You wake up screaming, sitting bolt upright and clutching at your stomach.
"Dave?"
Great, now you've woken up your boyfriend. Another reason to feel horrible.
Karkat sits up and wraps his arms around you, making soothing humming-clicking noises trying to calm you down a bit. it's not the first time you've had nightmares and it's certainly not going to be the last. You see, because your aspect was Time, you now experience flashbacks, nightmares and hallucinations from around fourteen different timelines.
Something wet splashes against your hand and you realise you're crying. Wiping your eyes you twist and return Karkat's hug. "Sorry for waking ya Kitkat."
"S'okay." he mumbles. "Was it a really bad one?"
You nod in affirmation. A quick glance at the clock shows you it's three am. Karkat wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon. The troll sighs and pulls you down so you're lying against his chest. You sigh and try to return to the welcome embrace of sleep. Behind you, Karkat resumes humming softly, stroking your hair and holding tight. A soft smile creeps across your face as you drift off once more into sleep.
Thankfully, no more nightmares terrorise your dreams that night.
EDIT: *apologises*
