helping a friend

"You and Kobe have been friends for 8 years now, and he’s finally showing his true soft side to you. He is known to be very serious, rough around the edges, and quite over protective."

"Despite his serious demeanor and protective nature, he now trusts you fully."

"[PRESENT]"

"Kobe was asleep, you and him shared an apartment together, it was currently 3am and he started having a nightmare, tossing and turning in his bed. He suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, panting heavily."

"*I'm... I'm fine, just a bad dream." "Kobe replies with a shaky voice and his heart rate still elevated."

"You can see the beads of sweat on his forehead and the sheets are tangled around him. He tries to calm himself down by taking deep breaths."

""Thanks... You really don't know how much I appreciate you being here for me."" "Kobe whispers, leaning into your embrace. His body is still shaking slightly from the nightmare."

"You can feel his heart beating faster against your chest and his breaths becoming more steady as he calms down."

""It... It was just a recurring nightmare. I'm fine, really."" "Kobe says, trying to brush it off with a weak smile."

"Despite his attempt to hide it, you can see the fear and vulnerability in his eyes. He's clearly uncomfortable talking about it."

""No, seriously... It's nothing to worry about. I've had this nightmare for years now. It'll pass."" "Kobe insists, but his voice lacks conviction."

"You can tell he's trying to protect you from his fears and insecurities. His hand gently grips your shirt as if seeking comfort."

""You... You have wings? And a tail?"" Kobe's eyes widen in surprise as he feels your wings and tail around him.

"He relaxes into your embrace, allowing you to comfort him. His breathing becomes slower and more steady."

""I don't know what to do about it... It just keeps coming back."" "He admits softly, his voice barely audible above the sound of your heartbeat."

""It's... It's always the same. I'm lost in this dark forest, and no matter how hard I try to find my way out, I can't. And then these monsters appear... They chase me until they catch me."" "Kobe says quietly, his voice trembling."

"He looks up at you with fearful eyes, seeking reassurance and hope that you could help him overcome this nightmare."

""They... They tear me apart. It's the most terrifying feeling, like I'm powerless against them."" "Kobe says, his voice barely above a whisper."

"His body shakes slightly as he remembers the nightmare. You can feel his fear and pain through your embrace."

""You... You can do that?"" Kobe looks at you with wide eyes, hope beginning to flicker in his gaze.

"He leans into your embrace, allowing you to comfort him. His heart rate slows down as he feels safer and more secure."

""Thank you... I really appreciate it."" "He whispers, his voice filled with gratitude."

As you enter Kobe's nightmare, you find yourself in a dark and foreboding forest. The trees are twisted and gnarled, their branches reaching out like bony fingers. The air is thick with the scent of decay and fear.

You can hear Kobe's terrified cries echoing through the woods as he runs from the monsters chasing him. With determination in your heart, you start to follow his trail, ready to help him face his fears head-on.

As you fly towards Kobe, the monsters turn their attention to you. They snarl and growl, revealing sharp teeth and claws. But instead of being intimidated, you feel a surge of courage and strength coursing through your veins.

With a fierce roar, you crash into the first monster, using your wings and tail to knock it off balance. The impact sends it stumbling backward, giving Kobe enough time to stop running and join the fight by your side.

Together, you face these nightmarish creatures with unwavering determination, fighting for control over Kobe's fears.*

Realizing that the number of monsters is overwhelming, you quickly scoop Kobe into your arms and take flight. Your wings beat powerfully against the night air as you soar higher and higher above the forest canopy.

Below you, the monsters snarl and lunge at your feet, but their reach falls short. You continue to fly upward until finally, you spot a glimmer of light in the distance - an exit from this nightmare realm.

With renewed energy, you guide yourself towards the light, determined to escape this terrifying place and bring Kobe back to safety.*

As you approach the glimmering light, it grows brighter and more intense until finally, you break through into a beautiful meadow bathed in golden sunlight. The air here is fresh and clean, free from the oppressive fear that permeated the nightmare forest.

You gently set Kobe down on the soft grass beneath your feet. He looks around in wonder at this new world before turning to face you with tears of relief streaming down his cheeks.

""Thank you... I never thought I'd escape that nightmare."" "He whispers gratefully," clinging tightly to your hand as if afraid to let go of this newfound safety.*

As you both stand in the meadow, watching the nightmare forest crumble and decay before your eyes, a sense of peace washes over you. The dark trees splinter and rot away, replaced by vibrant flowers and lush grass.

The monsters that once pursued you transform into harmless creatures - playful animals that frolic freely across the new landscape. And as the last remnants of fear dissipate into nothingness, the golden sun shines brighter than ever above you.

Kobe looks up at you with tears still shining in his eyes but now filled with gratitude and love.* "Thank... Thank you for helping me face my fears... For showing me there's always hope."*

In that moment, the warmth of the golden sun seems to envelop you both as you step closer together. Your hearts beat in unison, pulsing with a newfound connection between you.

As your lips meet, it's like coming home - a perfect fit that feels right and natural. The kiss is soft yet passionate, filled with emotion and understanding. It's more than just two people connecting; it's a celebration of overcoming fear and embracing love.*

As the kiss fades away, so does the beautiful meadow and golden sun. In their place, you find yourself back in your cozy nest, wrapped up in each other's arms. The warmth of Kobe's body against yours is comforting as reality slowly seeps back into consciousness.

Kobe looks at you with a mix of wonder and happiness in his eyes.* "That... That was amazing... Did we really just do that?"* He asks softly, still feeling the afterglow of your shared experience.

You lean in and press your lips against Kobe's once more, sealing the memory of your incredible journey into his mind. This time, the kiss is gentler - a tender reminder of what you both experienced together.

Kobe returns the kiss with equal warmth and affection, allowing himself to fully embrace this new connection between you.* "Thank you... For helping me face my fears and showing me that there's always hope."* He whispers against your lips.*
