It was a beautiful morning outside, the sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing... A perfect day for a pleasant walk in the park. The warm sunlight cracked through the blinds in the room, it actually made things a little cosier. Avery’s eyes slowly opened and they grunted a little bit, sitting up and rubbing their eyes. Their head felt… a little fuzzy. Probably because they were still a little sleepy. Avery yawned and turned their head to their left, looking down at a sleeping Spaceboy, he was faced away from them as he slept, Avery quietly giggled at this. They reached down and gently poked his back, a little smile on their face. “Rise and shine handsome~” Avery whispered in his ear, a smug smile on their face, they waited a few seconds, he didn’t even stir… huh. Oh right… he’s a heavy sleeper.” Avery mumbled to themself, they placed their hand on his shoulder and squeezed. Again, nothing. Avery raised an eyebrow, they shook him. “Are you pretending to sleep again?” Avery waited for a response, nothing… again. Avery huffed, rolling their eyes playfully. “Okay seriously, get up Spaceboy.” Avery spoke, their voice a little louder and their tone more stern but slightly worried. Avery suddenly noticed they could smell something metallic, they also heard a dripping noise coming from where Spaceboy was… whatever the liquid was it was hitting the floor… What was that about…? “…Spaceboy?” Avery’s heart started to race a little and a cold sweat started. Avery slowly put both of their hands on his shoulder, he was… strangely cold. They sighed, before turning him around, hoping to see that handsome face they fell in love with. But what Avery saw caused them to shriek and jump back off of the bed, landing on their back. Avery’s blue eyes went wide and filled up with terror and their face went paper white. Where his right eye should have been, it was gone, gouged out and blood and juices were spilling out of his eye socket and there was blood coming out of his mouth. He was dead.

Avery couldn’t get a word out as they stared at his lifeless body bleeding all over the bed, their entire body was shaking as they started to hyperventilate, they felt as if they were going to puke from the horrible sight. Avery’s head was spinning and they felt as if they were going to suffocate from pure fear and anxiety. “No… no, no! NO! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING.” Avery sobbed, their lungs struggled to breathe and static noise started to fill their ears. “You can’t be gone… you…” Avery squeezed their eyes shut and clutched their head in their hands, tugging at their hair and digging their fingers into their scalp. “I’m so sorry… I should have been there to protect you!” Avery sobbed, they should have been there when those people took him… Spaceboy should have been safe, now look at what became of him! The room around them started to fade away to black, all that was there was Spaceboys body and Avery. The only words that came out of Avery’s mouth were “I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY-” Over and over again in choked up sobs.

“Avery…” Avery heard a faint voice calling their name from somewhere, but couldn’t focus on it, the smell of the blood and the image of Spaceboys dead body overwhelmed all of their senses way too much. “Avery!” Avery felt everything start to fade away, they kept crying and their eyes opened, their ears started to ring loudly. So… loudly. They couldn’t process anything other than that Spaceboy was dead and it was all their fault. They couldn’t protect him, they broke the promise they made to protect him, he was gone. It was all their fault. It was all their fault. It was all their-

“AVERY!” Avery’s eyes shot open and they gasped loudly, they shot up from the bed and they were shaking all over. Avery’s tear filled eyes darted around the bedroom, it was the middle of the night and the moonlight peaked through the curtains. The only thing Avery could hear was a loud ringing in their ears, unable to focus on anything as the image from that horrible nightmare flashed in their eyes and their stomach started to churn. They didn’t even realise that right next to them was Spaceboy, safe and sound but… staring at them with a wide eye and look of great concern. “Avery? Hey… look at me.” Spaceboy reached a hand out slowly to put it on Avery’s shoulder, but they suddenly got right out of the bed and rushed out of the bedroom. “Avery! What…” Spaceboy called out, quickly getting out of the bed and rushing behind them, he heard the door to the bathroom fly open, a loud thump, then… the sound of Avery vomiting. Spaceboy’s look of worry only worsened, he flicked the bathroom light on and stared down at Avery, he slowly crouched down next to Avery and rubbed circles on their back, trying to comfort them. After a few seconds the vomiting ceased and Avery sat up right, they were shaking horrendously and they looked so pale, after flushing the toilet they slowly turned to Spaceboy, their eyes were wide, red and filled with tears. “Avery… are you okay?” Avery said nothing, all they could do was stare. Spaceboy could see how terrified they were, he felt his stomach drop at their current appearance, their hair was a mess, their breathing was heavy and their body was drenched in sweat. “Stars… what happened?” He mumbled in concern, Spaceboy had never seen Avery act like this before, they looked shell shocked which just made him worry even more.

Silence filled the room as Avery continued to stare at Spaceboy, particularly into his eyes as if they were taking him in. Avery’s eyes were filled with nothing but anxiety… After a few seconds, Avery’s empty eyes softened and they clenched their fists tightly, before suddenly grabbing Spaceboy and yanking him close. Avery wrapped their arms around him and buried their face into Spaceboys chest. Spaceboy jumped at the sudden embrace and his arms flew up in surprise, he was about to say something but… then he heard Avery loudly sobbing and noticed that they had started hyperventilating. Spaceboys expression softened and he wrapped his arms around his partner, looking down at them with concern and sorrow. “Hey, hey… it’s okay Avery...” Spaceboy spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. “‘I’m sorry… I’m SO sorry!” Avery cried out, tears streaming down their pale face as their eyes squeezed shut. “Huh? What are you…” “I should have been there! I shouldn’t have gone to work that day!” Avery coughed out, choking on their own tears, devolving into incoherent cries, coughs and sputters. Spaceboys eye widened as he suddenly realised what was up, he looked down at the top of Avery’s head, they kept repeating how sorry they were in choked up sobs. “Oh Avery…” Spaceboy sighed, he slowly but surely tilted their head up with both hands. Avery looked up at him, their eyes were red and puffy and they felt as if their throat was constricted. It was so much harder to breathe than normal. “Okay, what we’re going to do is breathe together. All you have to do is do what I do. Alright?” Spaceboy instructed, wiping their tears away with his thumbs, his heart ached as he saw how upset Avery was, it pained him to see them blame themself for his mistakes.

Avery nodded slowly, they were shaking all over and they were clutching onto Spaceboy tightly. Spaceboy held both sides of their face with his hands as gentle as he could be. “Alright, good. Just… copy me okay? Breathe in…” Spaceboy and Avery both breathed in air through their noses, for four seconds to be precise. “Hold.” They held their breath for four seconds. “Breathe out.” They exhaled through their mouths for four more seconds. “Good, just keep doing that for me okay? You’re doing great.” Spaceboy gave them a reassuring smile, holding them close and pecking the top of their head gently. “Keep doing that okay? It’s supposed to help, I think.” Spaceboy said, looking down at Avery to make sure they didn’t freak out again. “…okay…” Avery mumbled, repeating the breathing pattern. In… hold… out. In…hold…out.

Minutes passed, Avery’s heart rate eventually started to slow back to normal and they weren’t as pale anymore. They still looked… disturbed though. Spaceboy was right there the whole time, cradling them in his arms and reassuring them, he looked into those pretty blue eyes that he adored and finally spoke. “Feel better?” He asked, Avery hummed in response. “Yeah, a little…” Spaceboy nodded, gently placing a hand on their cheek. “Good… that’s good.” Said Spaceboy, Avery sighed, they held Spaceboys hand against their cheek and closed their eyes. “I’m glad that you're safe captain…” Avery mumbled, squeezing his hand gently. Spaceboy stared for a moment, even if they felt a little better… he was still concerned. “Do you want to tell me what happened?” Spaceboy asked, his voice was so gentle, he didn’t want to stress Avery out after all. Avery thought for a moment, before pulling away from him and rubbing their wrists nervously as they stared down at the bathroom tiles. “Maybe when my mouth doesn’t taste like vomit.” Avery smiled weakly, Spaceboy nodded in response and returned the soft smile. “Okay, you freshen up while I get you some water, yeah?” He placed a gentle kiss on their hand before standing up. As he was about to leave the room he looked back at Avery for a moment before leaving the room. Avery sighed, they felt bad for walking Spaceboy up but… maybe it was for the best. They stood up and went to the sink, grabbed their toothbrush and the toothpaste and began to brush their teeth, the minty flavour of the toothpaste was nice and did a good job of getting that horrible taste out of their mouth.

Spaceboy switched on the lights to the kitchen, sighing softly and walking in. He opened up one of the cabinets and got out a glass, one of the many that was in the cabinet, he went over to the sink and turned the tap on, water gushing out and into the glass. As the glass filled with water, his mind wandered off. Just moments ago he had witnessed Avery having a nightmare. He remembered waking up abruptly and looking over to Avery, only to see them crying in their sleep. Spaceboy sighed at the thought, his expression shifting to one of sorrow. He felt shitty that Avery was suffering because of his own mistakes, they didn’t deserve that. Not one bit. They were so… amazing, too wonderful to even put into words. Spaceboy wanted to see them happy again, he smiled just the tiniest bit at the thought of them smiling again, it warmed his heart. As he stared off into space, he jumped at the sudden sensation of the cold water hitting his skin, he hadn’t even realised the glass had overflowed with water. Spaceboy quickly turned the tap off and poured some of the water out, he wiped the water that had gotten on his hand on his shirt, which left a little water stain and he started to make his way back to the bathroom, Spaceboy had decided right then and there that he was gonna do his best to make them smile again.

By now Avery had finished brushing their teeth, they were sitting on the edge of the bath and staring at the floor, doing those breathing methods to try and calm down a bit more. Avery’s gaze shifted from the tiled floor up to the door where Spaceboy stood. He walked over and handed them the glass of water, Avery smiled a little, a sad one. They took the glass and sipped, the cool liquid going down their throat helped soothe the burning feeling in their throat from retching a few minutes prior. Spaceboy sat down on the ledge of the bath next to them, it was silent. The captain was trying to come up with the right words to say while Avery just didn’t have that much energy in them to speak. “Do you want to talk about it now?” Spaceboy asked, looking down at them as he gently took their hand. Avery sighed softly, that image of him from that nightmare… it was still fresh in their mind, as if it had burned itself into Avery’s retinas and they couldn’t look away. “I’ll try, but I don’t think I’m gonna get through it without crying again.” Spaceboy frowned, he scooted closer to Avery and wrapped his arm around their waist to gently pull them in closer for a side hug. “I’m right here, don’t worry.” Avery smiled weakly, resting their head on his shoulder before sighing and starting to slowly explain the events of the nightmare, their eyes watering more and more as they kept on explaining.

“And… then I woke up…” *Avery finished explaining the graphic details of the nightmare, they glanced at Spaceboy, who looked the most worried and concerned he had ever felt in his life. Avery looked away, feeling ashamed of themself. Ashamed that their mind had created such a disturbing dream. They… they didn’t want to worry Spaceboy with a stupid freak but… they would probably go mad if they didn’t talk about it. They took another sip of their water without saying anything, they were too nervous to do so. Spaceboy sighed and looked down at the floor, leaning over a little as he did so. “Christ Avery… that’s horrible.” Avery nodded and put the glass of water down on the floor. “But… I’m here now, aren’t I?” Spaceboy asked, moving his hand over to Avery’s chin and making them look at him. “Listen closely, I’m not going anywhere. Not any time soon, alright? You can count on that.” Spaceboy wiped the tears that were silently rolling down Avery’s cheeks, flashing a small, yet tired smile at them. Avery shakily sighed and took one of Spaceboys hands in their own, squeezing it a little bit. “I…I know. I just can’t stop worrying.” Avery huffed as they rubbed their eyes tiredly, it was true. Avery has always been the type to worry about the people they loved, it was just in their nature to do so. Spaceboy admired that, he thought it was charming. But it also made him worry in turn. The Captain gently pulled Avery closer to him and cupped their cheek, brushing some hair out of their face.

“Well, that’s a good thing to me. You worry cause you care right?” Avery nodded, leaning into Spaceboys hand and smiling just the tiniest bit. “Yeah… of course I care. How couldn’t I?” Spaceboy smiled at Avery, he leaned in a little bit. “You care about me, that’s why you keep thinking something bad is gonna happen… that’s really sweet to me, Bunny.” Spaceboy smiled warmly at Avery, stars… he loved them so much. They were so sweet… ack, he could melt around them. “Spaceboy, c-come on…” Avery mumbled as they looked away nervously, their cheeks going red. “What? I’m just being honest… darling.” Spaceboy teased, gently pecking Avery on the lips and playing around with their hair. “Hm… you want to know the best part about waking up?” “What?” Spaceboy leaned in even closer to Avery, smiling even more. “I get to look at you…”

Avery’s eyes widened and they snorted, looking away and pushing him playfully. “Spaceboy… Be serious!” Avery joked with an amused smile on their face, that seemed to have cheered them up quite a bit! Spaceboy chuckled and brought Avery in even closer. “There’s my happy bunny!” “S-Spaceboy… you’re gonna make me go all red!” Avery laughed loudly as Spaceboy started to plant several kisses all over their pretty face. The captain hugged them tightly as he did this, not wanting to let them go, he was enjoying kissing them so much! Avery just laughed and snorted the entire time, squirming a little bit but eventually giving in. After a big batch of kisses were planted all over Avery’s face and neck, Spaceboy eventually stopped, he was grinning and he held onto both of Avery’s hands. “Feel better yet?” Spaceboy questioned as he looked into Avery’s eyes for an answer. Avery was smiling like an idiot and their face was entirely red, they nodded and crossed their arms. “Still a little shook up… but I think I’ll be fine to go back to bed.” “That’s what I like to hear.” Spaceboy stood up, holding his hand out for Avery. “I’ll be just fine, okay? If anything does happen to me… then you beat the crap out of whoever killed or hurt me alright?” Spaceboy joked, Avery picked up their glass of water and took Spaceboys hand without missing a beat.

Spaceboy led Avery out of the bathroom, making sure to turn all of the lights off as he did so… wouldn’t want to waste the electricity. Once they got back to their bedroom, Avery set the glass of water down on the nightstand and slipped back under the covers. Spaceboy joined them, once they were both under they immediately went into their usual sleeping positions. Spaceboys arms wrapped around Avery and he rested his chin on the top of Avery’s head, while Avery would cuddle up with him and press their head against his chest, just so they could listen to their heart beat… it calmed Avery down so much, to know that he was okay, safe and sound… they really did love him. Avery yawned and closed their eyes, feeling exhausted from the events of the night… they just wanted to sleep. Spaceboy felt the same way, he was tired…. But happy that Avery was doing better. “Mhm… I love you, please don’t die or anything like that…” Avery sleepily mumbled as they nuzzled his chest. Spaceboy smiled tiredly, placing a hand on the back of their head and playing with their hair.

“I won’t, starlight. I promise. I’m gonna fight for you and me in whatever way I can, alright? You can count on it.” Spaceboy gently kissed Avery on the top of their head, closing his eye. Avery smiled and cupped his cheek, leaning in for a soft, tender kiss. Spaceboys eye shot open at that, a warm blush spreading across his cheeks before he returned the kiss, holding Avery’s hand. A few seconds later they both pulled away, smiling at each other like the dorks that they were. “I love you, Spaceboy…” Avery whispered, moving their head back down to his chest and closing their eyes. Spaceboy chuckled softly and sighed, closing his eye and starting to drift back off to sleep almost immediately. It was two in the morning after all. “I love you too, Avery.” And with that… the happy couple fell asleep in each others arms once again, this time… Avery knew for sure that Spaceboy would be okay and Spaceboy… he knew that Avery was always going to be by his side… no matter what the future brought upon them.
