Renora- Never Alone By Ray-Ken Watch

I had to keep watch. It was my turn in the rotation. Waiting on lookout was awfully boring, but I knew it had to be done. Jaune and Ruby were fast asleep in their sleeping bags. I only smiled, and shifted my gaze over to Ren. He slept with a very light snore, an expression of discontent on his face. His brows furrowed in distress. Ever since we came across that first destroyed village, he had been fairly quiet and reserved. I knew his struggles, and the agony that tore at his mind and heart. We agreed to keep quiet about the subject, but it obviously still bothered him even though we tried to avoid it. It's like trying to sweep an Ursa under a rug...it just doesn't go down right.



I watched Ren persistently, seeing him toss and turn in his sleep. His breathing was ragged, and he began to tremble.



I approached slowly, crawling over to him to shake his shoulder. This had been the third time he had a nightmare that I know of. I would have to ask Jaune or Ruby about their rotations if I were to know of any more. I whispered his name in his ear repeatedly, trying to wake him up without waking the others.



"Ren. Ren wake up," I said as quietly as possible.



Tears began to stream down his face and I started to panic.



"Ren!" I said a little louder than I would have liked.



Bolting upright, Ren breathed heavily, now sobbing out his terror.



"Shhh, Ren! Ren it's okay! It's Nora," I spoke as quietly as possible not to wake the other half of team RNJR.



He stared at me with fear etched on his features, his beautiful magenta eyes still leaking tears.



"Nora?" he questioned with a shaky breath.



"Yeah Ren, it's Nora," I replied with a smile.



"Th-thank Vale," he mumbled into his hand, choking on his words. I couldn't stand to see him like this, and I wrapped my arms around his shivering form. On the battle field, he was so silent, ruthless, and absent of all emotion, but certain things can bring out a person's true colors.



"Please don't leave," he sobbed into my shoulder. I only shushed him and rubbed the middle of his back soothingly, like a mother would a small child. I crawled into the magenta sleeping bag and smiled gently. He only clung onto me tighter making me blush slightly at how persistent he was. I lied my head back on the small pillow and stroked his silky hair. The raven strands flowed through my fingers like a river over stone. I would start my fingers by his scalp and run them back down through his locks, repeating the process over and over.



His breathing lightened and his trembles ceased. Although, he still hung onto me with the same strength.



I leaned down to his ear and whispered gently, the most gentle tone I was capable of, "I promise you Ren, you'll never be alone."
