She should've probably checked on Shu too. If she was having bad dreams, then her friend was probably too. It wasn't fair to hold on to Milo and expect him to baby her. It wasn't fair to keep pushing him to do something for her. She had all these doubts. All these worries. All these little nightmares building inside herself.
She made a small muffled sob against her shirt, even as she felt his arms wrap around her. It was so warm, so stupidly warm and she couldn't help the tears from coming anymore. She had been waiting to cry since she had gotten eaten by that stupid desert worm. She buried her face against his shoulder, mumbling all sorts of sorries for getting his shoulder wet, for crying, for being weak and easy to kill. For Chelsea falling in battle, for the dreams, for Finn and Jack even though she hadn't done anything for them. She was just so sorry.
Through the small sobs, she heard his question. She would say no. She should say no. She should really say no. SHE REALLY SHOULD SAY NO. But like she had when she was a kid, and she was scared of the nightmares that haunted her when she wasn't sleeping, the shadows that sulked by her bed, she wanted to crawl in the bed next to someone she knew would understand like her parents and it'd be okay, and she'd be okay because she wasn't alone, and it wasn't scary by herself. It'd be okay, because it was Milo and she trusted Milo the most on the Island. Because he hadn't let her down, even if he thought he did. Because he kept trying.
She made a small sound, and then quietly said, "Is it okay....for me to stay....?" She wanted too, what if the nightmares came back? What if they didn't? "It...It's okay that I don't want to leave?"

"Totally okay for you to stay," Milo told her. Part of him really wanted her to for some reason. Maybe because then he would know she really was here and alright and if those terrible dreams tried to creep up on him he would know she was fine because she was here in his arms. His mind would be at ease.
And already he was slowly pulled them back towards his bed. "Totally okay," he reassured her, "if its okay with you." Because Noemi kind of timid after all, but she was also letting him hug her for this long period of time.
It felt really nice.

She debated on it, because though she was scared, there was the underlining realization that she was in fact staying in a boys room, and in a boys bed. It wasn't her parents that she was crawling in between and being comforted by, but by her friend and neighbor and someone....someone that mattered. Who happened to be a boy.
She didn't bother voicing the thoughts though because they were already at the bed and she was looking at it with a sort of longing. Just one night. Just one night, and if the nightmares came back, at least she could wake Milo next to her instead of trying to deal with it by herself in her own room.
It was more scary being alone with the fear then with someone who understood. She crawled into the smaller bed, pressing herself as close as she could to the wall so he could fit too. "I...I don't mind." She mentioned shyly, "It's....It's okay." her eyes were still a bit red and she brought her hands up to rub the rest of the wetness away. "C...Can we talk about something else though? may...Maybe...Can...Can you tell me stories about your...Sentai rangers?" She pointed to one of the posters. "So...so we don't have to sleep thinking about those...those nightmares?" She smiled nervously at him, perhaps because she was requesting so much from him.

Where this was leading to didn't cross his mind; the whole sharing a bed thing. Maybe for a second actually with how sporadic the situation had transpired, but it was one of those the pros outweighed the cons thing so Milo didn't bother to debate it in his mind.
Milo settled himself on after her, handing her a blanket if she needed it before he lay down mindful of where she was - against the wall - but didn't make too much of an effort to stay close to the edge. He was in the middle but gave her enough space if needed (not like there was a lot on this bed, but they would make due). "Sure we can." He told her, positive all around as his eyes followed her hand to the poster she indicated. He scooted a little closer to her and began pointing out a few of the characters.
"That's from ToQger, its the new series. Haven't seen it yet but the theme is trains, ya? Apparently they can switch powers, like the red guy," he pointed to the one with the lettermen jacket, "can turn pink," and pointed to the girl in the pink cape looking thing. "Imagination is supposed to be a big thing." As the poster indicated, "'m hoping to find a place to binge watch it." He paused.
"Maybe we can go on leave together sometime and I can show you." Seemed like a good idea. But despite that, he yawned.

Noemi didn't take up MUCH space, thankfully. She didn't bother scooting thanks to the wall and snuggled into the blanket with Milo. For a moment, her breath caught as he was closer before looking at the poster to follow his story.
"ToQger." That was....hard to say almost, "Trains? Ohh They have themes!" She wondered where MagiBlue came from...and Chelsea was ZyuPink yeah? "So...The red guy can do the pink girls powers?" She blinked, "And...and its based of what they imagine..." She nodded as if she understood.
She didn't really but...it was nicer...better.
His yawn was contagious, as she followed after him with one. "I'd like to go on leave with you!" She closed her eyes, resting her head close to his, "I w...was going to........-" There was a quiet pause...mostly cause sleep was kicking in fast, "ask you. Stormy has a Dvd player....may..maybe she'll let us borrow it for your Rangers..." She mumbled. It was warm and safe and she couldn't help not the sudden comfort of just wanting to sleep. "I'd like..to watch with you."

"Ya, they do." Was all that he replied. It would have been so easy to just rattle of and explain some of the other themes that went on with the shows, especially about the first season of Power Rangers. Even maybe get to explain his nickname. But sleep also was beginning to creep up on Milo. "Haven't watched ToQger yet... but, seems like that's how it works." Maybe on leave one day he could find a source to watch it.
Like if he could ever get those DVDs now - he never got that list to Dwight, even after the few hours he worked on getting it together. But now at least there was another outlet. And well, even better someone to go search for them one day and watch them with. "Awesome ~" he softly laughed as he found his eyes closing, his head pressing more towards the pillow. "Totally gonna have to happen now."
Better thoughts now, hopefully enough to push away the nightmares for the rest of the night.

Noemi was already drifting off, contently safe here in this space.
"O-okay." Was all she managed to mumbled before falling back into sleep. Instead of dreaming about nightmares and death, it was filled with funny weird happy things. Milo was right there with her.
Dream or no dream, she slept nicely. She had one more thing to be thankful for, Milo's patience and the safe secure feeling he gave her.
She would treasure that. Chirigami WRAP AH YEAH THESE CUTIES
