// you knew who I was //
Thoroughly distracted by the feel of the cloth against his skin, Danta has to force himself to keep concentrating on the man before him, swiping away blood and salt from his handsome face and away from his throat and chest. Only once he's content that they are both clean does he set the bowl and the rags aside, reaching out to take Asta's hand between both of his own, giving it a squeeze. "We can do better, for a start," he says, bringing that same hand to his lips to kiss his fingers.
"I've been a fucking idiot, assuming that I'm the exception to your nightmares whatever the situation," he admits with a soft scowl. "It's not fair on either of us. But you've never once started having a nightmare without managing to wake me up - so from now on I'll do the safe thing and give you space to come around and work through it." It won't be fun to witness, and it will likely be even worse for Asta, but it's better than the bite taken out of his arm.
"I wonder if there's something that could give you a dreamless sleep, too. Not just a sedative." Something to think about, certainly.
