Shorts- Basil's Nightmare

With Sunny and Basil

No one's POV:

Basil tossed and turned in his bed, going back and forth, shivering. despite getting over the large amount of guilt he felt for keeping Sunny and his secret for over 4 years, he never went to therapy afterwards, causing him to still have terrible nightmares, this got more and more common the longer he had gotten over it, thankfully, the nightmares had nothing to do with SOMETHING- or even Sunny for that matter.

Basil woke up in a cold sweat. he quickly sat up still disturbed by the unpleasant nightmare, he was breathing heavily.

Basil stood up from his bed and grabbed one of his pillows, holding it like how Aubrey used to hold her stuffed toy. he walked out of his bedroom into the dark hallways slightly illuminated by the bathroom light which he kept on. Basil always got really shaky after having nightmares, so he was really wobbly while walking and could hardly stand up straight due to how much he was shaking. He continued walking down the halls looking for something to calm him down, then he remembered- his plants.

Basil now was able to calm him self down as he remembered that his plants were in the living room. Basil decided to check them before going back to bed.

Basil counted all the flowers, and remembered which friend they represented, Hero; Roses, Mari; Lily of the Valley, Kel; Cactus, Aubrey; Gladious, White Tulips; Sunny....

Basil began to feel a wave of sleep come over him as he counted the last of the flowers...the melatonin he had taken was finally kicking in....

*THUD!*

Sunny's POV:

What was that?! I looked over onto the floor and-

"BASIL?!?" I said as I quickly got of the couch and rushed over to Basil. He had seemed to have passed out, but why would he be up!? it's past 3AM?! I sat there for a second trying to process the situation, but I can't just leave him there.

I picked up Basil and carried him over to the couch where I was sleeping. despite me being a couple months younger than him (I don't know their birthdays and it's 11 PM so bear with me), I was still much taller. I questioned whether it would be okay with him or not, but at this point I couldn't help it. I laid there beside him on the couch. I pulled the blanket over him because he seemed to be shaking a lot, was he afraid of something? I hope he'll be okay when he wakes up.

I hugged him tight as I started to fall back asleep, I really should have questioned what would happen the next morning....

Basil's POV:

The next morning.

I don't know what happened, was that another dream? I was counting flowers and...and then what?

I feel safe, I don't want to wake up just yet.

I'll just open my eyes,

thank god it's

Sunday.
