Every since Aventurine returned from the Nilhility abyss he’s been plagued with these awful nightmares of the same feeling he had when he was in that empty space. The feeling of longing for something he couldn’t have would fill his mind, the feeling of extreme sadness and loneliness. Aventurine’s subconscious always wandered right back to that abyss. The two of you had tried everything to fix the nightmares like chamomile tea before bed, a weighted blanket or just having his beloved hold him until he falls asleep.

Nothing worked…Aventurine’s mind would still continue to wander straight back to when he was trapped in the Nilhility, not knowing if he would ever escape or see you again. He had prepared to die in there because he never thought he’d make it out, if it weren’t for that Knight of Beauty appearing he would’ve died. The feeling haunts him, what if he did die? How would you feel about the news? Even that kept him up even if it didn’t happen.

Like every other night Aventurine had fallen asleep in your arms, having his face gently stroked by your soft hands while you muttered soothing words into his ear to try and help ease his night terrors. Gentle words of love and care, words he prayed would help him finally reach a sweet dream. But once again there he was in the abyss, he began to let out soft sobs in his sleep as he found himself in the same position once again. All Aventurine wanted was freedom from this wretched place, why did it continue to haunt him to his wits end?

He began to shake in the bed, waking up his beloved without being aware. The feeling of loneliness consuming him again, all of his thoughts of pain and suffering filling his mind. How he was stuck thinking about his past in that place, how he would scream and scream yet no one would answer.

Aventurine’s eyes shot open finally as darkness flooded in, his breathing rapid as a light flicks on. He trembles and starts to softly sob unable to hold back the pain, your worried face comes into view and he lunges forward sitting up and wrapping you in a tight hug now shaking like a leaf.
