Despite the title this is an angst chapter. Okay it's angst and fluff but still.

Jeremy'd woke to the noise of the coffee machine starting up downstairs and knew it had to be Michael.

He got out of bed and put his slippers on, walking down the stairs to see his husband pouring himself coffee.

"Trouble sleeping?" Jeremy asked and Michael nodded. "Well this isn't going to help you know." Jeremy walked over and kissed Michael's cheek, grabbing the coffee and pouring it into the sink.

"H-Hey I was gonna drink that." Michael whined and Jeremy's eyes narrowed.

"You need sleep Micha, you haven't slept in three days."

"I'm fine Jere, I don't need sleep."

"You promised you'd start getting sleep. I even prepare your medication every night. Why don't you use it? You're always complaining about how you never get sleep, but you refuse to sleep...Why?" Jeremy's voice had lost its irritation and gained a very high amount of concern.

"I just don't want you to wake up and me not notice."

"That never happens anymore. Now why are you avoiding sleep? Quit avoiding the question." Jeremy put his hands on Michael's shoulder after sitting the mug down.

He hadn't even noticed Michael shaking until he felt his shoulders shake.

"Michael?" Jeremy asked before realizing there were tears falling from his husband's brown eyes. "Michael please tell me why you won't sleep. If it's making you cry I want to know." Jeremy whispered gently and Michael looked down.

"I.. I keep h-having nightmares about junior y-year...and they get w-worse each time..." He mumbled and Jeremy quickly brought him in for a hug.

"It's okay, I'm not gonna leave you again, never going to call you a loser again, none of that. I'm right here and I'm not leaving no matter what happens. Because I love you." Jeremy whispered, and Michael nodded as he slowly sank into the hug, eyelids starting to droop. "Now let's get to bed, I'll be right there so if you wake up I'll tell you I'm not leaving."

"O-Okay Jere..." Michael gently smiled and Jeremy gave him a kiss before grabbing his hand and walking upstairs to their room.

They got in the bed and within a minute Michael was asleep.

"G'night Micha... I'll be right here if you need me." Jeremy was gentle as he wrapped his arms around Michael and brought him in for a hug, kissing his forehead softly to let him know he was there.

It seemed to put a smile on Michael's face, and both boys(boyfs) slept peacefully the entire night.

Just a short chapter.
