Her sleep had been restless. Or rather, when she was finally able to fall to sleep. The she-wolf had taken to curling up among her pile of pillows and mini pets to seek a small bit of comfort from them. She had been avoiding slipping into Ren's room, however. LW didn't want him to see her like this.
Something was following her. She could feel it. Sense it. But not see it. Not in this grey world. In this... nothing.
Where only her hands gleamed a bright crimson.
Just like the crimson dripping down her chest.
And It was there. Watching. Mocking.
No... not 'It'.
Her brother.
Irving.
Holding something in his hand...
LW woke up in a cold sweat, arms trembling and quickly looked down at her chest. Solid and whole. Her breathing was rapid and just to reassure herself it was a dream, she looked around her room. Color. Familiar.
Something 'woofed' softly, making her jump slightly only to find Austin curled beside her. Feet twitching in a dream.
Nightmare.
It had been another nightmare.
The she-wolf pulled her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on top of them. Her tail wrapped around her legs as she closed her eyes to try and relax. To slow her breathing. And ignore the faint trickle of stupid tears that slid down her cheeks.
It was just a dream. A bad... dream.

It was, for the most part, relatively unusual for Ren not to sleep curled up on the floor of LW's room, but there were times in which space was good and space was needed.
He really hoped this was not one of these times.
Padding softly down the hall, dressed in a pair of sweatpants and an old teeshirt, Ren made his way barefoot down the hall of the monster dorms and over towards the stairs. After everything that had gone on lately, what with the vivid happenings in their mind, after Gabrian, he was feeling as though he really did not want to be alone right now. And besides, he missed LW quite terribly, in spite of the fact that he saw her virtually every day.
His ghoulfriend's door was closed. Ren did not bother to knock, but instead eased the door open quietly, wincing slightly as it creaked, hoping the sound wouldn't awaken her. As it turned out, however, he need not have worried; LW was awake, sitting down on the floor, looking pale and teary.
"LW? Baby?"
Ren kicked the door shut behind him and hurried over to where the shewolf sat, his wings rustling behind him. He pulled LW into his arms and kissed the top of her head.
"What's wrong, sweetheart? Are you okay?"

She didn't hear the door when it first opened. Until it creaked. The sound made her wince and tense up. Was it... had she really heard it? Or was it... That again. Creeping after her, no matter how hard she tried to get away-
She knew that voice.
And it instantly stilled any of her unease and fears. LW ducked her head to try and hide her teary eyed face from Ren. But it was pointless. He'd seen her already. The she-wolf curled tighter until his arms were sliding around her and then she couldn't stop herself from curling into him. Taking comfort from his presence. His scent.
"Ren... " She sighed softly, closing her eyes and tucking her head against his chest. For a few minutes, she just sat there quietly, letting herself relax.
Tilting her head up slightly to look at her boilfriend, LW whispered, "... I... Nightmares. I had another one." Perhaps she could be stronger and had dealt with worse, but every time she closed her eyes and saw the heart held in that Thing's hand... wearing her youngest brother's face? The she-wolf shuddered.
"Jack... damnit... " She muttered. "I didn't... want you to see me like this. And worry." The she-wolf added in a tiny voice. kurotomato *DASHES TOWARDS WITH ARMS OPEN AND TRIPS OVER DOGS* QUQ

The anxious feeling in Ren's stomach made him feel, as usual, useless and unhelpful, especially when it came to his ghoulfriend. He wrapped his arms around her legs and one around her back and lifted her into the air, moving towards LW's bed, where he sat down with her in his lap, his wings curled around the both of them.
"Another one?" he said softly, smoothing the hair back away from her face and pressing a kiss to her temple, his eyes shutting briefly.
A cold sensation against his leg made him glance down; Austin was poking at him, and Ren absently leaned down and patted his head before returning his attentions to his ghoulfriend.
"Hey," he said quietly, and leaned down, kissing her. When he leaned back, his hand was against her face, his thumb brushing over her tear-stained cheek.
"Don't even say that," he said. "I want to make sure you're okay, and it doesn't matter what you look like, I will always be here for you."
Ren gathered LW tightly in his arms. "What sort of nightmare was it?"

The she-wolf cuddled into the gryphon, taking comfort from his presence. His scent. Everything that was her boilfriend. She barely noticed the difference between moving from the ground to her bed, only clinging a little more tightly to Ren.
"... Yes." LW sighed into his chest, rubbing her cheek gently along his after a moment.
She wanted to shy away, hide her face again, but Ren's warm fingers had LW leaning into his hand. She felt guilty for trying to keep her nightmares from him. Especially when he looked at her like that.
"I... I didn't... want to worry you." She murmured. But she had anyways.
LW carefully shifted in his lap, sliding her arms around her boilfriend and resting her head along his shoulder. She was quiet at first, sorting out the easiest way to explain her nightmares.
"They're... about the darkness. Or nothingness. I-I don't know what it was!" LW shivered. "Every time I close my eyes, I see... It. The thing that wore my brother's face."

He curled up next to LW, his arms around her and his face in her hair, his eyes closed. One hand gently brushed against her cheek, idly stroking a few strands of hair away from her face as he looked down at her.
"I'm your boilfriend," said Ren with a gentle smile. "Tell me not to worry and I'll probably worry twice as much, but that's what comes from being a boilfriend. I'll worry about you no matter what, so you might as well just tell me."
He knew of the darkness she spoke of, of the terrible, awful, suffocating blackness. Ren's eyes flickered a little, and his arms tightened around her, one hand smoothing up and down her back in what were supposed to be reassuring gestures.
"Hey," he said softly. "Hey. It wasn't your brother, okay? It wasn't."
He kissed her forehead, closing his eyes.
"Your brothers are fine. We're fine. We're okay, you're okay. We're right here, together, you and me, and your brother is at home. Nobody's gonna hurt you, especially not if I can help it."

Okay so maybe he had a point there. And, it was Ren. He'd always worry about her. She knew that. Just like she always worried about him.
Such was the way of relationships.
It made the fur on her arms bristle just thinking about that... Thing! But made her heart ache more. Of all her brothers, it had to be Irving. The youngest. The one she felt most protective of and always shared a special bond with. LW shivered, trying to focus on the comforting feeling of Ren's hand on her back.
"I... I know." LW whispered. "R-Really I do! But... " It had all been too real.
She closed her eyes, nodding at Ren's words. They were safe. Her brother was safe. I'm safe.
It took several minutes before she was able to loosen her hold on her boilfriend. And a couple more before she could pull away enough to meet his gaze. "I'm sorry, kitten. For not telling you sooner." About the nightmares. How they had been haunting her.

Ren shifted so that he was leaning on one arm, his head against his hand to look over at LW beside him. He couldn't say that he didn't relate to this, because his own dreams were as dark as hers, but he didn't have the same connection to his family that she did.
His family was at Amityville, not at the place he had grown up with.
Ren reached up a hand, gently stroking the side of LW's face affectionately. "Hey," he said. "No worries, my love, no worries. I just don't want you to be by yourself when you're feeling like this, okay? Never be afraid to tell me when you're feeling sad or afraid or hurt or angry."
He pushed himself towards her and pressed his lips against hers gently before drawing away.
"I love you, okay?" said Ren, and smiled. "So let me love you and listen to you."

She felt a faint yet soft smile cross her lips as his hand brushed along her cheek. Of their own accord, one of her hands lightly traced along his side, always keeping some sort of contact with the gryphon. Though her shoulders drooped a bit as she felt guilty all over again.
"I... will work on that." LW sighed, meaning it. "And I promise to come to you if I have another one." She added in a whisper, really wishing this would be the last but knowing that wouldn't be the case.
His kiss made her relax and she scooted closer to lean against her boilfriend. "Thank you, my heart." She murmured, leaning enough to press her lips against his cheek.
"I love you, too. Very much." Jack only knew how much she did.

It had been a while since they had been together, just the two of them. With life being as busy as it was, Ren had spent a great deal of time with Jove, with LW and Jove, with LW and Tybalt, with the Scario Kart Club, and really they had not had time to spend just as a couple, together.
Ren smiled, sliding his arms around LW's waist and rolling over so that she was laying on top of him, one hand drifting lazily up and down her back. "So," he said conversationally. "I think we need a vacation, hm? Just you and I, together, with no interruptions. Something fun and relaxing."
There was a pause.
"I won't even bring Jove along."
Another pause.
"I promise."
