Sweet dreams: a Tavris fanfic

Nightmares

*knock knock* Tavros wakes up in his room he wonders who is knocking. Even though the concept of night and day is fake because your on an asteroid everyone usually passes out in their rooms at the same time. *knock knock* You get out of bed because they are obviously not going away *BANG BANG BANG!* "I AM COMING!" You say as you open the door. The person standing in front Tavros you is the last person he would expect. "Um . . . Hello Vriska ?" Tavros asked Vriska didn't answer but rather just pushed her way in to his room. She was wearing her normal shirt and some sleeping shorts. She doesn't speak until she is sitting on his bed and Tavros closes the door. "I can't sleep" she says "Without the soper slime whenever I close my eyes I get nightmares."

As she says this Tavros realized the bags under her eyes from her lack of sleep. "Yah . . ." Tavros said "Everyone has been having them, Even my self, but I seem to be the only one that still gets a good night sleep." Vriska stared at him in astonishment she wouldn't have imagined him to be the one unaffected by nightmares.

"really? Why don't they bother you?"

Tavros replied with" Well I really don't know. I guess I just don't care. Well I mean . . ." He looked at his mechanical legs, the mere replica of what his legs used to be but a improvement to the legs that couldn't work. "Well my whole life is a nightmare." He closed his eyes and a tear came out. He never told anyone of his pain not even Gamzee his best brother, but now here he was about to spill his guts to the girl who made him a cripple in the first place. "I am weak by all troll standards, I am a coward, I can't imagine killing another living being, I have always been called a wimp or useless or a disgrace, and that was before I lost my legs and that made me a burden to everyone, I killed tinker bull the only one who I could actually trust, my only friend is a clown who is high all the time and always tries to flirt with me even though I don't like him in that way, and the only girl I have ever loved constantly picks on me and makes me feel like shit and the only time she wants to actually talk to me it's because she is having nightmares." At this point Tavros's tears where sobs going down his face. He felt so weak and vulnerable he was scared to open his eyes scared that Vriska was either laughing at him or if she left disgusted with him. However what happened was completely different. She was starring at him in . . . In pity, she also looked sad like she had regretted all that she had done to him. "I am sorry" Tavros continued " I shouldn't have said all of that to you." Vriska grabbed a tissue and whipped brown the tears from his face.

"No you are right, I had no right complaining to you after the hell I have put you though." Vriska said "It is just that . . . You are the only one I can talk to. And the closest thing I have to a friend on this damn thing. Everyone else hates me here. And the funny thing is that they all hate me for what I had done to you. But you don't." Vriska walked to the door "But I can't do anything without hurting you can I?" She started to walk out the door

"No!" Tavros said as he grabbed her wrist. "Please don't go Vriska. I didn't mean it like that."

Vriska looked at Tavros "Why? All I do is hurt you."

"Um . . . Hey I think I might know something to help your nightmares!" Tavros exclaimed

"Tavros I really don't think you can . . ." Vriska started but Tavros was already guiding her to his bed.

"Lay down." Said Tavros

"Why?"

"Just do it. It will help with both of our nightmares."

"Fine"

Tavros lifted the blankets so Vriska could get in and after she got in he got in the bed after her.

"What the hell do you think your doing Tavros?"

"Well the Dave human once told me something about humans 'sleeping' together and I thought it was weird. But I realized that because humans don't have soper slime they probably do this instead to ward off nightmares."

Vriska smiled a bit "Well it better work Torreadork." She knew that Dave was probably referring to the human version of filling buckets but laying here beside Tavros made her feel safe and she actually believed it would work. "Hey Tavros can I tell you something?" She said crawling on top of him a bit to look him in the face.

"Um . . . Yah sure" Tavros said as he turned a bit to look at her better.

She bent closer to him and kissed him "Tell anyone about this and I will stab that lance of yours right in the center of your shirt.
