strange bedfellows

Another quick lil #SuntanWeek2023 oneshot! Day 4: sharing a bed.

Kel startles awake to the sound of Sunny… yipping, almost? Sharp, strained little yelps, like a dog that’s being kicked. His breaths come in short little gasps and his eyelids twitch wildly, like his remaining eye is trying to fight its way out. Shit. Sleep paralysis again. It’s been happening more often lately.

“Sunny,” Kel mumbles, grabbing his shoulder and shaking it (which feels a little mean, but it’s what Sunny says works fastest). “Hey. Hey. Sunny.”

Sunny comes awake with a jerk. His eye is clouded, like he’s still looking at something Kel can’t see. He doesn't wear an eyepatch to bed, just the spacer, so his empty socket is a vague beige hole and he’s panting, short panicked breaths like a dog left too long in a hot car.

“M–Mari,” he gasps.

That wakes Kel up. “Sunny,” he says firmly. “You were dreaming.”

“No, she—” He can’t catch his breath for long enough to get the words out.

“Hey. Hey. You’re okay, okay? You’re okay, I’m right here.” Sunny’s eye still won’t focus so Kel shoves into his space a little, pressing his forehead against Sunny’s hard enough to hurt. “Hey. Hey, can you breathe for me? Can you try to match my breaths?”

It takes a few minutes, but Sunny’s breaths start to slow. Kel’s squeezing him so tight that he can feel Sunny’s pulse under his palms, still too fast but steadily slowing.

At last, Sunny seems to see him. “Is this real?”

“Definitely.”

“Is, hhh, is— Am I– You have to tell me if I’m dreaming or else it isn’t—”

“You’re awake, Sun, I swear. Look,” and Kel pinches himself hard in the arm. “...Ow. See?”

Sunny stares. “That just means you’re awake,” he says eventually.
