Dreams In The Rain

Every fall it happens. After the first cold shower. The damp smell of leaves hit the air and that ice cold breeze of approaching winter was all around. It rained cold pellets after dusk but not quite night. In that strange late twilight it did rain for hours. For part of it, your husband stood in the icy rain. His face towards the sky with eyes shut. You called him to come back, worried he'll catch a cold. When Jiraiya turned to look at you, there was that tired look in his eyes. He knew it. You knew it.

The next week is going to be rough.

This time it's in the security of a closed building at least. Well sorta... it's one of the many abandoned buildings that are scattered across the land. A small one room house with a destroyed hearth being the only remaining piece of evidence that this was once a simple but warm home. At least it was shelter.

Last year when it started, you and Jiraiya were in the middle of camping. It was hard to keep a low profile when he yells and thrashes in the middle of an echoing forest. It felt very exposing. Thankfully, no one came to do anything bad. It just had you on edge. Nothing you did woke him up. He was stuck in his horrible dream until he awoke by himself. He was shaking and pale. He told you he was fine and to go back to bed. It was never spoken of again.

This year should be interesting. You and Jiraiya aren't alone. This year, you and him are the caretakers and teachers to a young man. In many ways, Naruto's presences has been a good thing. Perhaps him being here will calm some of Jiraiya's bad dreams.

Thankfully Naruto was a very heavy sleeper. Super heavy. The boy could sleep though a tornado. Still so, you know that Jiraiya would prefer to have some space. Only the truly brave can handle those flailing limbs. You set his cot up against the far wall and told him to trust you. You knew it would happen soon.

You set yourself and Jiraiya on the opposite side of the room. He barely noticed. He merely collapsed upon the cot with his face buried in the pillow the moment it was rolled out. He doesn't sleep well during the fall months because he didn't like to. He's aware he gets seasonal nightmares and they are most prevalent in fall.

He does the same thing every year. Jiraiya pulls several all nighters before his body physically cannot handle another night of no sleep. You've tried to tell him it's not healthy. He can't prolong the inevitable and dwelling on it only makes it worse. He always ignores you. The reasoning being that this is how he always handled it. He stays awake and struggles throughout the day. He can barely talk. He can barely walk. He's hardly suited to train a young man. Half the time he's snickering about something he thought and is too tired to articulate what the hell had him in stitches. He becomes a little too clingy at times as well. Jiraiya will drape himself over you like a heavy blanket, using his size to overcome yours. Sometimes he insists on walking while holding you in a bear hug.

At the third day mark he begins to hallucinate. Mostly all auditory. He'll stop suddenly and look off in some random direction asking you quietly if you heard that. It's very worrisome. One would think he would just stop once that happens. But he pushes through it with the hopes of being so tired he just blacks out without dreaming. If he ever got too sleepy before he was ready to go to bed, he does random things to wake himself up. He yells. He'll pour water over his head. Most times he'll just pace in circles as his exhausted brain thinks too much. It's very flawed logic.

It never works. You watch him as it starts. You can't sleep when you know he's only going to suffer. He's tossing and turning. Sweat began to build on his body. His heart is pounding hard. You can hear it in the otherwise silent room.

"N... No..." He gasps in the word.

It's then he begins to thrash. Jiraiya has always been a very animated sleeper. He rolls and flips. His leg will twitch when he's running in a dream. He breaths deeply when he's climbed mountains to the very top in his dreams. He starfishes when he dreams of floating on water. One time he even summoned a toad in his slumber... they weren't impressed. He may or may not have had some explicit dreams with some explicit results in his body. He promised they were about you with a flirty wink.
