025: SOMETIMES
Usually when Yoite falls asleep he is too exhausted to dream. He just lies down and fades out until something wakes him again. But sometimes when he closes his eyes, terrors find him. Screams as his body is torn in two. The cutting chill of a blade kissing his throat. Buildings falling past him, too fast too fast, too fast. The leader with his stiff handsome face and his cruel fingers pressing into him, into places that Yoite hates but are still his—
Yoite wakes up alone. His eyes and breath are wild and he looks around to assure himself of this. Alone. His harsh breath turns into a gasp and then a sob and Yoite curls up tight, bony knees tucked against his chest.
He doesn't sleep the rest of the night. He just listens to Yukimi's soft snores coming from inside his bedroom, eyes wide open and refusing to cry.
