John awoke with a start heart pounding, head hurting and his breathing laboured. He’d had the dream again. The same one that seemed to like haunting him. He’d killed a man. It wouldn’t affect him so much except that when he woke up he could still feel his arm around the man’s neck, feel the last breath he took as John literally squeezed the life out of him.
He’d had to do it to save his mom, but on top of everything with Cameron in the real world and the knowledge that he was destined to save mankind in his dream world things were beginning to really get to John.
He scrubbed a hand over his face and forced himself to attempt to breathe normally.
"Want some water?" Glimmer chipped in as she handed him a cup. She knew she should be sleeping but she had been watching him sleep. His dreams had been restless and troubled judging from the amount of flailing he had been doing.
"Want to talk about it or shouldn't I ask?"
He took the water with a small rueful smile and downed it before setting the glass on the bedside table. “Sorry babe, I didn’t mean to wake you” he told her shaking his head, “I’m not going to burden you with more of my crap” He knew her own dreams were no walk in the park and really much worse compared to his. Instead he wrapped his arms around her and sighed into her hair. “I swear it’s this damn house”
“You’re not burdening me, John.” She told him as she snuggled a bit closer to him. “What’s that bullshit line people always throw at you when they want you to believe that? A burden shared is only half a burden or something like that.” Something she would consider rubbish usually but this wasn’t a typical situation and it really didn’t help to keep things like that in.
“Then why stay here if you don’t want to be here?”
"Something like that" John murmured, his hand idly rubbing up and down her arm, "It just seems stupid, I mean I'm supposed to be this great leader of mankind but I can't sleep because of stupid nightmares"
He'd wondered that himself but there was the slight issue of his deactivated sister in the basement. "I don't know. Nostalgia?" he tried to joke though it fell flat.
She shrugged her slender shoulders. “We’re all not as awesome as our dream counterparts,” she joked flatly. She knew how that felt when her alter ego was a fighting machine but she wasn’t supposed to save the world either. “Besides everyone has to have their kryptonite or something right?” That was how it worked right?
"Yeah ain't that the truth" he sighed, rubbing his face against her. "I don't think I'm quite as good as superman" he said, "Appreciate the sentiment though"
She gave him a skeptical look, “Well I was never a very big fan of Superman so you’re in luck. I mean what self-respecting man wants to wear tights and a cape? So not attractive.” She told him lightly trying to make him feel a little better.
John gave her a grin, her efforts were appreciated, "Good job I'm not into capes or tights then" he replied, "Besides Lois Lane isn't half as appealing as you are"
She had to laugh at his crack. “Good because if you were I would have kicked you to the curb a long time ago. No one should wear capes and if anyone is going to wear tights then it should be me.” That was one fashion for men she never got. If someone was going to save the world they shouldn’t look like an idiot doing it. “What can I say? I’m pretty amazing.”
"You definitely have the legs for them" he told her, sliding his hand over her thigh and down her leg before back up again.
"Definitely amazing" he agreed placing a kiss on her lips.
“Now you’re just sweet talking me,” Glimmer teased as she cuddled close to him soaking in the warmth that radiated off his body. Sure the dreams were terrible but at least there was a better reality that they lived in most of the time.
She nodded in agreement as she returned his kiss affectionately.
“Mmm” he hummed against her lips, “Maybe a little. Is it working?” he asked as he pulled back slightly, hand moving up and around her thigh.
"I don't know, I'll get back to you on that in a moment or two," she teased lightly as she whispered against his lips; knowing all to well it was working.
“Do let me know” he told her before plundering her lips again, rolling over slightly as he slid his hand up to squeeze her ass.
Glimmer gave him a wicked grin at the feel of his hand working slowly up her body. "Hm, getting a little warmer..." It was playful and she liked the attention. It was better than focusing on their not so pleasant dreams.
“Mmm getting close?” he asked her, as he slid his hand up and around to trace patterns on her inner thigh close enough to feel the heat from her body but not touching her anywhere else yet.
"Maybe..." She told him with a grin as she shifted her position slightly to a more favorable one. "Let me guess, this is the only way to make you feel better too?"
He smiled at her as he settled his hand over her core through her panties, “Maybe not only but a pretty damn enjoyable way, for both of us I think”
“You do have a point there,” Glimmer agreed as she gave him a sly smile enjoying it every bit as much as he was. Her hands playing around with the hem of his t-shirt.
“Mmm I always have a point” he murmured kissing her neck as he moved closer, this was much better than dwelling on dreams.
