Vanitas and Noé

Nightmare

"As long as we are together you mean?"

And Vanitas wakes up from his nightmare.
"Damn it, it's been a week since brother came here and I'm still having nightmares...truly torture" he whispers to himself tears rolling down his face

"I will never set you 'free'"

"Ugh Noé...Shut up"

Vanitas looking to Noes bed...surprised, since Noé was gone.

"Liar. Pfft"

It's been 5 minutes until Noé came back in the room. Vanitas was still crying.

'Oh there he is...he is back'
Vanitas was curious to know what happened, why he was gone in the middle of the night since that was one of his habitats and Noé usually sleeps until afternoon but he was scared to ask cause Noé would hear him sobbing then.

"Vanitas...I know you are awake I just went outside cause Murr escaped through the window...just telling u in case u were worrying...no actually in case you were curious."

Vanitas wanted to respond but then suddenly fragments of his nightmare showed before his eyes...he saw himself as a child and all the torture in this god damn lab and so he started to shake heavily his eyes turning blank and more tears rolling down his face.

"Noé" he said sobbing louder

"Vanitas?!...Nightmare again?...odd usually u don't care to tell me and just silently sob but judging from how much u cry it must be worse than usually"

"Noé its not very appropriate to say this right now" his voice shaking and out of breath "remember u said u would never set me free...rem-"

"It's ok Vanitas u don't have to say it I'm here" Noé sits down on Vanitas' bed and leans over to him...a little surprised as Vanitas turned around and grabbed on to his shirt and silently started to cry as his nightmare began to replay in front of his eyes "Noé...it was so bad...blood everywhere...corpses...all these ongoing tests day after day...and always Number 69...probably I deserved all this...I'm truly nothing more than a number I guess" Vanitas almost screams

'Most likely this must be the actual aftermath of meeting his brother a week ago..he kept this in for a long while now cause he didn't want to seem weak I guess...but well even Vanitas who seems to ignore all his feelings will get caught by them at some point. That's only natural.' Noé thought to himself

"Hey Vanitas you are more than a Number in fact u have never been one...just because someone else defined u as one it doesn't have to be the truth. Dr. Moreau is utterly crazy no need to listen to anything someone like that says...that's all I can tell you I can never turn back time and undo all the things he did to you and many others...I can't...but what I can do is being here for you as I promised" Noé says while pulling Vanitas in for a short hug

"Oh well Now let's stop talking about this sentimental crap or I might have to throw up" Vanitas says voice still shaking from crying

Noé starts to laugh out loud
"Hey...for the first time I'm being like this and all u do is laugh u Damn Vampire"

"I'm sorry I'm not used to you acting humble"

"Yeah because I usually don't. This is an exception so u better keep that in mind"

"I thought so" Noé said yawning
As he stood up going to his own bed knowing Vanitas is in a better state by now

When suddenly Vanitas grabbed his hand

"One more thing...please keep your promise"

"Don't worry I will not leave you alone I will stay with you...Since you never been able to trust anyone I would like to be that for you no matter how long it takes" Noé smiles
