→ @bitx-me ← “There's no way anybody can get you here. Okay?” Maria relaxed a bit when Onyx seemed to return to lucidity, smiling at the girl. She'd crouched down next to her, afraid that touching her would set her off further. Now, she hesitantly reached forward to run a hand through her hair. “You're fine. Nightmares happen. If you need to crawl into bed with me or something to feel safer right now, you're more than welcome.”

••• @rocketeertwins ••• “Stuff. Childhood stuff, I guess, it's… complicated, and kinda dark. And doesn't really matter.” Domino was backing out of talking about it now, though her head still rested on his shoulder, curled up on the couch together. “Doesn't matter.”

ϞϞ @colorlcss ϞϞ “It's not nothing if it's got you this upset, is it?” Spark sighed a bit, propping himself up on one shoulder in bed. Something like this couldn't go unaddressed, could it? “C'mon. Talk to me.”

Nightmare - closed (purebloodcarrow1x1)

The Ministry had begun to crack down with the start of the new year. The Hit Wizards were given extra training, the Muggle Liaison team was on constant standby, and the Aurors were run off their feet. Even the newbies were being skipped over some of their designated training time in favour of on-the-job instruction to tackle the flare-up of violence across the country.

Which was why William Marshall and Jason Argyle, a pair of junior Aurors with a whole half-year of experience under their belts, had been brought along to a Death Eater attack on a tiny village in northern Yorkshire. It was complete pandemonium by the time they arrived; several houses were aflame, and the screams of panicked and injured victims rang out through the village.

In the darkness, illuminated only by the burning houses and the flash of spells, it was hard to make out the Death Eaters, who were taking advantage of this to split up and evade capture. William and Jason, for the most part, were trying to deal with the trapped Muggles while their more experienced colleagues did the actual fighting; after a couple of incidents a few months ago the boys were rather more wary of trying to handle the Dark wizards themselves.

Until Jason spotted a lone figure trying to sneak away round a nearby shed and off towards the local orchard. “Son of a - I’m goin’ after him, follow me when y’can!” He was plunging off into the night almost before he’d finished speaking.

“Just make sure he’s alone before you try anything!” William shouted after him, with a pang of fright. He would have followed at once, but the wail of a terrified child trapped in an upstairs room kept him where he was.

Jason waved acknowledgement and plunged on towards the escapee, throwing a hex at them mostly as a warning given it missed completely. “Stay where you are! That’s a Ministry order!”

He was rolling around in his bed,kicking the second blanket of its edge. The sheets were ruffled andhis bedgown seemed to be wrapped around his body several times,exposing the scars on his thighs. A low whimper was falling of hislips yet again, followed by a helpless sound.

The darkness was reaching out andhis blood ran cold when his dagger met the floor with a dull sound.Taking a step back, he nearly slipped on the sticky and slippyground. Slowly turning his head, he looked at the massacre hecaused...

Nightmare (closed)

watchdog-ciel

Alois was restless. He'd somehow convinced Ciel into letting him stay the night at the Phantomhive manor, as both Claude and Sebastian were out doing their nightly demon business. The room he was given was not as large as his own, but he chose not to be too picky tonight. The manor was entirely silent, and for a few moments the blonde boy considered standing up and walking to the room next door, just to annoy Ciel. The other earl was probably asleep already, and wouldn’t notice if Alois were to sneak in...

He eventually decided against it and tried falling asleep. It worked, however only for a few moments, as he soon woke himself up with a loud scream. Luka... Sebastian killed Luka... Tears stung in Alois’ eyes as he tried to focus on breathing. It’s his fault... everything is his fault... Luka, my old life, my innocence... I want them back. He sobbed brokenly, praying that no one heard him. He wanted to hide under the covers and never come out again.

(Nightmare Meme) All he remembered before entering full consciousness was movement at one side of his body, and a shout. "Aominecchi...?" The blonde sat up quickly, resting gentle, but firm hands on the other male's shoulders. "Aominecchi, it's okay, you're here with me. You're safe." A hand shifted position to rest, cupping one side of Aomine's face, stroking it softly, and up towards his hair. "I'm right here to keep you safe."

My muse wakes up from a horrible nightmare, how does yours comfort mine?

Aomine was panting, trying to catch his breath. It felt like he couldn’t breathe, his chest heavy when he somehow heard a voice. A voice famliar. A voice he liked to hear, that sounded soothing. The sudden touch made him jolt. He didn’t expect that and quickly turned his head. He couldn’t say anything in this moment, just giving a small nod.
