LOCATION: Brian and Evan's Apartment

TIME: 12:38 A.M.

Evan woke with a start, groping at the spot on the bed beside him, immediately alert as his palm swiped across the cold sheets. He turned to the left, making eye contact with the digital clock. Half-past midnight.

"Brian?" He called into the room, expecting an answer from the bathroom or even down the hall, only was met with complete silence. "Brian! Where are you?" He staggered out of bed, blindly reaching for the light switch, but it revealed nothing that he didn't already know. The room was empty; Brian wasn't anywhere.

"This isn't funny, Brian. You know how I am." Evan stumbled into the hallway, swallowing a panic attack he'd inevitably have to face. "Brian, I'm serious." His phone was suddenly in his hand, the flashlight on as he continued walking, still not hearing any answer to his calls. "Brian?" He reached the light switches, flicking all of them on and collapsing to the floor.

Evan was hyperventilating as he realized that he was alone in the apartment. "Brian, its really not funny." He choked out the words, holding back his sobs.

There was a knock at the door.

His blood ran cold as he scrambled backward, his cloudy gaze fixated on the door. Another knock. And another one.

Suddenly the knocking turned into a violent pounding. He shoved a hand over his mouth, fully in panic mode.

"Evan."

He flinched back, pressing himself against the wall as he looked around for the source of the voice. The pounding at the door continued and he let his hand fall away.

"Evan!"

A sob escaped him- he couldn't breathe.

"Evan, wake up!"

He woke with a start, gasping and frantically searching the room, confused.

"Ev, it's okay. I'm right here." He turned, seeing Brian right beside him, holding his arm carefully, worried about him. Evan was still hyperventilating, but allowed Brian to pull him into a hug, securely holding him in place. "It's not real, Ev. None of it is real. You're okay. We're okay. You're safe here."

"Thanks." Evan mumbled into Brian's chest, feeling a lot better already. "I'm sorry-"

"Don't be. It's not your fault, Ev. Not your fault at all. Come on, let's lay down, okay? We don't have to go back to sleep, but let's stay warm, okay?" Evan nodded against his chest. "You wanna talk about it?" He shook his head. "Okay, that's alright. You don't have to."

Brian gently brought them down so that they were lying down, Evan still pressed against him. Softly, he carded his fingers through his boyfriend's hair, hyperaware of his heartbeat as it slowed down from the elevated pace it had gained when Evan wasn't asleep. Usually, he woke up to Evan tossing and turning, and he waited until his boyfriend started to get frantic- which pained him to no end, but it was easier to calm Evan down that way- and wake him up by calling his name and touching only his arm so as not to startle him.

Even though he usually slept perfectly fine otherwise, it scared him to see Evan so frightened. His wide eyes, the sense of complete panic, and the surprise in his eyes when he finally looks at Brian- like he didn't think he was actually there. To see him so unlike himself, that was the scariest part of the night.

"I love you." Evan mumbled into his chest as he drifted off to sleep.

"I love you, too, Ev."
