Iris is a young barista who works in a music coffee shop with her friend.
At the same time, she is trying to overcome the nightmares she has been having for the last few months that are not letting her sleep.
Is there anyone able to help her?
please bear with the story as I write it and I'm sorry for any mistakes whether in terms of vocabulary or grammar since I'm not a native English speaker :)
Also, disclaimer, I don't know the real people behind the masks of Sleep Token so any description or name used to describe them without the mask and paint are not real. (With the exception of certain obvious characteristics like height)

The Summoning (Sleep Token FanFiction)

The four men in masks saved me only to bring me to their own church of worship, telling me I can't go home because of the debt I owe. But a pact made long ago with the God and the one they call Vessel has me questioning my trust in them, especially when the standoff-ish Vessel of Sleep, the leader of the group, seems to know something I don't. The only way to learn the truth is to delve deeper into their lives, digging up my own buried past along with it... This is a slow burn romance mystery. Warning ⚠️: talk of suicide, murder, self harm and abuse along with sexual content. I also use swear words occasionally Word count: 85,661 Sequel: TelomeresComplete

Sleeping With Sleep
I shakily reached for his hand and he stood, gently pulling me up with him. My gaze bounced between each of the six eyes on the mask and I got frustrated, wanting to make real eye contact with him. Vessel noticed my slight scowl and paused for a second before wearily pushing his hood back and unbuckling his mask, letting it fall to rest in his other palm. His long, shaggy black hair fell immediately into his eyes, blocking my line of sight to a majority of his face. I lean slightly away from him. "Are... Are you sure?..." I didn't want him to feel pressured to show me who he was, but I was dying to see the real him. "Promise you won't panic...?" That took me aback. Panic? Why? I furrowed my brows, confused. I nodded. "Yeah, why would I pa-" He tilted his head up and brushed his hair from his face. Six. There were still six. I panicked.
