(Don'tcha just love it when some of your family tells you to starve yourself? It's fun.)

Brendon wakes up with a jolt, his heart beating rapidly in his chest and tears trailing down his cheeks. His breathing was uneven and he was completely shaken up.

He'd had a nightmare, and a rather vivid one too. It felt so real, and he could see the scenes replaying constantly in his mind.

He was shaking badly, his hands and body trembling way more than they should.

Brendon glances at the time on his clock, 1:20 am.

He was considering go over to his roommate Dallon's room, he knew he wasn't gonna be able to fall asleep again by himself so he could try.

He'd didn't want to bother Dallon though, the taller was very nice and caring, yet Brendon was still scared.

He decides to take the chance though, seeing as he could hardly think straight anymore.

Brendon slowly gets up off the bed and he quietly pads over to his bedroom door. Everything was almost pitch black but he could still see.

He steps out of his room and closes the door behind him before walking to Dallon's bedroom door.

It was right across the hall so it was pretty easy to get to even if it was pitch black.

Once he reaches the door he pauses for a moment, starting to rethink his decision. He quickly pushes those thoughts back though as he timidly knocks on the door, only loud enough to hardly be heard.

It's quiet for a few seconds before a quiet, "Come in," from Dallon encourages Brendon to walk through the door.

Whenever he does walk in, he sees Dallon up with his lamp on, a book in his lap.

When Dallon hears his footsteps he looks up at him, his expression immediately changing to a worried one.

"Hey babe, what's up? Why're you crying?" Dallon asks, his voice laced with worry.

Brendon shuffles over to the edge of the bed, still shaking badly.

"I h-had a nightmare.. a-and I couldn't go back to sleep.. so I t-thought I'd come to you, but it's okay if y-you-," He gets cut off whenever Dallon gently grabs his shaking hand.

"Bren, if you're worried about bothering me it's okay. I'd rather you be okay then being alone in your room shaking to death."

He lets go of Brendon's hand and he scoots over a little, making enough room for the shorter to sit down on the bed beside him.

Brendon shyly sits down and he doesn't dare look Dallon in the eyes, still scared of bothering him.

Dallon just lays down a bit and pulls Brendon to his chest, the shorter's whole body tensing up before Dallon starts running his hand through his hair.

"Babe you're alright, just relax it's okay. I'm here."

Dallon's voice is soothing as he speaks, and it immediately relaxes Brendon. He slowly melts into Dallon's arms, his shaking finally coming to a full stop.

Dallon continues running his hands through Brendon's fluffy hair, the raven haired man clearly enjoying it by the way he leans into the touch.

The taller smiles as he watches him, all he wanted to do was make sure the cute boy was alright.

"Do you wanna talk about your nightmare, Bee? It might help? You don't have to it's just an option."

Brendon shakes his head a little before speaking, his voice quiet and wavering.

"N-No I don't wanna talk about it. I don't w-wanna remember it right now. If t-that's okay.."

Dallon nods and smiles as he places a gentle kiss to Brendon's forehead.

"That's Okay bren, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. You're alright." 
"T-Thank you."

He just nods and looks down at the short boy, noticing how small he looks in Dallon's arms. Dallon keeps up his motions, trying to coax the boy back into a peaceful sleep.

"D-Dall, I'm scared to go back to sleep. W-What if I have another nightmare?" Brendon asks timidly, as he looks up at Dallon.

Dallon looks back down at him and he shakes his head, giving him a reassuring look.

"I can promise you you're not going to have anymore nightmares, Bren. I'm here now, you'll be okay alright?"

"You s-sure?" Brendon asks, as he still looks up at him.

"Yes I'm positive. As long as I'm here nothing will ever happen to you. I'll be here to protect you from anything, alright?"

Brendon nods and he snuggles into dallon finally, his breathing finally slowing down to a normal pace.

Dallon smiles and he pulls him closer, their legs tangling. His arms find place around Brendon's waist, while Brendon's hands were curled up against Dallon's chest.

One of Dallon's hands slowly moves to Brendon hair again and he cards his fingers through the thick locks. The raven haired lets out a content hum at this, and he smiles.

Dallon trails his hand down to Brendon's back, and he lets his nails slowly glide over it, gently and soothing rubbing and scratching it.

He pulls his blanket up over them, and Brendon cuddles into it and Dallon. He was curled up in a ball against Dallon's chest, and tiredness was written all over his features.

Dallon starts placing gentle kisses to the boys face, smiling at the way he blushes and hides his face in Dallon's chest. "Thank you for giving me cuddles at 1:30 am," Brendon says softly, and he giggles quietly after.

"You're welcome, sweetheart. I would gladly do this any day of the week."

"I love you, Dally."  "I love you too, Bee."

Brendon slowly lets himself fall asleep as he listens to Dallon's heartbeat and gentle breathing. The two sounds and the way that Dallon's got such a protective hold on him finally coax him into a peaceful sleep.

Dallon smiles as he sees that Brendon's peacefully fallen asleep. He places one last gentle kiss to his head before he lets himself fall asleep, his tight hold on Brendon never leaving.
