Recap:
'I hope you all are doing okay. I'm doing just fine. Morro's taking care of me and being very nice. I think me being here and being company is helping him. I think it's exactly what he needed.'

The Sunset Ninja then fell asleep, but in a light sleep. Not her usual deep sleep. Brianna started to have nightmares about something. Something she had told P.I.X.A.L.
————————————————————————

~3rd P.O.V~

Brianna looked around her surroundings.

There was nothing but darkness.

"Hello?" She called out softly. "Jasmen, Cole, Jay, Kai, anyone?"

Brianna walked further into the darkness, she looked at her hands.

She was in her Gi, so the ninja must've needed her guardian form.

"Min'na?" She asked in Japanese for anyone.

Just then she heard a voice. Not just anyone's voice, Morro's.

"They're not here, Sunset. They won't save you." Morro's voice told her. "They're not gonna save you because you belong to me."

"What?" Brianna asked, looking around. "Morro where are you at?"

"Look up."

The Sunset Ninja looked up and notice there was now light.

She blinked her eyes to adjust and saw Morro. He was smirking down at her.
He was somehow a giant.

Brianna screamed and backed up, only hitting something behind her. She notices she was in a giant glass bottle.

"You're trapped here with me. You'll have to do my bidding and be my slave." Morro told her.

Brianna looked at him with fear in her emerald green eyes.

Morro laughed. "You're mine, Tourmaline. You're mine for eternity since you agreed for being my bride."

"NOOOO!!!!" Brianna screamed.

Brianna shot up from her bed, panting from the nightmare.

She started crying while covering her face with her hands until she heard Morro beside her.

"Brianna, are you okay?!" He asked with worry.

Brianna shook her head no. "When did you get here?" She asked, her voice muffled but Morro knew what she asked.

"I came in to check on you and say goodnight. When I walked in you were fast asleep at 8:30 PM which you're usually up till 10:30 PM. I noticed you seemed like you were having a bad dream, so I stayed and stroked your face and hair to see if it'll calm you down." Morro told her.

"What time is it now?" Brianna asked, her voice still muffled from her hands.

"9:00 PM," Morro replied, then asked. "What was the nightmare about?"

"I don't want to say..." she said with her hands still covering her face.

"Bri, you gotta tell me and get it out so it won't bother you." Morro told her.

Brianna uncovers her face and looked at her with her teary face.

Morro caressed her face with his thumbs. He hated to see her so upset. He wiped her tears away softly.

"Promise you won't get mad?" Brianna asked softly.

"I won't, promise." He told her.

"My nightmare...was about you." Brianna told Morro looking away.

"What happened?" Morro asked getting concerned.

Brianna sighed and told him her nightmare. She explained it in detail as Morro listened while stroking her face.

Once Brianna was finished, she looked at Morro getting ready to be yelled at, but instead of that Morro hugged her, gently.

Brianna was surprised but hugged him back and Morro started to rub circles on her back.

"Brianna, I am NOT going to make you my slave and make you do my bidding," Morro told her. "You're going to be my wife, yes and belong to me, however, I want you to be comfortable and have you do what you like."

Brianna hugged him tighter and cried silently as she nodded softly. "It's also because I miss my friends and my family."

Morro sighed softly. "I know it's hard on you, but you did the brave thing."

Brianna sighed shakily and kept crying silently.

"Bri, let it all out. I know you want to cry it all out. I'm here to be a shoulder to cry on. I may be a villain, but I care about my bride to be and I don't want you to be upset. It's better if you let it all out." Morro told her.

Brianna nuzzled into Morro's shoulder more and cried. Morro kept rubbing circles around her back and kissed her head every now and then. He also talked to her because of his calming voice.

Morro learned this from Bansha after she found out Morro had a crush on Bri. She told him if his crush EVER got upset, to rub circles on her back, kiss her cheek or for him to talk to her with his voice.

Brianna eventually calmed down and pulled from the hug slowly.

Morro looked at her and wiped the last remaining tears from her face. "You feel better now?"

Brianna nodded. "Thanks, Morro."

"No problem."

"Although, I don't think I can fall asleep now." Brianna told him.

Morro thought for a moment and remembered something he added when he found one of the rooms in the castle.

"Follow me. I have an idea." Morro told her, getting up from the bed.

"Okay." Brianna said as she also got up.

Morro picked her up bridal style and took her to a room. He puts Brianna down and opens the door.

"Ladies first." Morro told her.

"Thank you." Brianna told him walking in, Morro following and closing the door with his element.

Brianna looked around and was amazed. The room had a giant glass ceiling shaped like a dome. It was obvious that the glass was very thick. She looked up and saw a lot of stars.

"When did you-" she began to ask.

"Don't ask." Morro told her.

"What will you do in a thunderstorm and it's lightning out?" Brianna asked.

"Bri, no questions. You should know that I have my ways." Morro winked. "Also turn around."

Brianna looked and saw a bed with pillows and hanging around the walls were lights. At the bottom of the bed were candles, not real ones, but the ones that run on battery.

(Here's what I'm describing, well, the closest, but make the candles what I described and take out the book, glasses, etc 😓):

"Morro, I never knew you were into decorating." Brianna told him.

"I'm not really. I just had a feeling one day I would need this." Morro told her laying down on the bed. "Come lay down beside me."

Brianna blushed softly and laid down beside Morro.

"Let's watch the stars. Sometimes counting stars helps me calm down." Morro told her, pulling the blanket over them.

Brianna nodded and watched the stars as she cuddled up to Morro.

She always went to Jasmen for seeing stars when there was none out at night. Jasmen even made a star crown for her one night.

She kept that crown on till the night was over.

She watched as a shooting star went pass the sky and made a wish.

"What did you wish for?" Morro asked curiously, holding her close.

"Only for me to know and you to find out." Brianna winked softly.

Morro blushed softly and nodded.

The two kept watching the stars and Morro spoke to Brianna after 20 minutes of them cuddling.

"Hey Bri, I want to say that-" Morro was going to finish his sentence till he looked at Brianna sleeping. Her head on his chest and her arms wrapped around his waist as she was on her side.

Morro chuckled and blushed. "Being under the stars must've helped you, hmm? I'm glad." He kissed her forehead softly.

"I never knew I was this soft till you came into my life." He said stroking her hair and he grew tired himself.

"Goodnight my beautiful Bri." Morro said as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

To be Continued...

(A/N: I am NOT joking. When I wrote Morro saying, "counting stars" the song "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic came on since I always have music for background when writing xD
Wish I had fanart of this scene though... ;-;)
