Ayame yawned as she slowly awoke to see her own bedroom around her. Yes, she was still home at Hellsing. Shifting under the sheets, she realized there was a hand upon her arm. It was Seraphim. A small smirk slipped onto her face. So much had happened last night. She and her companion had talked all night and played their usual games of chess. After that, they went to bed with the usual sleeping arrangment. Seraphim slept at the end of the bed curled up in his miniature dragon form. It hadn't taken long for Ayame to drift off to sleep. That was when it happened. She had a nightmare. It had absolutely terrified her. All of her friends and family were gone, dead, surrounding her. Seraphim, Miss Tenshi, her master, Tasumai, his wife, and their child, Ice, everyone. Ayame waded in a pool of their blood and screamed at the top of her lungs. Then she awoke. Seraphim had turned back into his human form and had come to her instantly. He shushed her and cradled her in his arms. Everything will be okay, Ayame. We're gunna be okay... Turning over in the bed as quietly as she could, Ayame stared at him as he slept. She moved a few of his black bangs out of his face and let her fingertips rest on his cheek for a moment.

"I'm not asleep you know," he muttered quietly.

A small blush appeared in her cheeks as his dark green eyes opened and stared straight at her. His hand clasped around hers and he gave her a small smile.

"Are you going to be okay now? No more nightmares?"

She could only nod. No words seemed to be able to escape her lips as she stared back at him. What was this feeling stirring up inside of her? Seraphim cared for her so, and she knew this. She cared for him also.

"I'll be okay... can we just stay like this a bit longer," she reluctantly replied, closing her eyes once more.

"Of course, dearest. Just tell me when you are ready to head downstairs."

Thus begins the love story of Seraphim and Ayame.
