Death

Hunter bolted straight up as the nightmare left him awake yet again. He glanced over at the other side of the bed and noticed it was not occupied. 'At least I didn't wake Cam up' he thought as he rolled out of the bed in search of Cam knowing he could be in one of two places.

He checked the kitchen first and shook his head at not finding who he was look for. That meant that he would be in the living room. Hunter turned the corner and standing in front of the living balcony was Cam.

Hunter went up behind him and as he was about to place his hand on Cam's shoulder Cam leaned back into him allowing Hunter to hold him to help get rid of his nightmare.

"Hey" his sleep ridden voice said sounding husky in the early morning darkness.

"Nightmare?" Cam asked quietly trying not to talk loud.

"Same as always" Hunter mumbled as he moved his hand to the back of Cam's neck.

"I dreamed that everyone was dead. Death was all around us. I didn't like it. Being alone again after being surrounded by people for so long" Hunter said just as quiet as Cam was earlier.

"They get better as the years go on. Maybe death won't get us after all" Hunter mused more to himself than Cam.

Cam just closed his eyes and leaned back into his boyfriend. Death would come for them, yeah, but not anytime soon.
