Virgil jolted awake, gasping for air. He shook violently, tears streaming down his face.

Janus awoke with a start, jumping slightly. "Vee?" He asked tiredly. "Hey, hey, calm down. It's alright."

Remus' eyes shot open, holding them tight, but relaxing slightly seeing it was just the two. "Virge?"

Virgil couldn't breathe. He practically clung to Remus. Janus began playing with his hair, scratching gently on his scalp and going over the pressure points. Remus rubbed shapes into his back.

Virgil leaned into Janus' touch, slowly starting to calm down. "That's it," Janus murmured. "It's alright."

"We're here for you." Remus murmured.

Virgil nodded, remembering the old breathing exercise Lane used to make him do. In four, hold seven, out eight, he kept telling himself.

"Good," Janus continued playing with his hair. "It'll be okay."

"Thank you," he mumbled, finally able to speak as the panic slowly subsided.

"Anytime." Remus hummed.

"What happened?" Janus asked softly.

"Bad dream, that's all," Virgil mumbled.

"You wanna talk about it?" Remus offered.

"N-no, it's okay."

"You sure? We're up to hearing about it."

"I know, I'm fine, really.

"Just know we're here for ya." Remus hummed.

There was talking from outside.
