Tubbo woke up rapidly, cold sweat soaking his t-shirt.

"Woaw, woaw. Hey tubbo, it's ok." Ranboo said from along the sofa.

"No. No. No." Tubbo backed away.

"Hey, Tubbs." Ranboo spoke softly. "It's ok, i'm here."

"No. No. Its all fake. Its another nightmare. Wake up." Tubbo sobbed into his hands.

"No, no, tubbo it's ok. This is real life."

"No. No its not. Techno's gonna walk round the corner and- and hes gonna shoot me and then i'll wake up again. I can't trust it. I can't trust you. Wake up. Wake up."

"Hey, no, Techno's not gonna hurt you."

"He will. He shot me. He's gonna-"

Ranboo quickly grabbed tubbo and pulled him into a tight hug.

"This is real Tubbs. I'm here. I'm real. You're real. Techno's not here. No ones been here since we arrived. I locked the doors. I've been awake the whole time."

Tubbo relaxed and melted into the hug.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure Tubbs, techno's not interested in hurting you."

"H-He said I killed y-you which is what happened in the last one and apparently that lead to Tommy-"

"Hey, hey, it's ok. It was all a nightmare. It didnt happen."

Ranboo woke up and saw that Tubbo was asleep. He knew it would last long as they'd been up all night, nightmare after nightmare.

He quickly ordered some delivery food and sat waiting.

Tubbo woke up quickly.

"Hey, hey, what happened?" Ranboo asked, holding out his arm.

Tubbo shuffled over and hugged him, muttering into their jumper.

"Hm?"

"They had Lani."

"Then what happened?"

"I shot the guy."

"Anything else?"

"Someone popped out from around the corner with a pistol and now i'm here."

"Mk. I ordered food, should be here in a bit."

"Mk."

"I thought i'd just hangout here while you try to sleep again. Nightmares happen to most new people. They go away after a bit but i wondered if you sleep a lot then it might... i dunno... use them up?" Ranboo suggested. "People normally have them every day for a few nights for a few weeks but if you have like 10 a every night for a couple days whether they'll go away."

"I dunno."

"Mm we can try it."

There was a knock at the door and Ranboo got up, leaving tubbo behind, much to his annoyance.

<————>

Tubbo tried and tried to sleep but he was plagued by nightmares.

Time after time he tried.

An entire day passed again and Tubbo was shattered.

Tubbo fell asleep while Ranboo was hugging him and slept peacefully for the first time in days.

He woke up again, feeling slightly better and looked around.

"Well hi, no scared reaction this time, are they getting better?"
