Night Terrors

Night Terrors (Oneshot)

Clouds rolled past the sun allowing the sun to shine morning light.  The wind gently swayed the green grass. Shinji attentively read his book. Shinji didn't like reading much, but when he found the right book and the right place he found it quite relaxing. He wandered outside because he knew he couldn't sleep.

It seemed every night Shinji's night terrors had only gotten worse, and every night he got less and less sleep. He sighed looking away from the book, feeling sleepy.

"What's the point in sleeping if I'm just going to have nightmares?" Shinji asked himself.

He admired the sunrise's warm glow then peered down at down at his book.  Shinji paused upon hearing quiet footsteps.

"I see you're awake." Kaworu said sleepily.

"I couldn't sleep." Shinji replied simply.

"You haven't slept in days, have you? Kaworu asked.

"No." Shinji said with a sigh of agreement.

"Why not?" Kaworu asked.

"I...get nightmares...sometimes." Shinji said shyly.

"It's very early Shinji-kun and you haven't slept in days. Do you think you could try to sleep?" Kaworu said softly.

"I suppose I could but I'm afraid I will have another nightmare." Shinji said face turning slight pink from embarrassment.

"It's silly. I know." Shinji added.

 "I don't think it's silly at all. Everyone has nightmares.  It's still pretty early. I think I'm going to try and go back to sleep, you should too. You can sleep in my bed if it helps the nightmares go away." Kaworu said with a soft smile.

Kaworu could tell Shinji was fighting sleep.

"His grey eyes; something about those alluring grey eyes, they just look so tired." Kaworu thought.

 Shinji nodded slightly. Kaworu walked back to his room and Shinji turned his attention back to his book. Shinji sighed.

"I can't focus. I'll read later." Shinji thought closing the book.

Shinji walked into his room but before closing the door he looked across the dimly lit hallway to see Kaworu's door wide open. Shinji took a few steps toward Kaworu's room and looked inside. Kaworu was laying on his side. Shinji peered closer but he still couldn't figure out if Kaworu was sleeping or not. Shinji looked back at his lonely dark empty room.

"If I go back to my room surely my nightmares will come back." Shinji thought.

Shinji walked through Kaworu's dark room and pulled back the covers then laid down beside him. 

"You decided to try to sleep." Kaworu said with a light smile.

Shinji slightly jumped when he realized he was awake.

 "I didn't know you were awake." Shinji said.

 "Yeah I was hoping you would try to sleep." Kaworu said quietly.

Shinji liked sleeping next to Kaworu something about how warm he felt and how....how loved he felt when he lied beside Kaworu. Shinji pulled the covers above his shoulders and admired the warm blankets, feeling cold from the chilly morning air.

"I'm glad you decided to sleep." Kaworu said speaking softly.

Kaworu rolled over on his back and then glanced at Shinji. Shinji sighed feeling like he could finally sleep.  Kaworu moved closer to Shinji and lightly hugged him. Shinji hugged back tightly.

"I love you Shinji-kun." Kaworu said giving Shinji a loving kiss on the cheek.

"I love you too Kaworu." Shinji said smiling sleepily.

Shinji and Kaworu fell asleep together holding each other, both of them never wanting to let the other one go.
