He rubbed tenderly at it before wincing as the memory crosses over him. He clenched his eyes shut and breathed deeply, his hands clutching tightly to the rim of the sink.

Victor tried to keep calm, feeling bile race up his throat. He shuddered, forcing it down. He slowly eased himself onto the floor, taking deep breaths. He needed to relax and keep calm. He needed to ground himself. His hand went to his pocket where he held a small capsule of lemon juice. He poured it into his mouth and he shuddered faintly, slowly easing now that he felt grounded. He took deep breaths and leaned his head back.

After a moment he felt himself ease before he stood shakily and exits the bathroom. He goes into the kitchen and takes a few sips of water, his eyes shutting.

Jared looked up when he heard Victor go into the kitchen. He got up, walking over. "Hey. Uhm…" He saw the way Victor was behaving. "Are you… alright?"

@Vuclan-is-tired

Victor finished his water before glancing over at Jared. "Yes… I'll be alright. Thank you." He smiled kindly before finishing off his water and refilling it.

Jared had shown Victor to the room that the bodyguard could use. It was next door to Jared's own, and was rather simply furnished, though Victor could of course personalize it if he wanted to. Then, after a while longer of reading, Jared had finally, finally gone to sleep. Now, though, he was crying, thrashing and letting out sounds that were half screams, half sobs, his breath ragged in his throat.

Victor rarely slept. It was more of a leisure to him. He learned ways to stay awake for hours at a time. He bolted up when he heard someone screaming and raced into Jared's room. He hurries to the others side. He knew the other might hurt himself through all the thrashing. He gently took the others hand, cupping his face to still him. "Jared. You're dreaming. Focus on my voice. Pull yourself out." His voice was gentle but stern. Usually if someone were to have a nightmare, the regulation was to leave them. But thrashing was an exception.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Jared whimpered a little bit, still thrashing and fighting. Because in his sleep he was always fighting. He was always trapped again, tied down and unable to fight back no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he cried and begged and they didn't ever stop, no one ever stopped even for a minute.

He took a deep breath before gently clutching Jared's face. "I need you to wake up…" He mutters. He looked around desperately for something that could wake him up. "Jared… Wake up…" He looked nervous.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Jared's eyes flashed open, wide and scared and not seeming to quite recognize Victor. His chest was heaving with ragged, sobbing breaths, tears still streaking from his eyes as he stared at the taller male.

@Vuclan-is-tired

He gently pulled back before sitting on the edge of Jared's bed. "Where are you?" He asks gently, not touching the male, knowing some people didn't like it. "And take this." He hands the other his lemon juice, a comforting look in his eyes.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Jared's hands were shaking as he took the juice, staring at Victor. He swallowed, biting his lip and then taking a drink. "I-I…" he trailed off, shaking his head a little bit.

@Vuclan-is-tired

He gazed at the other. "It's okay. You're at home, you're safe." He assures gently. "It's alright." He offered Jared a gentle smile. "What do you need? Do you want me to stay in here?"
