A nightmare (Short not so short)

----------------

Someone, please, make me stop

Speed was laying on bed while playing videogames. It was late, yet he couldn't really sleep. He wasn't tired at all after having that nap earlier that day.

With his energized eyes and soul who carried the game like it was nothing, he cheered as he got a new highscore!

Speed: Woo! Nice.

He gets out of his bed and leaves the game on his night table so he walks freely towards the kitchen.

Speed: (thinking) After that game, maybe a little snack couldn't hurt... I think there's some leftover sandwiches in the freezer.

As soon as he was about to enter the kitchen he heard a loud thud coming from the bedrooms, making him stop and quickly look towards that direction.

Speed: (thinking) What was that?!

After thinking he quickly rushed into the room where he heard the noise. He didn't even think about it, he was scared that noise could be something as bad as Flare having another of his episodes, putting everyone in danger.

As quickly as he arrived, he opened the door and instantly stepped into the room.

Speed: Is everything okay? What happened-

Black: Dang it.

Black was found upside down with his lower body still on the bed. He was rubbing his head with one paw and trying to get up with the other.

Speed, now sort of relieved nothing bad had happened, helped him stand by giving him his paw. Black stared at him for a second before actually taking his paw, and for a brief moment, he noticed how harsh they were.

He frowned for a moment while caressing his paw, Speed noticed it but didn't say anything and turned to him.

Speed: Is... everything okay?

Black: ...

Speed: Umbreon?

*whimper*

Speed looked at Black in confusion, he saw a version of him he never saw before. He quickly thought Black was probably like this because it was late, or he was tired or-

Black: (Sobbing) I- I'm sorry... I'm so sorry-

Speed: Did you hurt yourself?

Black: *snif* N-no, not at all- it's just-

Speed: A nightmare?

Black stared at him, only to realize that he was still holding his paw. He quickly stopped and nodded, although he definitely wouldn't cry over a nightmare.

Speed, of course, was too dense to think about it. So with his experience, he could only think about hugging him, just like when his siblings had nightmares as well.

Speed: It's okay. It's okay...

This seemed to calm him down a little. Black could feel the soft fur of his neck tingling his face as if he was laying in an open field full of fluffy tall grass. The heartbeats and breathing of Speed were also like a sweet lullaby for him to hear.

Speed was kind of uncomfortable though, so in the meantime he took a look at the room while the light of Black's rings surrounded them. It seemed like he had a little trouble organizing lately and lots of stuff were not in their place.

After some minutes Speed stopped the hug and gave Black a pat on the back.

Speed: Better?

Black: Better, thank you.

Speed: Don't worry about it, whatever you saw was not real. Kind of surprised you cried because of this.

Black fakes a yawn

Black: Yeah, it was probably because I just woke up in the worst way possible.

Speed: Maybe some food will finish cheering you up, let me grab some sandwiches from the kitchen. I was heading there anyway.

Black: Sounds good.

Speed leaves the room, only to come back with two sandwiches not so after.

Black was sitting on his bed yawning for real this time, and when Speed offers him the sandwich he gladly takes it.

Black stares at his room. And as he smiles, he takes a bite of his food, enjoying Speed's company on this cold night.
