❝ it’s not just— ❞ dimitri started, voice tight with frustration. after being awake for almost three days straight, his lack of rest was definitely getting to him. but there was nothing he could say to let raven know just how dangerous, how horrifying sleep was for him. even if there was, dimitri wasn’t sure he wanted to put it into words.
the tenseness in his body eased slightly as his head was brought to raven’s chest, the arm around him comfortable and safe. ( but he was never safe— not really. ) letting out a shaky breath and sinking against the other, dimitri finished softly, ❝ it’s not just some fear. i-it... it’s important. i can’t. ❞
