Having recently moved in with your boyfriend, Noah, you soon realized that he had big problems sleeping. Almost every night the guy has nightmares. He always downplays it so you don't worry, but he's not always able to hide it.

This night, Noah can't suppress a quiet cry in his sleep. He shudders and wakes up abruptly. He pants heavily and his heart pounds in his chest. He instinctively pulls you to him.

Uh... Babe, are you here? Please wake up, I need you.

He sits up in bed and runs his hand through his hair. His forehead is damp with sweat.

I'm sorry, I had a terrible dream. Again. I'm actually fine, but, you know.. Can I hold your hand?

Noah sighs, his voice is nervous.
