Just Another Day, Hopefully It Doesn't Suck.

Guess who's back.. Back again. :))

KAI POV

I blinked as the early morning light seeped through my bedroom window and cast its light gently over my room. It began slowly heating up my face and arms. I frowned, realising I had no blankets covering me.
I rolled over to see Lloyd was still lying beside me. And he had all the blankets wrapped around himself like a cocoon. Only the smallest tuft of his hair was visible.

I smiled and lay still, watching the blankets rise and fall in time with his breathing.

My heat began to race.

We are actually dating. He's actually here.

It almost doesn't feel real.

As I watched him, I noticed his body had began to twitch, and then he curled himself up tighter into a ball, his breathing getting louder.

Not another nightmare I hope?

The twitching rapidly became more violent until it looked like Lloyd was fighting with someone in his sleep.

It's happening again.

I sat up in alarm just as Lloyd began muttering, incoherently at first, but soon I could understand the jumbled words which he was struggling to say in his sleep.

"Let me go! I'm sor-, I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, let, me, go.. please..I don't wa-, I don't want to!"

Hearing the pain and terror in his voice felt like a knife stabbing my heart. I reacted almost instinctively, grabbing his shoulder.

"Lloyd!" I cried, trying to wake him. But that seemed to make things worse. Lloyd's struggling became more violent as he curled up tighter and seemed to be trying to kick the blankets off himself desperately. I tried to pull them off but he was so well wrapped up in them he had essentially trapped himself.

Stay calm, stay calm.

"I'm here, Lloyd, hey, it's only me." I tried to calm him, hoping the words would work like they had somewhat worked last time. I managed to pull the blankets back from his face.

Please be okay.

His eyes were open now, but they were staring into nothingness, glazed over in fear.

An icy chill clutched my heart.

It's like he's not even here.

With one hand still on his shoulder, I gently ran the other through his hair, gently trying my best to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's okay, its just me."

I'll protect you.

Recognition slowly faded back into Lloyds eyes.

"You with me now?" I asked tersely. Biting back on the relief I was feeling until I was sure he was okay.

Lloyd stared at me for a moment, then his face flooded with shock and  realisation. He turned away and lay on his side, clutching his face in his hands.

Oh shit what should I do?

"Hey, it's alright." I said, tentatively resting my hand on his shoulder. Lloyd just curled up and dug his hands into his hair, pulling on it tightly, digging his nails into his scalp.

I didn't know what to say. So I just curled up beside him, wrapping my arm over his shoulder and reaching my hand to where he had his own hands clutching his hair. I carefully clasped one of his shaking hands in mine and began running my thumb back and forth over it gently, slowly prying it away from his face and resting it on the pillow beside him instead. The shaking in Lloyds hand didn't stop, but I could feel the tension in his entire body slowly relax. I nuzzled my head into his back as I continued gently holding his hand in mine. I tried to keep my breathing steady, hoping it would calm him.
