Yixin woke up in the middle of the night when he felt Atlas tossing and turning. He sat up and looked at him.
"Please believe in me for once."
Hearing that Yixin's heart clenched in pain. Atlas has been through so much that even when he sleeps he's scared no one will believe in him. Yixin woke him up gently and Atlas woke up startled and sat up.
He took a few breaths to calm down and felt Yixin pull him in his arms. He held onto him and closed his eyes. When his heartbeat slowed down he looked up at Yixin. He caressed his head and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Atlas pulled back and said:
"I am I don't think the nightmare will ever stop."
