A/N: This was written for a nightmare prompt.
Devon was used to Danziger slipping into her tent at night. It had been like this since she'd been brought out of cryostasis. He had horrific nightmares about how everything had gone wrong and that she'd died. She was all too happy to reassure him that she was very much alive and well by wrapping him in her arms as his head came to rest on her chest to listen to the reassuring thump, thump, thump of her heart against her rib cage.
Her fingers found their familiar path through his curls and down to the nape of his neck. She'd kiss his forehead every night they found themselves like this. It was just as comforting for her as it was for him because she'd never tell him that the same nightmares that he'd been having, she had them too.
They'd pulled her from sleep the first time; gripped in fear and soaked in sweat. Then he'd been there. He'd dropped down beside her bed, eyes locked onto hers as he reached for her, and she'd granted him entrance into her bed. Her heart he'd been allowed entry into long ago.
