[ Yeah, yeah. He says that, but Kazuya can see him stumbling. It's always like this. Why is it always like this?

Hes such a good younger brother, he thinks, adjusting the sheets so that Naoya is under them rather than on top of them. It's the least he cam do.

Well, that and sit on the bed too, resting his back against the headboard so he can keep watch on him, just in case. He's... a little worried.

Just get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up.

[Yeah, yeah. Just a nap.

A nap which Kazuya eventually also falls victim too, because sitting around doing nothing isn't the most exciting thing in the world to do. Also the call of a warm bed is also alluring.

And unfortunately for Naoya, Kazuya is a sleep hugger, meaning he gets trapped by an arm holding him close, and he may or may not be slightly drooling onto his pillow.

Disgusting.

[ Unfortunately, Kazuya is a deep enough sleeper that he doesn't realize anything is wrong. He does, however, pull Naoya in and cling tighter at the small, rapid breaths he's giving. ]

[ He wakes up at that, but only just barely. Kazuya grunts, shuffling against him.

Naoya does not get released.
]

You stop. I'm trying to sleep.

[ It's the note of panic that wakes him up fully, and he more or less bolts upright in his own panic.

Is Naoya okay? Is the first thought he has, pulling his long gangly limbs to himself only to reach back out towards him and hover in concern.
]

What happened? Are you alright?

[ It clicks as to what's happening. He remembers episodes like this from when they were younger. Of Naoya waking up panting with his heart racing in the night, having a panic attack.

He remembers thinking it odd, when he was so young, checking it off as just him afraid of the dark.

It's definitely not that.

Kazuya pulls back more, giving Naoya the room he needs.
]

It's alright. You're safe, Naoya. You're not trapped.
belheir: (003)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-08 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[But it also doesn't feel great, to be the one who caused the panic attack to begin with.]

Do you want me to leave?
belheir: (003)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-08 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright. Naoya doesn't want him to leave, so he won't. He'll bring an arm up over his shoulder, letting it hang down his back. This way it's not trapping him, and he can move either left or right to escape, should he choose to.]

I know.

[He repeats again, ducking his head down against Naoya's.]
belheir: (003)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-08 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Naoya... It's alright.

[ He'd have rather gotten woken up than for his brother to suffer in silence anyway.

He pats his back, hopefully soothingly.
]

I'm more worried about you.

[ But... he also doesn't really know how to comfort Naoya properly. It's always been reversed, with Naoya comforting him more often than not. ]

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-08 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh, this is a moment they're having, but then he has to go and say that and make it weird. He's...

Going to actually resist saying something about it, and instead focus on him.
]

I'm going to worry about you because it's my job as your brother to worry.
belheir: (003)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-08 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't like to say it in public spaces, between the two of them, it's fine.]

Naoya... You're not alone anymore. You don't have to keep things to yourself and bear it all on your own. You can share your burdens, I'm not going to leave you.

[It's one of the reasons he'd bound himself to him, after all.]
belheir: (014)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-09 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't want that for Naoya. Any of it. He doesn't want him feeling trapped, either physically or in his dreams. He doesn't want him to have nightmares. ]

Then I'll figure something out. To help you stop having these dreams. We can dreamwalk here, right? So if I go into your dreams, maybe I can fix them.
belheir: (002)

[personal profile] belheir 2023-10-09 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be just fine.

[It's... dreamwalking, right? Wouldn't that entail him being asleep too? Or maybe not... Either way, he's determined now. Naoya has had these nightmares for as long as he can remember, which means that he's had them longer still.]

I'll ask some people around who've been here longer than me how to do it. They might know.
