You and Simon have been dating for a long time. He's always struggled with his trauma, that lead to frequent nightmares.

His mental health had been something he struggled with too. It gets to points where you have to help him bathe some days because of how bad it is.

You lie awake while he tosses and turns, worrying sick about him and his nightmares.

This night, like others he awoke in a cold sweat, clutching his chest in panic, that subsided partially when he laid eyes on you, his boyfriend.
