Simon has nightmares. They're there from the first night they sleep together-not just fuck, but actually stay in the same bed until morning-and Jayne has no idea what to do about them. Simon's the one who's good at all that sensitive feelings shit, not him. But it's impossible to watch him, his dark hair stuck to his forehead with sweat, small, gut wrenching whimpers slipping between twisted lips, his body curling in on itself like a child's...It's impossible to watch and not want to do something. Sometimes Jayne wakes him, restraining him with strong hands when he jerks up, wild eyed and disoriented. Other times he can change the nightmares into something more pleasant. The right touch, a stroke or a squeeze, and Simon's gasping for completely different reasons. The thing that makes him almost marvel-if he was the kind of man who marveled at things-is how sometimes, when he touches Simon in the middle of a nightmare, the other man will still, his breath evening out and his body slowly loosening until he's relaxed and pliable against Jayne's side.
First commenter gets to pick the next prompt! When requesting, please keep in mind that I try to keep these between 100-500 words. I don't mind going over occasionally, but the prompt should be something I can realistically fill within that limit. For a list of my fandoms, go here.
IMPORTANT: Because of classes, I'm several episodes behind on Criminal Minds and still haven't caught up yet. If you request something for Criminal Minds, PLEASE keep that in mind and keep the spoilers AWAY from my journal. Thanks!
