for @pastichemuses bc she just as bad as I am
He hadn’t meant to cry out. Usually he was able to catch himself and wake up just before. Or, he just thought that he did. His only other roommate was Joanna and she never complained about him making noise.
Justin sat there, his breathing hard and sweat trickling down the middle of his forehead. He was fine. He was just plagued by each and every face of the person whose life he had taken. Some days he went without them but the recent stress had triggered them back into play again. He looked up sharply as the door opened, blue eyes softening slightly so.
“I-I-I’m sorry,” he trembled, gripping a fistful of his sheets in an effort to still his shaking limbs. “I didn’t mean to wake you. J-just go back to bed. It’s fine. Everything is fine.”
