A scream, not mine. Deep, throaty.
Bliss, relief.
Release.
Hate. Shame. Fear
I woke up screaming, body spasming and thrashing, hands scrabbling for a hold on something, anything, tears clogging up my throat, sobbing. I was coughing.
I couldn't think, couldn't focus. It hurt. Oh god, it hurt so much.
I forced myself to calm down, but it took work. When I did, I realized Aya was banging on my door, shouting.
I sat up, and the sheets clung to me, squelching.
I looked down in surprise. The entire bed was absolutely soaked in sweat.
I climbed out, peeling the sheets off of my skin, and put on a robe. I opened my door to an extremely concerned Ayame.
"Nightmare?" He asked softly, tucking the wet locks that clung to my face behind my ears.
I nodded, fighting not to break down crying. I was still emotionally raw from the nightmare. "They're getting worse, Aya," I mumbled, looking down at my feet.
He embraced me, and I breathed in the vannilla aroma that was all Ayame, clinging to him for sanity, for comfort. He made me feel safe, and I loved him for it. "They aren't real, Miku," he whispered soothingly.
"I know, I know. But still they somehow manage to scare the shit out of me," I mumbled, upset at myself for being so vulnerable. For being so weak.
"It'll be okay," he assured me, hugging me closer.
"It was him again, Aya."
"Who?"
"Akito. His voice." I whispered, staring at the fabric of his pajamas.
"It doesn't mean anything. They're just dreams."
"Than why do they feel so real?" I sobbed, finally breaking, not able to hold them in anymore.
Ayame held me tighter, and whispered, "I'm sorry." What else could he say?
