Water surrounds Lisa, desperately she panics, trying anything to stay afloat. But it's useless, slowly but surely, she starts to sink.
"No," She cries out.
"I wanna live, I wanna-" Salt water invades her mouth, and the rest of her words are lost.
Slowly, Lisa descends and her vision begins to grow blurry. "I wanna live," She clings onto those three words. "I wanna live, I wanna live-"
Lisa eyelids fly open, and she sits up, scared stiff. For a minute she's confused where she is, but the memories slowly trickle back to her soon. She's in Hisami's and Kokonoe's apartment.
"Had a nightmare?" She turns and she's Hisami sitting at the desk, working on something.
"Yeah," She looks down at the faded blanket. "What about you?"
"Nah, I don't have them anymore," He swivels around in the chair. "I just don't need a lot of sleep."
"Ah," A pregnant pause hangs over the two. Lisa can't even think of going back to sleep, but she doesn't know what she could talk to Hisami about.
A clap of thunder shakes the apartment, and Lisa can't help but shudder. "You ok?" He looks her in the eye, concern painting his features.
"I'm good, just surprised me," She sweeps her bangs to hide her eyes.
"I don't mean that," Hisami joins her on the couch. "Nine has nightmares too, if you want to talk about it, I'm here."
This is a gentle side she's never seen before. To be honest, he's never frightened her, despite the threats, but it still surprises her how'd he'd want to comfort a runaway like her.
"No, just stay with me," And so he does, hand covering her's almost tenderly. Lisa knows this won't be enough. It's not enough to combat her demons, to heal her scars. But for now, it'll do
A.N. As you can guess I love the "A has nightmare and B comforts them" trope. For anon, lots of anons these days want hisalisa
