"It'll be alright, I'm here for you." //angst in the inbox, angelica to roland
God dammit, he hates that he can't remember the nightmares when he wakes from them. His eyes are watering, his throat feels like it's burning, and his limbs are all tensed up when he finally comes to himself. Roland groans quietly as he rubs at his forehead, already feeling the pain of fatigue coming back on...
A hand catches his arm. He's been around her long enough to know that it's Angelica, it's just her and nothing and nobody that intends him harm - and that's how he's able to refrain from snatching his arm away.
"It'll be alright," she murmurs, looking up at his softening eyes. "I'm here for you."
Roland feels his heart melt for her all over again. Slowly he slides back under the covers, reaching out to wrap his arms around her, pulling his beloved close. "You're awake too," he mumbles into Angelica's shoulder. "Everything okay?"
Her silence is a pretty clear answer.
"Yeah, that's what I thought. You know I'm here for you too, Ange. I'll always be here for you."
Roland stares at the empty spot in his bed.
