A frown disrupting the peaceful expression that had been resting on his face, Sebastian turned and looked her over with worried eyes. What…..?

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Memories faded in and out of her sleep, some good, some not. The one that had disrupted her sleep was one that was from a few years ago, when she had been walking through the alley…

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Devon suddenly shot up with a gasp, exclaiming, “No!” She shook a little as she rubbed at her face, groaning softly.

You’re okay… You’re okay… You’re okay…

@blue_topaz

"Devon??" Sebastian sat bolt upright, worried eyes searching her face for any telltale signs to point him in the direction of what had happened.

@blue_topaz

“No, you’re not.” Sebastian wanted to do nothing but hug Devon to his chest, but he knew that he might cause more harm in the process. “Breathe… Focus on my voice. Just breathe deeply, try to calm down.”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Devon nodded slowly, taking his advice and letting her breathing deepen and slow down. She focused as much of her attention on his words as she could, everything else being on breathing and trying to ignore the memories flashing through her mind. She trembled slightly as she took another deep breath.

Devon shook her head and pulled her face away from her knees, only to bring her hands up to it and rub her eyes.

“Just… a bad dream… Nightmare-ish memory,” she whispered.

@blue_topaz

Sebastian got up, almost stumbling over himself in his haste to get to the kitchen. He returned quickly, offering her the glass.

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Devon nodded and took the glass with a mumbled, “Thank you.” After a few sips, she had calmed down enough that she was no longer shaking, and she could actually look at Sebastian now.

Devon let out a small breath and closed her eyes. Had anyone else touched her at that moment, she would have flinched and pulled away. There was something about him, though, that was comforting… She didn’t know what it was, but she was extremely grateful for it.

“Thank you,” she breathed, opening her eyes and looking up into his glittering caramel ones.

(I feel like my description of his eyes is so… blah…)

Devon gave him a small, wavering smile and squeezed his hand back. "You've been such a good friend," she said softly, her gaze flickering over his face.
