned once more, exhaling loudly before hearing some footsteps getting closer. He froze at the thought of waking somebody up by all his movement, thinking maybe Bad Wolf would even consider making him sleep outside, why not? It was out of his territory. So when he gazed up finding Cerise tiptoeing towards him, he felt utter joy and relief, as well as surprise.

"Cerise?"

"Shh, my parents might hear us" she sat on the couch next to him.

"What are you doing here?" he whispered back.

"Keeping you company" she muttered lying next to him, cuddling in his chest.

"If your dad finds us…" Daring started.

"Let me worry about it" she smiled hugging him.

Daring finally chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist while with his other hand he caressed her hair, playing with her ears.

"You couldn't sleep either?" he quietly asked.

"Not really" she admitted.

"Nightmares again?" he questioned worriedly, but Cerise shook her head.

"No, nothing like that"

"Ok" he said more calmly resting his chin on top of her head, one of her ears tickling his neck "So, what kept you up?"

"I guess I needed to know if you were alright"

Daring smiled heartedly "I am supposed to be the one worrying over you"

"You know I care just as much"

"I know, Cerise"

She nuzzled closing her eyes, feeling protected under his embrace, but the thought didn't leave her mind "Are you going to be alright?" she asked in delicate voice "you haven't turn in a while" she stated "maybe you should"

He shook his head lightly "It's fine, I promise, love"

Cerise smiled holding him tighter, a soft giggle escaping her lips.

"What?" he asked smirking

"I just like when you call me that"

Daring had a smile of his own now, delighted by her reaction.

"I love you so much" he said, his voice turning a bit sleepy now.

"I love you too" she felt her eyes closing, being lulled by the sound of his heartbeat and surrounded by the peace his scent evoked on her.

"You should go back to your room, you are going to fall asleep" he said soothingly, but his red rose just shook her head, snuggling closer to him "Come on, if either of your parents walk on us we will be both in trouble" he just felt the embrace get tighter.

Daring decided not to fight her, he really didn't want her to go either, so he just hugged her closely and rested his lips on the crown of her head, knowing he could keep her safe and sound, that she could sleep with no nightmares plaguing her dreams.

Red waked up early, sensing something was odd, it might had been her mother instincts, but whatever she was expecting to find, it was definitely not the two youngsters cuddled in the couch soundly asleep.

Red quietly approached shaking Cerise's shoulder to wake her up.

"Mom?" she groaned tiredly, then remembering just where she was "Mom?!"

"Shush, you really don't want your dad to wake up" she grabbed her forearm making her stand up "to your own room, young lady"

Cerise felt too embarrassed to refute, her ears folded back like a scolded cub and disappeared through the door. Red then just sighted, noticing how uneasy the sleepy prince became when Cerise had left. So she just walked to the kitchen and prepared her first cup of coffee, that day it she would definitely need plenty.
