"Stop-" Morty was curled in on himself, shoulders hunched and trembling. The boy sobbed into the pillow, hands unconsciously scrambling for purchase yet finding none.

Eve blinked the sleep from his eye and glanced down towards his counterpart. Morty’s face was with flushed from his cries, the hitched breaths and the sharp-edged panic.

"I-it's not real, please-" Morty was babbling, voice muffled into the pillow below. "It's not-" It wasn't surprising to learn the boy was haunted with night-terrors, but Eve's heart cracked all the same.

He reached out to touch his counterparts shoulder. Gently, oh so gently, like he feared Morty would shatter apart from the touch alone.

Morty jerked awake, eyes snapping open in a panicked haze. He shrieked and scrambled backwards on reflex- jumping when his back brushed against the headboard.

"Hey, hey angel-" Eve hadn't even noticed how quickly his voice softened. "You're okay, its fine- you're with me-" Eve watched Morty’s eyes dart over, finally flickering with recognition.

Morty's expression crumpled once his gaze landed on Eve. A broken cry fell from his lips and he moved to bury himself in Eve's shoulder, body trembling with the sobs he was failing to repress. "I-I wanna stay here forever..."

He's happiest with me.
