I'm not sure if I like this story just yet. But, I am excited this will be my first fan fiction with chapters and not a oneshot. Character pairing is Elliot x Leo and possibly a little Gil x Oz, there may be more to come. Also I apologize for how short this is, and for not having a summary ^^; Please read and review! No flames please.
Recommended listen: Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift

I do not own Pandora Hearts, this is strictly a fan fiction.
Leo sat on his bed under the window, his back comfortably pressed against the wall and his head back on the glass pane. The light of twilight seeped through the windows from above Elliot's bed and his own. Twilight was Leo's favorite time of early morning, when the moon and sun collided to turn the sky an inky purple before the moon surrendered and morning came.
With a tired sigh Leo turned the page of his book that sat in his lap. A shuffle came from the other side of the room, from Elliot's bed. A shocked and frightened whimper came from the (possibly) sleeping blonde. The Elliot curled into a ball in the middle of the mattress, pulling the blankets to form a mess of sheets all around him. Leo could almost hear Elliot shaking.
The dark eyed boy marked his page before sending the book to the floor where it landed with a soft thud. He raised his eyes to his master's bed. Leo's glasses slipped down his nose and he numbly remembered their presence before taking them off and flicking his bangs out of one dark eye.
All was silent for about a minute. The time record was broken when the sandy blonde suddenly bolted into a sitting position. The raven would've jumped, but he was all too use to Elliot's night terrors. Elliot was panting with fear by the time Leo reached his bed and crawled under the covers next to him.
The slate blue eyes Elliot owned were glazed with sleep, yet still set wide. They studied Leo almost as if they were trying to remember him, or if he was merely part of the dream. The servant stared back into those eyes.
"Elliot," Leo placed his hand on said person's. "You're okay." Seeming to have woken up a bit, though not completely, because the noble swallowed to calm his panting and nodded once.
"Everything's on fire," Elliot sung his head to look out the window, his voice a bit frantic and confused.
Leo looked, too, but he knew the sparks he saw were different of those Elliot spoke of. The orchard, stories below their windows, was perfectly fine. "Then don't look. Close your eyes."
Elliot pulled his head back to rest on Leo's shoulder as he scooted closer into his servants open embrace. He lifted a fist to his eyes and attempted to wipe the sleep away. He pulled his hand back to see tears glistening against his pale skin. He was surprised he hadn't noticed them. Hurriedly, Elliot wiped them away, but they didn't go unnoticed by his servant.
Leo hugged Elliot closer and buried his face in Elliot's messy but soft blonde hair. "You'll be alright." Leo mumbled, mainly to reassure himself.
Elliot merely nodded and rose his lips to the brunettes in a chaste kiss. The kiss ended and the noble slid down to a laying position, pulling Leo down next to him. Elliot nuzzled into Leo's chest and felt the servant's arms curl around him. The blonde breathed deeply, inhaling Leo's scent. The heir closed his eyes in contentment.
Not quite tired, Leo played with a stray blonde lock of hair. "Leo?" Elliot breathed.
"Hm?"
Blue eyes met black and gold. "I love you." Elliot stated simply and matter-of-factly.
Leo smiled and brushed Elliot's check before cupping his face. His master nuzzled into his palm as he spoke, "I love you, too, Elliot." His lips were briefly captured Elliot's before they once again laid against the pillows.
Elliot fell asleep quickly, Leo following shortly after. They always slept better together.
