    He never startles awake. His eyes open, he takes a deep breath, and then his body just wraps around you. That’s when you know. Nightmares aren’t a rare occurrence in your home. You’ve both seen horrible things, and sometimes those things like to stick.

    So, you do the only thing you can. You turn in his embrace, and run your fingers through his hair. It’s a small thing. A nothing, really. But it calms him.

    He leans into your touch, and snuggles closer. You continue running your fingers through his hair until his breathing evens out. Once that happens, you move your hand under his shirt, and run your nails lightly over his back. He arches like a cat under your touch, and his eyes drift close.

    You only stop once those small snores start to come.That’s your cue that he’s okay. He’s sleeping peacefully. You place a kiss on his chest, snuggle into his arms, and allow yourself to drift off.
