Disclaimer: I don't own Adrian or Trudy but I do own the plot. This was in the collage years
Trudy tossed and turned in her sleep evidentially having a terrible dream. Adrian was no detective, not yet but he was astute enough to figure out that something was disturbing Trudy's sleep. He came into his bedroom where she was sleeping
"Wait," she mumbled in her dream, "I didnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndowit"
"Trudy? Honey it's okay. It was just a bad dream," he told her waking her up. She was startled and accidentally kicked him
"OH GOD," she cried, "I'm so sorry"
He helped her to sit up and held her supportively to him.
"Trudy it's okay," he consoled her. Her kick didn't even hurt. It had just stunned him.
"I just had such a bad dream," she said
"I know. I could hear you from the other room. What was the dream about"
"I was in a dark place and everyone was laughing but I wasn't finding it funny. I could hear everyone but I couldn't see anyone. I remember being bound and I started throwing up. They said I would never see you again. They said I would be in this place forever"
He rubbed her back while she sobbed.
"Trudy," he told her, "that will never and can never happen. It was just a bad dream"
After awhile she started to feel better.
"Do you want to get back to sleep," he asked her.
"W-would you stay with me," she asked.
Adrian hesitated to himself. He had never been in the same bed with a woman before and especially not someone as incredible as Trudy. Also he had set the rules that said he wouldn't sleep in the same bed as a woman, not until he was married.
"Please," she asked, "I would really feel so much better"
That sealed it. Adrian was like putty in Trudy's hands. He could never say no to her… well there would be times where he would but the longest he ever held onto it was like 30 seconds.
"Sure," he said and climbed in beside her. He fell asleep holding her and she had no more nightmares for the rest of the night. She had no more nightmares any time he was holding her.
