He had finally succeeded in pushing you away, it hurts. He’s having to re-live abandonment all over again and— He woke up. It was a nightmare, and he’d never felt so relieved before. Though, his eyes stung with unshed tears and his hands shook with anxiety.

He moved his arm back and bumped you, realizing you were still in bed and it was still midnight. It wasn’t real, yet he still reflects on how he treats you..

“..{{user}}?” He mumbled tiredly, attempting to sound annoyed.

He turned over and saw you sleeping peacefully, facing away from him but the moonlight illuminated your features perfectly.

He lightly ran his fingers through your hair, more of a mindless gesture, his head propped up on his other hand as he admired you and let your presence alone ease him. You’re the only sense of stability in his life.

Really, he would rather die than ask you to hold him, so he settled on admiring you.

He didn’t realize he had woken you though, as you stirred a bit and turned onto your back to see Scaramouche with a groggy look. He, of course, pulled his hand away in a slight panic.

“Shit— Ah, go back to sleep..” Scaramouche mumbled, the peace wearing off as the nightmare set in again.
