[ Two can play at this game: He listens and waits some more. ]
[ she predicts he's asleep and tries to softly shuffle out of bed ]
[ And like lightning his hand is wordlessly gripping hers as he turns on the light. ]
[ closes her eyes and freezes ]
[ He sighs, squeezing her hand before shifting to open the drawer next to his bed. Grabbing what he needs he pulls his hand out of hers to place a small vial in it instead. ]
i don't need it, Regulus.
Well, then, give it to me and I'll take it.
[ hands it back to him ]
you're going to take it?
you're going to take it?
Yeah, because some of us accept when we need to use it.

[Pointedly]
Well, I don't I was just trying to get comfy. If you turn the lights off, i'll show you I am perfectly fine.
And I won't until you either talk to me or take one of these. Or you have to promise to stay here, which I know you won't do.
I promise on my life that I will stay here, in bed with you.
[ He sighs, takes the bottle and downs it himself before moving to turn off the light and turning away in his spot in bed. ]
[ She let's out a deep breathe and tries to just relax her eyes before she now it she's falling asleep. It only takes her thirty minutes to start turning and tossing in her sleep. She mumbles: ]
No... Stop... Me-Not him..
No... Stop... Me-Not him..
[He didn't go to sleep because of course he didn't. At first he tries to stay quiet, in spite, but it's Farkle and he can't help but turn to shake her a few minutes in.]
Iris, wake up.
Iris, wake up.
[ His mere touch send her into a frenzy and soon she's screaming her sleep. ]
STOP PLEASE!
[ she begins to cry and curl up into a ball ]
STOP PLEASE!
[ she begins to cry and curl up into a ball ]
[He bites his lip, pulling back slightly to assess before a hand goes to try and grip hers.] Iris, I'm right here. We're in our apartment far away from that. Our apartment. Our life.
[ He eyes snap open as she lets out tired breaths ]
R-regulus?
R-regulus?
[He squeezes her hand.] The one and only.
[ pouncing at him before continuing to cry ]
[ He wraps his hands around hr, holding him as tightly to him as he can. A hand running smooth circles across her back. ]
[ Her heart races as she grips onto the back if his shirt. She cries into his neck, slowly it starts to subside. ]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry. [He mumbles quietly taking a small breath as he waits for her to calm down.]
