[honestly, with her there, and just natural transitions, eventually he was going to end up curled against her, his arm thrown over her protectively.

That... had to happen eventually.]

[ ann feels that in her sleep. it's nice. really nice. she doesn't move, but it's warm and honestly? she was afraid that she wouldn't get to experience this again, with how mako was acting.

but it's good. ]

[browbeater]

[GOOD. Unfortunately, the problems he was talking about strike, but much, much later.

It was nice, because he really isn't dreaming. Or wasn't. The images are slow at first, but he shows the growing anxiety on his face outside.

But it doesn't take long for the explosion (with the nice overlap of the sound of gunshots) to happen, and for him to shoot up straight, trying to catch his breath and get his heart rate under control.

It's... only 3 am.

[ladytakamaki]

[ it's that sudden movement that gets ann to stir a bit in her sleep. she wants to fall back asleep, but she can hear mako trying to catch his breath. it worries her, and she forces herself to wake up, slowly rising. ]

Mako? You okay?

[browbeater]

... Yeah, sorry.

[She's still here-- for which he's grateful, and a little worried. But... he feels much more alive than he did before.]

Just a dream.

[ladytakamaki]

I'm sorry.

[ she doesn't reach out to touch him, not sure if that's what he wants from her, but she's here. tired, but she's here. ]

Do you want some water?

[browbeater]

No-- you've got class tomorrow, right?

Go back to sleep.

[he offers a small smile, and reaches out to lightly run his hand through her hair.]

[ladytakamaki]

[ oh...is that an invitation? then, she's just going to carefully wrap her arms around him and lean her head on his shoulder. ]

Not until I know you're okay.
