Yewang pov

I was in the kitchen when I heard a small creak coming from my bedroom, it sounded like a window.
It's too cold to open up...
I should make sure Mu closes it soon.
I finished filling my glass with water, and headed back to the room. Suddenly, I heard a bunch of shuffling noises coming from inside, so I opened the door all the way. In the room, I saw Mu on the floor, in tears.
I felt my knees begin to shake as I realized something was wrong, and I rushed over to his side to find out what it was. He was out of breath, and he brought his knees up to his chest, and buried his face in between them. "Mu? Mu?!" I shouted repeatedly, but he wouldn't answer. Instead, he simply hid his face, and continued to weep. I looked over to the opened window, and I looked outside to see if there might be a problem out there. I looked all around, and at every inch of the street, but I couldn't see a single thing that looked out of place. I still shut the window, as it was cold, and leaves had started flying inside. I leaned back down to Mu's level, and tried to get him to open up, and look at me. He stayed in place for a while longer, but eventually looked up at me. ...sniffle... "He's here." I heard him say through his sniffles. He pointed towards the window, and quietly repeated those same words again. "He's here.. HE'S HERE! HE'S HERE!!"
He suddenly began shouting, and using his hands to move home body backwards and against the bed. I disnt know what i was supposed to do, I didn't see anyone outside.. I looked out the window once more, but I still couldn't see anyone other than some students at the art school.

I sat down next to Mu, and pulled into my arm. "Mu?" I needed to get an answer out of him, but it didn't feel like I would "Mu?" I asked again "....." I didn't get a response. "Baby, there's no one out there. Who did you see? Please tell me." "....." okay, so he's not gonn- "You won't believe me even if I tell you, so please just drop it." Mu said with a pretty stern voice. Well I didn't expect that.. I felt disbelief at the sudden attitude I was getting from my boyfriend. He'd never once spoken to me like that before. Judging by the shocked and guilty face he made, I don't think he meant to raise his voice at all. "I'm s-sorry.. Yewang, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry...."
He said that while leaning in, and I accepted his apology by leaning into him as well. I held him in place for a few minutes as he cried into my shirt. "Please forgive me.. Please.." He seemed really upset about this, he always was sensitive about stuff like this. "Mu, look at me. It's okay. It's okay!" I said, trying to reassure him. "Are you sure you're not mad?" He said looking at me with his big eyes, and I really couldn't be mad at him. "You know I can't stay mad at you." I told him. "Are you sure? Cause if you are, I can make it up to you..." huh?
"Now there's something to consider, come here." I said patting the space next to me after getting up to sit on the bed. He smiled and got up onto the mattress, right next to me, and leaned in for a kiss.

Yewang grabbed Mu by the waist, and pulled him up onto his lap, finally connecting their lips. It wasn't the first time they had done this, so they were prepared with all the necessities to make it a good experience for both of them. Yewang gently laid Mu down on the mattress, and crawled on top of him, making sure he didn't break the kiss. He suddenly changed his demeanor, grabbing Mu's legs, and roughly spreading them apart as he began kissing down his neck and collarbone. Occasionally licking upwards, and kissing his way back down, going farther each time. All the while Mu had been moaning loudly, and grabbing at Yewang's hair. Yewang then unbuckled his belt, and just as he was getting ready to undo his pants, they both heard a knock at the front door.

Damn it  I quickly lifted myself off of Mu, and ran to the door to see who it was. I checked the peep-hole, and saw that it was Mu's friend, Jeff. I made my way back to my room to make sure Mu was, well, presentable. And I let him get the door. I don't really like Jeff, so I chose to stay in my room, and listen in. I left the door open so that I could hear them better, though, I couldn't make out everything.

"Hey? Did something happen? I heard a lot of rustling coming from your dorm..."
"Yeah, yeah, everything's fine! Actually, did you see anyone weird? Like, an old man? Anyone at all?"
"Uhm, no... Why?"
"I-it's nothing. Do you wanna come inside? Or we could go out somewhere."
"I can't, I have a project.."
"Oh, maybe some other time then?"
"Yeah, definitely."
"Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow, goodbye!"
"Yeah, bye!"

I heard the door close, and Mu's  footsteps making their way towards my room. "Honey, it's late. We should get to bed if you wanna get up in time for school." I reminded him of the time, it was 7:30, and I know he's gonna take a few hours to get ready for bed. It always does. "Do you have work tomorrow?" He asked "Nope. I gokt the day off." I responded.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna take a bath... You can join if you want.." He said that, and I eagerly followed closely behind him to the bathroom..

I looked at the time, and saw that it was past 11:00 pm, and that's when i started to hear a light snore coming from Mu. I laid awake staring at the ceiling, still thinking about what happened earlier, and silently hoping it wouldn't ever happen again.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!! NOOO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!! GET AWAY!!!!!"
I was violently awoken by a soul ripping scream coming from my left. I jumped up in bed to my boyfriend to try and calm his screams, but the second I touched his shoulder to assure him that he was okay, he suddenly ran out of bed. He booked it straight out the door, and I followed him, trying to slow him down. He was faster than me, and so he ran all the way outside, still screaming his lungs out. I couldn't just let him run around the streets like this, and at midnight none the less. I had to chase him down the street, calling his name repeatedly, but he was still a ways ahead of me. "GET AWAAAAAY!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" "MU, CALM DOWN! JUST STOP, PLEASE!!" I finally managed to catch up to him, and I was forced to grab him. "Mu, calm down! It's okay! You're okay! Please just come back. We'lltalk inside, okay?" We were both breathing heavily, and he jumped into my arms, and just said "ok." I carried him back to the dorm, and sat him down on the couch. He stayed quiet for a bit, but eventually he spoke up

"Do you remember when we both had the same dream? It was right before I went to the hospital. Y-you remember that, right?" I thought about it, and sure enough, I recalled the memory pretty quickly. "Y-yeah, I remember.. Why?" I asked "I had the same dream that I did all those years ago..... the one with Freddie." As soon as he said that name, everything else can back to me. And I realized why he had gotten so terrified.
