Share so she sleeps

*^TSC POV^*

I was woken from sleep by a knock at my door. 'Who could that be so late at night?' I got up and opened my door a crack.
"SC?"
"Red?!" I opened the door so she could come in.
"You ok?"
"Couldn't sleep."
TSC looked at her and noticed that she really did look extremely tired. He had noticed the past days she had had bags under her eyes. How was he supposed to help with that though?
Red sat down on the bed while SC closed the door.
"Have you slept well the last few nights?"
Red shook her head. Something seemed to be bothering her. I sat down next to her on the bed.
"I... I had a nightmare... Two days ago, and it's still bothering me!"
"Oh red. Is that why you haven't looked to good the past days."
"Yes..."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Red shivered.
"I couldn't... I don't want to think about it. It makes me sick."
"The more you don't talk about it, the more it will haunt you."
Red stared at the ground.
"Alright... But can we talk about tomorrow? I wanted to come here just to be with you and not in my room alone."
"Alright. But you need to sleep or you'll feel even more awful."
Red hesitated.
"But I don't want to go back to my room."
"Uh, you can sleep here."
"But... What about you?"
"I can sleep on the ground."
"But-"
"No buts, you need sleep."
I got up and pulled out some blankets and a extra pillow. When I turned back red had was laying down on the bed.
"Comfy?"
"Mhm."
I put the blankets down near the bed and made it as comfortable as possible.
"You sure your fine on the ground?"
"Yes red, I'll survive."
SC couldn't help but glance at her. She looked much better resting and sleeping. He turned off the lights only to hear her whimper. He quickly flashing the lights on again.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you have any type of nightlight?"
She had sat up and was staring out the window. SC let out a sigh.
"No. Would it help to have someone or something next to you, keep you safe?"
Red looked over at him.
"Like what?"
"Eh... Me?"
Red eyes glittered.
"Please! I don't feel safe alone!"
SC turned the light off and climbed in next to her.
