You're asleep in bed when...

Suddenly, you jerk awake in a cold sweat, your cheeks stained with tears. Gasping for breath, you sit up abruptly, hugging your knees to your chest.
Even as you're sitting here and straining to remember, the nightmare is fading away, like wisps of smoke that you just can't quite grasp.  You're not really sure why you want to remember. Maybe to reassure yourself that it wasn't real, and that the feelings that came with it aren't, either.
Running your hands through your hair, you try to calm down. The sleeping form beside you begins to stir, and you glance toward him.
"Princess?" Adam mumbles groggily, still half-asleep. "What-what are you doing?" He clears his throat and sits up before putting a hand on your back comfortingly. "You okay?"
"Nightmare," you sniff, turning so you're facing him. You open your arms and say, "Hold me." Even to you, your voice sounds fragile, like something as simple as a nightmare left you raw and vulnerable.
He wordlessly pulls you into his chest before lying down. You're enveloped in his warm arms, and he pulls the covers back over you both.
"It's okay. It wasn't real," he whispers, pressing his lips to your forehead. His facial hair tickles your skin, and despite your distressed state, you can't help but giggle a bit. Adam always makes you feel better. It doesn't matter what it is—he can make you smile and laugh. "There's that pretty laugh," he chuckles softly, and you bury your face in his chest, breathing in his scent.
Everything about him makes you feel safe, and within moments, you've fallen asleep again, your nightmare long forgotten.
