Shota sighs softly and shifts a bit on the couch, sleeping soundly.

Toshinori looked over at Shota then back at the satchel, he knew he shouldn't be doing this. It's Shota's privacy, he knew it was wrong but he just has to know what's in there. He hesitated for a long time, it felt like hours before he finally reached over and grabbed the satchel. Toshinori silently opened it, inside was a bunch of paperwork, pens, bandages, and what seemed to be a photo. That caught Toshi's eye as he slowly and carefully grabbed the photo and brought it out the bag. The photo was of a thin woman who seemed to have bandana wrapped around her head, the woman was clutching a laughing seven year old in her arms.

The child's hair was past his ears as it was black, thick and wavy. The boy, who seemed to be Shota, seemed to be having a happy moment of his life. There was a man in the background, the man had a long black hair tied back in a pony tail that went down to the small of his back. A grungy once wife beater on over hundreds of tattoos. His grey eyes where staring down the boy who was laughing with a cruel look on his face as one hand seemed to be hovering over a tattoo on his forearm.
Toshinori stared at the photo, his brows furrowed. (as of he has any eyebrows) He grabs his phone out from his pocket and quickly took a photo. He forgot that his sound was on apparently had his ringer on so it made the photo noise. It startled him, he jumped and almost dropped the photo and his phone. He quickly puts the photo back into the satchel.

Shota's eyes flutter slightly and he mumbles something that sounded like "no I don't wanna do the test." But it could have been anything.

Toshinori looks over at Shota with a confused face while putting his phone back into his pocket. He didn't quite hear what he had said.

Shota then started tossing and turning. The odd dream rapidly becoming a violent night terror. His own nails scratching at his arms. Leaving wounds behind that seemed like a wild animal did it. Not a sleeping human.

Toshi saw as he tossed and turned, he then noticed he started scratching his arms. Toshi rushed over to Shota and nudged his shoulder trying to wake him up "Shota?.."

Shota flinches and starts to thrash more. His hands then going to claw at his bandaged neck. A strangled cry coming from him as if he was being choked out. He didn't seem to be able to hear the other man.

Toshinori quickly grabbed Shota's wrists and pulls his hands away from his neck. "Shota! Wake up!"

Shota's eyes suddenly snap open with a cry of terror. The pulse in his wrists where going absolutely insane. His face was coated in a cold sweat as he thrashed in the others hands. Not fully aware of where he was "NO! NO IM SORRY PLEA-...." he stops himself once he realizes who it was.

"Shota, Calm down...it was just a nightmare..." Toshi felt Shota's pulse on one of his wrists which got him even more worried.

Shota nodded. Though his chest kept jerking in great shuddering breaths of air. He was struggling not to hyperventilate.

Toshi pulled Shota up so he was sitting upward. "Just breath slowly..."

Shota's hands where shaking badly as he tried to calm his breathing. His eyes shutting.

"Do you need water?.." he asked still very worried about him.

Shota swallowed hard and slowly nods. God his whole body was trembling like a leaf. This had been a really bad one.[He always had nightmares]

Toshi let's go of Shota's wrists. He grabs a water bottle that was next to the coffee machine, he then opens it and hands it to Shota.

Shota takes it with one badly shaking hand "t-thanks."

"Do you need anything else? Are you cold?"Toshi asked.

He shakes his head softly "I-I'm Fine."

Sorry this was short...but I hope you liked it...
