Aarmau
Aaron has a lot for obvious reasons, and so when he wakes up he tries to just go back to sleep if Aphmau isn't awake. If she is awake, she'll take him in his arms and tell him it's okay, let him know that she's fine— "See? That scar's still healed. I'm still here." — and eventually lull him back to sleep by rubbing his ears or massaging his shoulders.

Garrence
Garroth has a lot regarding stabbing Kawaii-Chan and Zane, and although Laurence doesn't necessarily grasp it he always drags Garroth downstairs and they watch a movie with popcorn together. A comedy if available. Neither are able to go back asleep when one of them wakes up in the middle of the night, so they just stay up.

Melinda
It's safe to say they both have a fair share of nightmares. And both know that the other has been through a lot. It's been decided between the both of them that if they're both aware and one of them has had a nightmare they have to talk about it. They've agreed on no secrets.

Travlyn
Katelyn has way more than Travis does. Travis isn't often scared by Michael anymore, he'd been dealing with him for years and consciously wasn't as afraid of him. He knew he was gone.

Katelyn however had a lot. She was always scared of losing the people she cared about. She was scared to death of losing Travis and often woke up in tears. She couldn't forget that she had almost lost him before.

Travis always smiles, not necessarily in pity, and kisses her forehead and tears away. Katelyn takes it, letting herself relax for once instead of always being tense. This almost always makes her fall back asleep.

Vylante
While they hadn't lived through the horrors of Starlight, everyone has things they are scared of, and everyone has nightmares. Dante has more than Vylad, and Vylad has to always shake him awake to snap him out of it. Vylad knows he probably doesn't want to talk about it, but always presses just in case. It takes only a few seconds of cuddling to make him go back to sleep, though.

ZaneChan
Zane had a lot right after they had gotten home from Starlight. He's getting better now, but it's at least once every two weeks.

The last thing Nana wants is for him to feel like he's vulnerable or in danger. She tells him that she loves him and he can cry all he wants, he doesn't need to try and be strong all the time. Zane almost never replies verbally, but nods and always hugs her, often pressing a kiss to her cheek before burrowing into her hair at her neck. It takes a few seconds, but he always says thank you for being here for me, and that he loves her so, so much.
