for once, the last thing he needs right now are nightmares to come and worsen his condition barely restored.* @BuriedAllen

*smiles as he hears @BuriedAllen cooking, the sounds soothing his mind as he drifts of to sleep, hoping he won't have any nightmares -

his arm hugging the pillow as he sighs and closes his eyes, trying to catch some actual sleep* @BuriedAllen

his jeans and sox, leaving his t-shirt on.* feel free to come and kiss me awake whenever you want *he turns on his side-@BuriedAllen

his father was a monster, but what if remembering that night means finding out that James is just like him? That's why he - @BuriedAllen

remembers himself whispering words of hatred in the night, when his old man couldn't hear him, and he meant each one of them- @BuriedAllen

and his mother, but also because he wanted to? He remembers wishing that his father would disappear from their lives, he- @BuriedAllen
