Presto rubbed his face as he stepped out of the car and headed for the door of Erin’s work. It was time to go home, and he had heard from her that she had fallen asleep again. The broken sleep they had been having due to nightmares was not helping either of them. He felt a little ragged, but after some soda and spending some time making some hot sandwiches for them, he felt awake and able to drive and get them home. Getting to where he had said he would meet her, he stopped and breathed out, and let his hands spin a little practicing a particular spell he knew for backup, a teleportation spell.
Just in case.
***
Sleep was not a thing lately and though Erin wanted to just skip work so she could sleep all day, she pushed through. She couldn’t, though. Not with Jefferson not being himself. The shop could run itself so she had to be the one to do it. So much for enjoying her spring break.
It was at the end of the work day and Erin felt like a zombie was she cleaned up and closed the register. She’d fallen asleep during her lunch break and had only woken up because a customer came in. She was more than ready to go home at the end of the day and was happy to be locking the door behind her.
“I’m so tired” She whined to her boyfriend as she walked over to him.
***
Presto hated these nightmares. A lot. They both seemed to have them. He didn’t like seeing her so drug down by them. He hated it when weird things hurt her, in any way.
Presto hugged her and smiled softly. She looked whipped. “I know. Maybe we should see a doctor and see if anyone can help?” He didn’t like this at all. And he felt bad as his own nightmares woke him up every hour or so. He had begin to cast a silence spell on himself every night, so as to not wake Erin up with his screams. She needed what sleep she could get.
“Come on, let's go home.”

“It’s probably a dome thing” She told him as she reached out to hug him in return. She rested her chin on his shoulder for a moment then she pulled away. “I’ve never really had nightmares like this before. Or ever. I’m sure this will be over soon enough” She told him as she pulled back and grabbed his hand so they could leave together. “I feel you every time you wake up, you know. I think yours are worse than mine” She told him with a frown, laying her head on his shoulder as they walked together.
***
“Probably. I don’t like it, not at all.” He smiled softly to her. Holding her was nice, really nice. Soon enough, they walked onward, and he found himself wishing he could solve this again. He loved this woman, and he hated seeing her so unhappy.
He winced a little. “Sorry. I try not to make any noise or shake the bed too much when they wake me.” He sighed, drinking in her scent and just her presence, and relaxing. She could always make him feel better.
“I dunno. I figure everyone has their own nightmares, their own darknesses, you know? This is just mine, and yours is yours. Neither is really worse than the other, because we each have our own.”
***
“I don’t either. I wanna go back to not dreaming at all” She replied with a frown. She used to be a person that never remembered her dreams but now the remember every single detail. It was tiring and quite annoying. “You don’t have to be sorry. This whole thing is making me a light sleeper” She replied with a shrug of her shoulders as she reached up move some wind swept hair out of her face while her head still laid on his shoulder. “That’s almost poetic” She commented after listening to what he said.
***
Presto nodded again. “I wish we could too, now. Maybe soon?” These things usually only lasted a week or so, and it had been a good three or four days, right? Presto squinted as he tried to remember which one it was. Then he shook his head.
He smiled as he hugged her. “I love you, sexy lips.”
***
“Maybe” She replied with a shrug of her shoulders as she lifted her head up because it was getting awkward to walk like that with him. She would settle for just holding his hand or stopping for a hug, as they had done just now. She had never been much of a hugger but he change that, just like he has changed a lot in her. Meeting him has definitely made her a better person. “Love you too, cute butt” She replied, reaching out to give his butt a light squeeze while she grinned over his shoulder.
***
He walked with her toward the car, and he smiled softly. She was one in a million, and bad weke or not, she still made him smile. And think naughty thoughts, too. He chuckled as he laughed and wiggled it for her when she called him that.
“Despite the shitty sleep, being with you make life a hell of a lot better.” As they got to the car, he opened the door for her, since he had the keys and all.
***
She laughed at the butt wiggle and hit it again before she moved away from him to get in the car. “Backatcha. Now let’s go home, eat, then pass out and hope we don’t dream tonight” She suggested as she put her seat belt on, yawning again as she did so. She’d never been so tired in her life.
***
Presto nodded as he slipped in and started up the car. “Sounds perfect to me. Got food cooking at home, and warmed up the bed even. Time to crash and pray for peaceful nights.’
He leaned over to kiss her, then drove them home.
