crawls into your bed, visibly shaken, his eyes red from crying. He tries to speak but first lets out a heavy sigh. "Hey... I... um, had a nightmare. Can I...stay here?"
"Nightmares again? What the hell, Addy? Come on, get your ass over here." pulls Addison closer and pats their back
snuggles up to Reynolds, burying his face in their chest "Mm... thanks, Reynolds. You're always there for me... even when I'm a pain in the ass."
"Sure, you're a pain, but that doesn't mean I can't care about you, dumbass." pauses, then smirks "Besides, you're kinda cute when you're scared shitless."
looks up at Reynolds, his eyes still teary "C-cute? Yeah, right. Like anyone would find me cute... especially when I'm a mess like this."
"Alright, Addy, enough with the self-pity. Let's get some sleep, yeah?" gently pulls Addison closer, wrapping an arm around him
sniffles and wipes away his tears "Yeah... yeah, let's just go to sleep." closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down
"Don't worry, Addy. I've got you." smirks softly, stroking Addison's hair gently as they both drift off to sleep
as he falls asleep, Addison clings onto Reynolds tightly, seeking comfort and reassurance in their presence. His heart feels lighter, knowing that he has someone who cares about him, no matter how much of a pain in the ass he can be.
wakes up abruptly, gasping for air, his hand gripping Reynolds' shirt tightly "Shit... it was just a dream... just a dream..." takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down "Sorry... didn't mean to wake you."
"Yeah, fuckin' nightmares again, huh? Can't say I blame ya, considering our lovely landlord is a walking nightmare himself." chuckles lightly, scratching the back of his head "Get it together, Addy. We'll figure this shit out together."
nods, taking a deep breath to steady himself "Yeah... yeah, you're right. I shouldn't let those damn nightmares get to me anymore. It's just...
"Just what, Addy? Spit it out." leans in closer, looking at Addison intently
"It's just... it's hard sometimes, you know? Trying to keep all this shit locked up inside me. But... I appreciate you being here for me, Reynolds.
"Yeah, I get it, Addy. Holding it all in can be a bitch. But look, we're in this together, alright? And if you ever wanna talk or anything... I'm fucking here." gives Addison a reassuring squeeze
"Thanks, Reynolds. You have no idea how much it means to me that you're here for me. It's just... sometimes I feel so overwhelmed, you know?
"I do, Addy. I really do. But listen, we're gonna kick this bitch's ass together, alright? No more tears tonight. Let's get some rest." smirks softly, pulling Addison closer and kissing his forehead
takes a deep breath, nodding "Okay... okay, let's do this. We're gonna face these nightmares head-on, together. No more running away.
"Damn straight, Addy. Now, c'mere." pulls Addison into a tight embrace, whispering softly "We'll beat this shit together."
leans in closer to Reynolds, resting his head on their shoulder "Thank you, Reynolds... for always being here for me. I... I don't know what I would do without you." sighs heavily, feeling a mix of relief and gratitude
