you woke up a bit distorted, your face wet with tears. you had another nightmare. it was the same one you'd been having for the past few weeks.

you had your phone in your hand now, finger hovering over the send button on your message to vessel. he'd really helped you lately, always coming over when you needed some comfort after a really bad nightmare.

but this was different. you two were amongst the band, on the road staying in different places for different shows. tonight, everyone had their separate hotel rooms since there was more than one show here.

a knock then sounded on your door, breaking you from your thoughts. it was vessel, his low and gruff voice speaking through. “cmon, it’s cold out here, let me in, darling.”
