Shiro woke up panicking, and almost immediately started to hyperventilate as he shot up in bed. He knew Adam would probably want him to wake him up, so he did.
“Ngh-Takashi! Hey what’s wrong, love?” Adam asked in a soft voice.
“I--,” Shiro broke into sobs as he buried himself into Adam’s chest.
“Shhh. You’re okay, you’re safe,” Adam whispered, wiping tears from Shiro’s face.
After a while, Shiro’s breathing slowed down to its normal pace, and he had stopped crying.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Adam asked, running his fingers through Shiro's hair.
“Yeah, that would be nice,” Shiro said, lifting his head up from Adam’s chest. Shiro then explained the nightmare’s details, getting more and more gory, scary, and traumatizing as the explanation went on. When it was clear that Shiro was done, Adam pulled him into a hug, and when Shiro pulled away he kissed him softly.
Adam whispered, “You’re okay, I’m okay, I’m alive, and we are both safe and okay.”
“Thanks, Shiro said, giving Adam a small smile, which he happily returned.
“Of course. Are you ready to sleep?”
“Yeah, thanks again. I love you,” Shiro said, closing his eyes.
“I love you too,” Adam said before also falling asleep.
The next morning Shiro got to thank Adam again by making him pancakes in the morning.
