-Karkats point of view-

I woke up screaming. Again. For the second damn time this week. I shuddered, grabbing my elbows as I heard a creak from the other bed. Dave got up and sat on my bed.

"Hey, bud. You alright?"

He wrapped his arms around me and I leaned into his chest, still crying my red tears and shivering.

"Remember what happened?" He asked.

I shook my head and rubbed my eyes. "I'm fine, Dave, get away. Just- I don't have my slime cocoon anymore."

He chuckled and went back to his bed, red eyes still shining through the darkness. "Get some sleep, ok?"

"Um Dave? It, uh, helps if someone is here with me, like sleeping." Goddamn, I'm so stupid. That was not slick, WTF am I thinking?

"I guess." Said Dave after a moments hesitation. He got up off his bed again and came over to me. I stiffened again, but he wrapped his arms around me like it was nothing. I smiled despite myself, closing my eyes.
