Night Terrors and Rainbows

Z Coffin

There's still so much I don't know about Mika's last 4 years. Yuu ponders.
They better not have been cruel to him.
But they most definitely were....
I'll kill them all.
They will pay one way or another.
He can hear Mika quietly scuffling around in his sleeping bag behind him, softly cursing under his breath.
But for now, I have him back. That's all that matters.
Haha that must be quite the dream. He thinks, still gazing at the night sky.

Mika's muttering started to become more audible and  Yuu tires to listen in:
"No....fwryd sthp....fkcu...." He jumped at the sound of something hard hit the concrete floor of the shed.
What?  Yuu turned around to see where Mika had slammed his fist onto the floor beside him a moment earlier. He can hear Mika's voice clearly now.

"No....Ferid don't do this....Why?....Remember your word. Our deal—please stop...come to your senses." Mika said in an eerie-calm, reasonable tone, limbs slightly twitching, anxiously, as if he knows what's about to happen--some tension in his relaxed and delicate features that only Yuu could ever recognize.

Mika?
Abandoning the doorway,  Yuu starts to make his way slowly towards him.

"NO DON'T DO IT...Remember your promi—You can't. Do. This...."
Mika's tone now louder, losing its calm—pleading—almost like a child, with the Ferid in his dream.
"I did everything you asked all this time...plEASE! DON'T HURT THEM!!...."
Yuu watches Mika's breathing pattern begin to quicken, his face contorting with a horrifying realization that sends chills down Yuu's spine.
"N-nono no nononO...you're not going to...." Mika whispers—shaking his head—his hand comes up to clutch the chest over his beating heart—as if that would make it all stop. His limbs jerked in their place.

Yuu looks down, by Mika's side now. He's re-living it all...isn't he? He he turns over this thought slowly, sadly.

Mika. Wake up, it's only a nightmare! Yuu tries to cup Mika's face in his hands, patting at his cheeks to get him to wake up. Come on. Come on...

But to no avail, Mika's head suddenly whips from side to side crying out loudly—never aware of Yuu's touch.

"SSSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOoPPP!! GEtAWAAY FROM THEM—leave them alon
—DON'T YOU  D  A  R  E  TOUCH MY FAMILY, FERID, I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!!"

Mika wake up! *cheek patpa—*

—Mika's previously jerking limbs explode into a frenzy of kicks and punches and mid-air scratches that send Yuu flying back. He lands on his rear nearby. Whoa.
Mika is about to burst out of his sleeping bag, struggling under the complete restriction of his attacks at dream Ferid in frustration. "HHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR..." Seething, growling.

Good God Mika, you're going to burst out of that sleeping bag. He sits propping one elbow on his knee.

Hey! If you defeated that "dream Ferid" ...would you wake up?
Would it make these nightmares end?

Don't worry, Mika.
I'll get you out of this... I Promise.
