Well, I was hit with some inspiration after being in all day cos it's a SNOW DAY! Apparently where I live in England has been the worst hit with snow and school is also cacelled tomorrow :). I suppose you can think of this with whichever characters you like, but I thought of it as Malcolm getting nightmares and Trip helping him. I suppose you can see it as a slash if you want, but personally I don't. This is my first drabble, hope you enjoy it :).

Sometimes he gets nightmares. Sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he can't get to sleep because of them. Sometimes he can. Sometimes they appear three times in one night. Sometimes they don't appear at all. Sometimes he forgets they're nightmares and wakes to think everything is lost, before he realizes his mistake a few blurry seconds later. Only sometimes.
But sometimes there'd be somebody with him to fight away those nightmares if they got out of hand. Sometimes there'd be somebody to turn to if he was feeling afraid. Sometimes he could make it all feel better.
Sometimes was better than never.
