Dream a Little Dream

Rolling over in bed, Troye heard a muffled sniff behind him followed by heavy breathing and whispered, panicked words.

Fuck. He bolted up in bed and turned to see Tyler's face glistening with tears, his eyes squeezed shut. "Ty?" He whispered, squeezing the American's shoulder, "Tilly, are you awake?" Tyler turned his face towards the familiar sound of Troye's soft voice and tears once again began to stream down his face.

"Don't leave me Troye. P-please don't go. Don't let anyone take you away from me." His breathing faltered and he gasped to take in as much oxygen as he could, "I-I just saw you getting hurt. A-and Aidan and M-mom too..." Tyler trailed off as another round of sobs wracked his body, suffocating him and leaving him light headed due to the lack of oxygen.

A light sheen of sweat plastered Tyler's forehead from the sheer exhaustion of the nightmare that had just occurred, so Troye flipped back the covers of the bed slightly to let him breathe a little. He threaded his hand into the pastel green quiff below him, whispering sweet nothings into the quiet room.

Heat radiated from the trembling body next to Troye and despite not wanting to even let go of Tyler, he swung his legs out of the bed and ran to get a glass of water from their bathroom.

He arrived back to find Tyler curled up in a ball, tears streaming down his face and dampening the sheets below him. "Ty, shh I'm back, it's going to be okay," Troye murmured gently, wrapping his arm around Tyler to sit him up carefully and offer him the glass of water. Tyler delicately brought the glass to his lips, although Troye still kept hold of it due to Tyler's shaken state.

Once Tyler had drunk enough, he pushed the glass away, letting Troye put it on the bedside table. The pair snuggled closer together, Troye carefully wrapping his arm around Tyler's back, who had turned so he was sat over Troye's lap with his head nestled in the crook of his neck. Tyler was still sniffling as they sat together, but soon the sobs died down as Troye started to hum the lullaby he had written for his baby brother so long ago. There were no words, just a tune and it appeared to soothe the visibly disturbed man who was currently clinging to him as though Troye was his only lifeline.

"Everything's going to be okay Tilly. Everyone's perfectly safe. Nothing will ever come between us. You're my best friend and I don't think I could manage my life without you in it." He glanced down to see a small smile appear on Tyler's lips, his eyes red from crying and his hair sticking up at odd angles. Troye attempted to tame the mess by running his hand through it but knew that in reality it was a pointless task.

Soon, Tyler shifted underneath him and Troye took the opportunity to lie them down, only to find Tyler hadn't fallen asleep. "I don't think I want to go back to sleep if those nightmares are waiting there for me Troye," He whispered, glancing at where his hands were lying in the covers, "I don't think I can. I can't go back to a place where you're being taken away from me."

Troye reached up to cup the American's cheek, sweetly pressing a calming kiss to his forehead, before taking Tyler's hand in his own and entwining their fingers. He shuffled their bodies together more so he could feel the heat radiating through Tyler's skin and ran gentle patterns under his shirt as he began to sing softly:
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Tyler's breathing had evened out by the time Troye had finished those few verses, but he could tell Tyler hadn't fully fallen asleep yet. "I love you so much Ty, never forget that." His whispers appeared to go unheard in the now quiet room, but after a few moments Tyler's voice started where Troye had left off, "I could never forget that Troye Sivan. I need you."

Troye smiled to himself, pulling Tyler closer into his arms and comforting him through to sleep. He didn't fall asleep until he heard his name being murmured gently in his man's sleep. He didn't fall asleep until he knew Tyler's nightmares had disappeared for the night. He only fell asleep when he felt safe in the knowledge that the monsters in his man's dreams weren't going to come back.
