Nightmares (Vkook/Taekook)

Jungkook had nightmars all the time, though he'd never admit it. He could usually get over them just fine on his own, but tonight was different.

Jungkook had gone to sleep early, claiming to not be feeling well. The others had still been eating dinner then. Tae had come in at some point, to check on his bunny and to say goodnight, though then he'd left to his own room, thinking Jungkook was deep in sleep. 

Jungkook had tossed and turned for hours, unable to get to sleep. He'd not slept well the previous night, and he'd been exhausted all day as a result. He had to get to sleep tonight, or he'd be miserable the next day. The seven of them had a very busy day tomorrow, and Namjoon had made it very clear they all needed to be well-rested. When he finally did fall asleep... it was much much worse than being awake.

Nightmares haunted his sleep, leaving him terrified and sleepless. He'd finally fallen asleep after the worst nightmare yet, only to slip into one sooo much worse.

"...Tae!" Jungkook whimpered, staring, from a small opening in the covers he'd pulled over himself for protection, at the closed bedroom door. He'd been calling for the older for what seemed like eternity, but of course, Tae couldn't possibly hear his whispered cries for help from the other room.

"Hyung!" Jungkook was starting to panic now, Tae wasn't showing up, and the darkness in the room only seemed to be growing closer and closer to him.

Waking up for absolutely no reason in the middle of the night was not something on Taehyung's list of things to do, yet here he was, sitting up in bed, trying to figure out what woke him up.

'I'll just get a cup of tea and go back to bed...'  Tae decided, getting up groggily and making his way into the dark hallway.

Apparently, trying to boil water for tea was much harder than Jin made it look, so Tae ended up drinking the tea cold. Though it didn't taste quite as good as he'd hoped it would.

Dumping out the rest of the cold tea, he started back down the hallway to his room. Not a sound coming from any of the other rooms.

Settling into bed, his heavy eyelids fell shut, sleep overtaking him within seconds.

Jungkook held himself completely frozen, his hand clamped tightly over his mouth, panicked sobs threatening to escape him, as the sound of footsteps came closer and closer toward his door. 'They're coming for me! Oh god, they're going to get me!'

Jungkook's panic was temporarily decreased as the footsteps passed his door and continued into the kitchen. He waited silently for a moment before daring to breath again.

After a few more minutes, the footsteps retreated the other way back down the hall. Jungkook began to claw desperately at his throat, curling into himself, trying to stop the sobs from escaping. He whined and whimpered, the sobs only getting louder. 

His head hurt. His everything hurt. And the sobs just wouldn't STOP. He kept clawing at his arms, legs, and neck... but nothing quieted the pitiful noises that were escaping him.

"T-Tae... p-please help m-me! Please!" No matter how much Jungkook called for him, he never came... "Hyung!" Jungkook called out louder this time. All his previous calls had been whimpers and strained whispers, and this one was not much more than a quiet talking. 

Jungkook recoiled at how loud he was, burying himself farther in the covers, curling himself into as small a ball as he could, terrified that his volume would attract the monsters from his dreams to him.
