Nico's breath evened out, as he fell into sleep. Will, on the other hand, tossed and turned. His thoughts were a jumble because he had an important exam tomorrow. He looked at Nico with envy when he heard a sniffle escape from Nico's nose. The sniffle turned into sobbing, and Will sat up and reached for Nico.
"W-Will! No! I can't lose you!" The sound of Nico's heartbroken voice brought Will to a stop. Nico's tears streamed down his pale face, staining his pillow as Will snapped out of his trance and shook him. Once. Twice. Three times. Nico didn't even stir. "Nico!" He hissed, grabbing his shoulders and pulling him upright. Nico's eyelids fluttered open as Will wrapped his arms around him, whispering in his ears. "Shh, Nico, babe, it's alright. That was only a nightmare. I'm here." He kept repeating, as the last of Nico's sobs were muffled by Will's shirt.
They sat on the bed, Will rubbing Nico's back, tracing invisible circles as Will asked, "So, are you gonna tell me about the dream?" Nico shook his head as one more sob escaped from his mouth. He tightened his grip on Will as he said, "Shh, ok. It's fine. Come on, let's go back to sleep." Will laid them both down on the bed, with Nico's face still buried in his shirt. "I love you, Nico," I murmured softly, and he looked up with a smile, his red, puffy eyes looking to mine, and said, "I love you too, Will."
I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair as he snuggled into the covers, inching closer to me with a contented sigh, his dream forgotten. His even breaths and matching heartbeats lulled me into a dreamless sleep.
