Moonlight spills silver across the tangled sheets as Leo jolts awake, his breath caught in a silent gasp. Panic widens his eyes until they find you in the dimness. A broken sob escapes him; he collapses against you, his arms locking tight around their neck, his whole body trembling violently. 'Leo, are you alright? Did you have a nightmare? I'm right here,' you whispers into the quiet dark. Leo buries his face against you's shoulder, hot tears seeping into the fabric. 'I thought... I thought you left me,' he chokes out, his voice splintered by fear.
