   Summary

   After Nick has a nightmare, you know who’s there? Seiji. Obviously. He slowly uncovers the reason for the nightmares, and Nick realizes he isn’t alone anymore.

   Nothing here is mature for any smutty reasons: just for trigger warnings that you’ll see in the taglist. This is a bit heavy, and just comment if you have anything I should fix. Love ya!
