Chapter 21: Coping

Vance's POV:
"Something's wrong!", I bolted up from the bed and Viktor did the same.

It was 2 am in the morning and we woke up, sensing Cyan's pain and hearing his cries and whimpers.

We barged into his room and looked over to his bed.

He was on his side, whimpering and trembling. Tears ran down his face and small sobs escaped his mouth and tore at my heart.

Viktor and I both sat on the bed and checked him.

"He's asleep".

Viktor wiped his tears away with his thumb and I ran my fingers through his hair and wiped away his sweat.

"He's probably having a nightmare", he said and I nodded.

"Cyan", we call out to him and tried to wake him up.

It took a few minutes, but he started awake and a terrified mewl escaped him lips.

He grasped onto the blankets and looked up at us with sad eyes.

"What's wrong? What happened?", I asked stroking his head and he frowned tearfully at us before jumping up and wrapping his arms around us as he dug his head into our chests.

His body trembled intensely and he sobbed loudly into our skin.

Viktor and I comforted him and strokes his head and back gently.

What made him so scared? What happened?

I couldn't stand seeing him so upset. My heart wanted to explode.

We sat there with him as he cried until he couldn't anymore and all that he managed was sniffles and sad hiccups.

"It's ok. You're ok, Cyan. We're right here", Viktor tried his best to relax him and I did too.

He laid on my chest, tired from crying and snuggled onto my lap.

"Would you like some tea to calm you down, Cyan? Your brother told me you like chrysanthemum tea with honey", Viktor asked and Cyan nodded.

Viktor smiled than went to the small kitchen we had in the space that connected our rooms.

"Are you ok?...", I asked again looking down at his still shaking self.

He nods slowly and clings tighter to me, when I move a bit and try to move to lay him back on the bed.

He wanted to stay in my lap and arms?

I smiled and snuggled him closer.

Viktor returns with some warm tea, and I place him between us, which he is willing to do.

Cyan sips the tea carefully and looks much better as he does so.

"Do you feel better now?", Vik asks and Cyan nods.

"Can you tell us what happened?", I ask cautiously and Cyan freezes.

Viktor shoots a glance at me then turns to stroke Cyan's back soothingly.

"I..", Cyan starts.

I take his mug and place it on the bedside table.

"I saw...my mom and dad...".

His parents? I looked over at Viktor and he was also confused.

"You saw them? In a dream?", Vik asked.

Cyan balled his fists and nodded, his body trembled slightly as he recalled something.

"I...", he started to sniffle, "saw them...die...". His hands moved to his face to wipe away his tears and Vik and I immediately wrapped our arms around him and he sobbed into them again.
