7. No More Nightmares

Me and Poison climbed down the ladder of the Diner from the roof and he laced our fingers together. We walked in silence until we got inside the Diner. Poison turned to me and said, "You should probably get some rest, you look really tired." I didn't even realize how tired I was. Crying really does wear you out. I didn't want to go to sleep though because I knew I would have nightmares, I always do.

"Yeah." I mumbled disappointingly. He noticed the look on my face. "What's wrong?" He asked concerned. "I don't want to go to sleep." I said. "Why?" He asked me. "I don't want to face the nightmares." I said looking at the ground. "How often do the nightmares happen?" He questioned. "Every night, I never really get a good night's sleep because the nightmares are too bad." I said reluctantly. I don't want to burden him more than I already have.

"You can sleep with me if you want. Maybe it will help with the nightmares, you know, just to have someone there." He said. "You don't have to Poison, really I'll deal with it." I said, turning to walk away to my own room and face the ineffable nightmares that awaits me in my dream world, well more like 'the hell inside my head' world.

Before I could, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. "No, remember what I said. Don't take everything on all by yourself. I'm here and I want to help you. You just have to let me. Please." He said with a pleading look on his face. After thinking for a while and knowing I can trust him I looked at him and nodded. "Okay." I said.

"Good." Was all he said and lead me to his room by taking hold of my hand again. We got to his room and he opened his door, letting me enter first and then following after me. He closed the door and got in the bed. I climbed in too and crawled in next to him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I curled up into his chest. He felt warm and I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. I felt save and at home. This didn't feel awkward like I thought it would feel. No, this felt right.

I drifted off to a peaceful sleep after I heard Poison softly say. "Goodnight, dream sweet dreams and I'll be here when you wake up." That night I didn't have any nightmares. I actually slept the whole night through and had wonderful dreams of a world without BL/ind where Poison and I could live a happy life together with the rest of the guys.

The next morning when I woke up I saw that Poison was still there, just like he said he would be. He was still holding me close and I didn't mind. He woke up after awhile and looked down into my (e/c) eyes and smile. "Morning." He said. I stared back into his hazel eyes. "Morning." I said back warmly. "How did you sleep last night?" He asked. "Really good, thanks and you?" I replied. "I slept great. I'm glad you got some decent sleep. Looks like you'll be sleeping here from now on." He said with a smirk.

I blushed at that. "What?" I stammered. He just continued to smirk at me. "Yup, seeing as you can sleep peacefully here with me I think it best if you always sleep here with me. You're also nice to cuddle." He said.

That cheeky bastert.
