Night Terror [Jeffmads]

Thomas woke with a start, chest heaving with each breath he tried to take.

Eventually, he called down and settled back to sleep.

But for the rest of the day, his night terror stayed in his mind.

"Thomas," James asked, stepping into his office. "What's wrong?"

Thomas raised his head from his desk and stared at his friend for a moment, before letting his head drop with a 'thunk'.

"Bad dream last night." He mumbled into his desk.

James frowned and walked over. Thomas flinched slightly when hands rested on his shoulders but quickly relaxed once James began massaging him.

"Maybe you should take a nap?" He said softly when Thomas sighed with contentment and seemingly sank further into the desk.

"Mmm...I can't." He slurred, letting his eyes drift shut. "I got a client coming on and- Ooo, that feels nice."

James chuckled and continued to massage Thomas' scalp. "Get some rest Thommy. I'll wake you before your client gets here."

"Mmm... Okay..."

Only minutes later, Thomas was fast asleep.
