Sleeping together.

[semimeme]

It's that damn plurk meme. Sort of.

This is the Sleeping Meme. Plain and simple, your character is sleeping with another one. While sharing a bed and sleeping together with someone is very intimate, smut is not necessary.
 

What do:
1) Post with your character. Name and canon go in the subject line.
2) Include your preferences.
3) Tag around.
4) If you tag, pick a letter from A-H according to the diagram above. Ta-da. That's the position the characters are sleeping in.
5) That's it.

"I--I wish I believed that."

The words were muffled as Fitz presses closer, trying to relax; trying to calm down especially as Mack starts to touch him so gently and affectionately but it's hard too. He feels trapped in the sense that he'll never stop having the nightmares. That he'll never be able to completely get over what happened and he hates it. Fitz knows that he's okay; that he and Jemma survived and that things were getting better.

But it was hard to shake the fear that it was going to happen again.

"Mack.." the scientist whimpers almost, shaking his head as his shoulders shake. "I..I hate this. I hate this so much."

With Mack’s help he’ll believe it in time. A little damage to the brain hasn’t made Fitz weaker and the mechanic would convince of that, would help him become unafraid of the nightmares that persisted to haunt him at night. But for now, he has to protect and calm Fitz, first, hugging him even closer, both arms around him to engulf the smaller man in the heat of Mack’s body.

“Shhh… I know you hate it, Turbo, I know you do, but it’s going to take time to overcome and I’ll be with you every step of the way. How’s that sound?” When Mack does move, it’s merely to press his forehead to the top of Fitz’s head, still playing with his brown, coiled hair. “But first, I need you to relax, alright? Nothing’s going to get you while you’re with me. Just breathe,” he instructs softly.

He doesn’t like seeing his friend like this and if it means he misses out on the rest of his sleep to help Fitz through the night, so be it.

There was something so beyond comforting about the way he could just get engulfed in Mack's embrace; Fitz honestly would never get tired of it. He'd never felt as safe as he did when he was around the other and it was a feeling he didn't want to lose ever.

His hands, even the one that doesn't work quite as well, manage to clench tightly in Mack's shirt and he absorbs what the other is saying as he presses his face into the other's shoulder now.

"I..right. Yeah, I know. I know," he murmured, forcing himself to try and take a deep breath and while it was shaky, he did manage to do it--once, then another time, and then a third time.

The fact that Fitz believed he was safe with Mack made his lips quirk into a short smile, though, he must’ve known that before when Fitz first showed up at his door earlier that night. “Good, good. Keep on breathing just like that until you’re relaxed. Deep breaths.” Mack continued to encourage gently. Not that he needed it, but it felt like therapy for himself.

He allowed his eyes to shut for the moment, just listening to the shaky breaths the little guy took. He’d be fine and Mack would do this every night until Fitz no longer needed it. For now though, he was going to enjoy the company while he had it.
