the worst nightmares subside when he's by your side. the heady scent of his sweat on the pillow case helps, but it's not the same as having a warm body beside you breathing loudly and steadily. then even when the dark parts of your gray matter flare up, he's there to shush you and rock you back to sleep in his arms, to comfort you back to rest. his weight on the mattress pulling you just a little bit closer to him as you lull into unconscious flight without the fear of falling when he is there to catch you.
Yes. This.
