~ Chapter #37: All Control, Lost ~

A rather unsettling dream shook Aleks' body from its slumber, that was already plagued with self-consciousness in its shallow form, on the day he rued from the moment he found out what it had in store for him. It was an unpleasant mirage, this night terror had been, and it was one he hoped would never become a reality; it mirrored a negative and gruesome omen that was grisly and scarring. It'd portrayed Eddie being heartless and abandoning him for Seamus in its willow-wispy picture, and- it just utterly showed where his life would finally crumble and tumble down ahead of him; the debris in front of his path being too much for him in the fake reality.

It was when Eddie screamed at him to attempt to defend Seamus' well-being, that Aleks could no longer look at the petty nightmare his mind decided - for whatever reason - to reveal to him.

Suddenly his conscience had forcefully yanked him out of the horror he'd been witnessing, and caused his torso to jerk forward with a lurching motion; his eyes flashing open suddenly with a wideness that was tainted with disbelief. His mind raced with what he'd just been shown, his breaths were quick, and his vision was reeling in the darkness that his eyes were swallowed in; the pitch blackness in the room being all that he could gaze upon, until he remembered. Craning his neck in his brief mental panicked state, he shot a glance over at the clock next to the bed he slept in, at the red numbers, and groaned inwardly at the sight of the digits' appearance.

The clock merely read 2:34 AM in its rather rudely large font that decorated its exterior causing Aleks to hunch over slightly with defeat.

The Russian eventually moved a sluggish hand to run through his moppy case of bedhead and soon changed where his eyes were set on, to the other side of the bed he now sat up in. At first he discovered nothing but the same darkness shrouding him, but once he tried really hard to gather as much light as possible through means of dilated pupils, he could faintly make out the outline of another's bodily figure under the covers beside of him, and almost immediately Aleks' shoulders slouched with relief when he was able to make out tan flesh coating the person's muscles.

Eddie was still his, and he was still Eddie's...

Aleks sighed softly with even more solace entering his body, and bowed his head as his eyes fell closed for a short moment. The realization that the dream was only a dream made him feel much, much better, though he knew there was still a possibility that Seamus may just be that cunning and witty to manage to get Eddie on his side, and that made him experience the same sentiments that he had just been able to wash clear from his pallet; the opposing emotions - anxiety and consolation - just chasing after each other within his mind, as if they took on the attributes of a rival cat and dog.

Opening his eyes languidly whilst he exited his once pensive state, the brunette looked down at his hands and watched closely as they balled themselves up to bear fists; his facial expression being a rather blank one as he didn't know what to do with himself in that moment. He didn't want to rest anymore, for two primary reasons. One, he didn't wish to have any more terrifying nightmares, and two, he wasn't even extremely tired anymore- he wasn't even sleepy when he and Eddie had went to bed in the first place, so surely he wasn't sleepy now...

But alas, after a second of staring at his threatening hands, he unballed the fists and looked over at Eddie again; his soft breathing being all Aleks listened to for a long moment, before he moved to lay down again. The Russian hastily snuggled up to Eddie's sleeping form and wrapped an arm around his chest, that slowly inflated and deflated every other few seconds as the Latino continued sleeping. After he nuzzled himself securly next to his boyfriend, Aleks slowly let his eyes close with contentment, though that doesn't mean he went to sleep...
