Once Garroth arrives to Laurence's apartment he sighs deeply and enters without knocking which startles Laurence. Garroth and Laurence share eye contact and its silent for a while.

"Where are they?" was the first thing Garroth had said after the long silence. Laurence furrows his eyebrows, pure confusion consuming his brain.

Garroth's face was blank and his eyes darted around the apartment, looking around suspiciously. "W-What do you mean?"

Garroth's eyes stop searching and just stare ahead of him, his expression unreadable. Then he turns to Laurence with an angered look. "'What do you mean' seriously Laurence?!" he snaps and Laurence flinches.

"The pills! Where are the pills, Laurence!" Garroth yells and Laurence looks down at his feet silently. Garroth knew he was being too rude and mean to his boyfriend, but needed to get those pills out of Laurence's reach.

"I threw them out."

"No you didn't." Garroth says not three seconds after Laurence's statement, which kind of shocked Laurence. "Where are they Laurence?"

"I told you t-that I threw them—"

"NO YOU DIDN'T!" Garroth screams which makes Laurence shriek.

"Holy shit! Baby calm down! Whats up with you?!" He yells and Garroth shakily sighs, covering his face with his hands and walking closer to Laurence.

Laurence engulfs Garroth into an embrace, a sympathetic smile spreading across his face. He had never seen his boyfriend so distraught and scared. Garroth was practically shaking. Then he suddenly frowned.

And he was so distraught because of him.

Thats when Garroth moved his chin up to rest on Laurence's right shoulder, his eyes opening slowly and then finally snapping open after seeing the orange bottle of pills laying on the counter.

He pushed out of the hug and ran towards the pills, stuffing them in his hoodie pocket and then slamming open he rest of Laurence's cabinets to see if he had anymore.

Laurence wasn't addicted, to him he hated it and knew what he was doing was wrong. He had complete control over the pills and knew when to not take them even if it felt like he wanted to. But it angered Laurence that Garroth had come all this way to take the pills away.

For Laurence those pills meant everything. They saved him from his nightmares and hallucinations. They saved him from the constant crying to the point where it hurt for him to blink after waking up. They saved him from all those dangerous thoughts thrown at the back off his mind.

And now it was being taken away.

To Laurence, those pills are good but he really cannot see how dangerous they were.

It also angered Laurence by the fact that a man he was in love with was taking them away, allowing all of those nightmares and crying to come floating back.

But unfortunately for Laurence, that little bottle of pills Garroth had taken were the only pills he had. Laurence grabbed Garroth and pushed him against the wall, tears flying down his face as they wrestled for the orange bottle.

"Give them back, Garroth! They're so important to me! You DON'T understand! I knew I should've never told you! Give them back now, please!" Laurence was practically begging now and his eyes were turning red from all the tears.

"Laurence stop!" Garroth cries out, still trying to get Laurence to stop trying to take the pills.

"Give them back now!" Laurence yells out, dragging out the word now before falling to his knees and covering his face and sobbing.

Garroth quickly ran out of the apartment and to Cadenza's apartment, slamming onto the door with his fist. The door swings open to reveal a confused Cadenza.

"Cadenza hide these from Laurence, DO NOT LET HIM SEE THEM! He has been taking them and he's not supposed to! Throw them out please." Garroth quickly says before pacing back to Laurence's apartment.

He runs back in to find a sobbing Laurence laying on the ground, his tears leaving an actual puddle on the floor. Garroth frowns and crouches down next to him, only to get shoved off and onto the ground by Laurence.

"Don't get near me! I hate you!"

Garroth could feel his heart shatter. Tears formed at his eyes once again, his arms forcefully wrapping around Laurence's neck and his hands grabbing Laurence's tanned head to keep him in place.

Garroth straddles Laurence and the older make struggles to get the blonde off of him. "Get off now! I hate you!" Laurence screams and Garroth leans down next to Laurence's ear.

"You don't mean that, Laurence. Shh, calm down. Im here.." he whispers in the brown haired guys ear. Laurence's sobs softened but he was still crying a lot.

"N-No! S-Stop! Leave! I h-hate you!"

Laurence just kept on repeating those three words again and again and it left a crack in Garroth's heart every time he said it. He probably would have ran out of Laurence's apartment crying by now, but he knew that Laurence didn't mean it, for the guy was going through very scary things and wasn't thinking right at the moment.

There was a very long silence after that and no one spoke. They just laid there in each others arms. "I'll stay with you the rest of the night, how about that?" Garroth whispers, breaking the silence.

Laurence just nods, kissing Garroth's collarbone gently before looking up at Garroth and smiling softly. As you can tell, Laurence was much calmer now.

For the rest of the night, Garroth and Laurence barely spoke and Laurence apologized for telling Garroth he hated him. In which he stated that he didn't and that he loved him a lot. But after that there wasn't much speaking. There was mostly cuddling and kissing.

Laurence ended up falling asleep at 8:30 PM, and did not wake up until 1 in the afternoon the next day. Simply because Garroth stayed with him in bed all night, cuddling and kissing him.

Laurence loved the fact that Garroth was truly loyal to him and loves that fact that he cared.

Because Garroth did not leave the bed until Laurence said he could. Even if he wanted to, he didn't and just slept there with Laurence, letting him sleep for a long time for the first time in forever.

That night Laurence had a good dream and didn't have a nightmare. He didn't wake up in the middle of the night and didn't wake up the next day to scary thoughts or hallucinations. And that gave Laurence hope and he smiled, knowing that it was because Garroth was there for him.

"Baby?" Laurence whispers, still cuddling up in bed with Garroth.

"Hmm?" Garroth hums. Laurence smiles and leaves a few soft kisses on Garroth's head, smelling his nice vanilla scented hair.

"I have a new nickname for you."

"Yeah? And whats that baby?" Garroth responds with a soft smile, being extremely gently and he caresses Laurence's cheek.

"Dreamcatcher."
