His world was full of darkness. He had no eyes, and yet he could see the pair in front of him flashing a permanent scarlet in the dim of the room. The man who had taken them stepped up behind him, a hand on his throat to restrict his breathing. Kurapika's chest felt heavy, like a weight was pushing his ribs inwards and constricting his lungs. He felt the blade, as if he were having his eyes removed yet again.

Almost a year had passed since the incident, and yet more often than not the Kurta awoke in a cold sweat, his heart racing and the blood rushing through his ears. His eyes would illuminate the room around him, they shone with such intensity. His stomach would churn at the sight of Chrollo sleeping next to him.
He still had his eyes. Chrollo's uncle had not taken them from him. Still, what he HAD managed to take was far worse.

Quiet nights were the worst.

In Shadows of Night by dstry0515

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

[AU: omegaverse] [fluff] [angst] [comedy] [9291 words] ~ My AU❗️ none of the art is mine❗️ read the tags❗️ {𝒰𝓃ℯ𝒹𝒾𝓉ℯ𝒹!} *** That night was hot, and meant sweating, because it was exactly the same thing again: his Alpha curled by his side, his head no longer on the pillow, but nose buried in his belly, hugging his waist. It was new for Satori, and it was bit strange - usually it was the other way round, the massive Alpha sprawling on the bed, and the Omega snuggled into his side, head on his chest. But Wakatoshi looked peaceful, and he was smiling in his sleep, and it was the best Tendō had ever felt in his life. Now he was lying, hot and sleepless, wondering. He wasn't feeling any different at all. All the myths and legends about an Omega's pregnancy had always sounded like fairy-tales to him, and he had mocked them, when other people were complaining (both Alphas and Omegas were complaining!!!). But then... why would his mate act this way, unless... He bit his lips. He suddenly realized that if it was a false alarm - he would be bitterly disappointed. He now dreaded going to the doctor's. But he was glad that he hadn't shared his suspicions with his lover. He somehow sensed that Wakatoshi would be even more upset than himself, if he wasn't pregnant.
