He was screaming and struggling – falling, falling, and any moment now he would hit the concrete, leaving him battered, bones broken in at least six different places.
James was now nothing but a fading speck, but strangely, it seemed like he could still hear his voice calling him through the rushing of his ears.
"Alec… Alec… Alec!"
His eyes opened with a shuddering gasp, and he stared in disbelief at the concerned blue eyes gazing down at him.
"Alec, it was just a nightmare." James' hands were cupping his cheeks, thumbs softly stroking, soothing. "Are you alright now?"
He tried to open his mouth to speak, but the adrenaline still rushing through his blood just pushed his breath out jerkily. He shook his head, attempting to reassure as James began to move back, intent on checking for signs of shock.
"No…" He gripped James' forearms and drew him back.
"Alec?"
"Nothi…" He shook his head again and forced himself to keep his gaze fixed on his lover's. "I… I just… hold me."
And he was already deep within James' embrace before the words had barely left his mouth. He kept his eyes open and concentrated on the feel of James' body pressed against his from chest to hip, the callused skin of James' palms and fingers rasping over his back.
His mouth felt like it was filled with the acrid taste of ashes, and he swallowed to make it go away, ignoring the lingering traces to pay attention to James' voice whispering hollow promises of comfort and protection.
He prayed that it would be enough.

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's somthing left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
----Creed, "One Last Breath"
