Feel free to point out any errors or mistakes I've made, I honestly appreciate it.
Thomas's P.O.V.
I was walking down the street, late at night, coming home from a party. Virgil was worried(obviously) but I thought I would be fine.
That is, until someone jumped out from an alley with a gun.
"Give me all your money!" They shouted. I panicked. I hadn't brought my wallet to the party. I tried to explain but they cut me off.
"Fine. You gave me no choice." They cocked the gun.
"Thomas look out!"
Bang
Bang
Bang
Bang
The guy was out of ammo, and Virgil was bleeding out in front of me. I called 911, but there was no way they were coming in time. I just cradled Virgil with the police on their way.
"Guess being fight or flight helped in this situation. Next time, get a taxi." He says, somehow finding humor in the situation.
"Its gonna be okay" I say, but even as I say it I find myself slowly blacking out.

I woke with a start. It was just a dream. Wait,... But I did black out at the end, so I could still be waking up from that. I start to panic. I try summoning him, but nothing happens. Suddenly there's a weight in my bed and I jump and whip around. It's Virgil, still asleep. Though I think my outcry of surprise woke him.
"Huh?! What happened?! Thomas, are you okay?!" He says, now looking as scared as I felt.
"Oh, thank goodness you're alive." I exclaim, he just looks at me confused.
"Why wouldn't I be?" He asks.
"Well, I kinda sorta had a dream where you jumped in front of me when someone had a gun pointed at me." I rush out.
"Oh. So we had the same dream?" He asked, now sounding amused.
"I guess." I say, unsure.
"So, you were panicking, about not being able to panic anymore, which should've shown you that you could still panic, and therefore proving that I was okay?" Alright, now I see why he was amused.
"Yeah..." I said sheepishly.
He just shook his head with a smirk. "Get some sleep Thomas." He said as he sunk out through my bed. Cause why not apparently. I did as told.
