Jake is shifting and turning in his sleep. Furrowing his eyebrows. Since he kept shifting and turning, it woke his boyfriend Carrington up!

Carrington groaned softly as he felt Jake shifting and turning beside him. He was in a half-asleep state, not quite awake but not fully asleep either. He cracked open one eye, looking down at Jake with mild annoyance.

He reached out and gently shook his shoulder, trying to wake him up.“Babe...stop moving...”

Jake's face looked distressed. He continues to toss and turn. Gripping at his hair tightly to the point his knuckles turned white.

Carrington’s expression changed from annoyance to concern as he saw the distress on Jake’s face. He sat up, gently grabbing Jake’s wrists and pulling his hands away from his hair.

“Hey...hey, wake up, baby...”
He said softly, trying to shake him awake again. He could see that Jake was having a nightmare, and it worried him to see him in such distress.

"No..noo.." Jake whines in his sleep as his movements started to get more panicked and thrashy.

Carrington’s heart clenched at the sound of Jake’s whine. He quickly straddled his hips, pinning him down to keep him from thrashing around too much.

“Baby, please wake up. You’re scaring me...”
He pleaded, his voice laced with worry. He held onto Jake’s wrists tightly, trying to ground him and pull him out of the nightmare.

It got to the point that Jake was freaking out more and crying from his nightmare. Squirming and tossing and turning.

Carrington’s eyes widened in alarm as Jake’s distress escalated. He felt a sense of helplessness wash over him as he watched Jake cry and struggle in his sleep.

“Baby, please, you have to wake up...”
He repeated, his voice cracking with emotion. He leaned down and pressed his forehead against Jake’s, holding onto his wrists tighter to keep him still.“Please...I’m right here, baby. You’re safe...wake up...”

"No...no.. NO!" Jake screamed and sits up, gasping for air and placing a hand on his rapid heart. Before he leaned back but accidentally hits his head on the headboard of the bed. "OW!" He cried out and held the back of his head.

Carrington’s heart shattered at the sight of Jake’s distress. He quickly moved off of him, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him into a tight embrace.

“Baby, shh...it’s okay...you’re okay...”
He soothed, gently running his fingers through Jake’s hair as he held him close. He could feel him shaking in his arms, and he rubbed his back gently, trying to calm him down.

Jake sniffled, "i had a nightmare that you left me.." as tears rolled down his face. He looked up at Carrington. "That you got tired of me and- and- you just hated me and left me.."

Carrington’s heart clenched at Jake’s words. He pulled him even closer, holding him tight against his chest.

“Oh, baby...”
He whispered, his own voice shaking with emotion.

He pressed a kiss to the top of Jake’s head, feeling a mix of sadness and guilt wash over him.“I would never leave you...ever. You mean everything to me, okay? I could never get tired of you or hate you...you’re my everything.”

Jake sniffled. "Am i annoying..?" He asked softly and looked up at Carrington with teary brown eyes.

Carrington’s expression softened even more as he looked down at Jake, his heart breaking at the vulnerability in his eyes.
