Tag snickered before leaning over to push him away. "Just go get ready for bed, will you? I want to cuddle!"

"Alright, alright," he laughed, shaking his head at her as he grabbed his bags and disappeared towards the bathroom. After a couple minutes, he returned in his pajamas, feeling cleaner than before.
"Better?" he smiled, wrapping his arms around her.

"Much," Tag replied before sighing. She settled into his arms, one hand resting on his chest, her head resting in the crook of his neck.

"Tired?" he asked, gently stroking her hair and quite relieved that he could spend the night without worrying about her housemates.

"Just a bit, yes," she informed him, though her voice gave away that she was much more tired than she let on. "You?"

"Exhausted," he sighed, leading her towards the bed so that they could both lie down.

Tag lifted up the covers and snuggled under them after turning out the light on her nightstand.

"Goodnight, my love," he smiled, putting his arm around her and kissing her on the forehead.

"Mmm... Night..." It seemed as soon as Tag laid her head down on her pillow, she fell asleep. And it seemed as soon as she fell asleep, she had the nightmare. It had become less frequent over the years, but it still popped up every now and again. And tonight was one of those nights.
She bolted upright into a sitting position upon waking, her chest heaving as it struggled to find breath. She felt like she should be coughing because of all the smoke in her dream.

Ryan shifted in his sleep as he felt the bed move, blinking his eyes open to see a very distraught Tag. He rubbed his eyes and grabbed his glasses before sitting and putting his arms around her.
"Hey," he said gently, hoping not to scare her. "It's alright, I'm here..." He knew her well enough that he didn't have to ask.

Tag had buried her face in her hands, but as soon as she felt arms around her, she grabbed one and held on. It always made her feel better quicker to know Specs was there, and he wasn't going anywhere.
She could feel the tears coming, though, and she knew she wouldn't be able to stop them.

Frowning, Specs pulled her in for a hug, gently squeezing her hand for comfort. "You're safe," he said quietly. "You're alright..."

Tag sniffed, feeling a tear fall down her cheeks. She still missed her family fiercely, and she didn't realize how upset she was about them missing her getting married, about them not even knowing Specs, about Specs not even knowing them.

Specs pulled back enough just to look at her face and wipe her tears away from her cheeks. He hated seeing her unhappy and crying, which is why dealing with her nightmares was always so difficult for him. There was nothing he could do with the ghosts of her past.
"I'm sure they're looking after you right now," he said comfortingly. "Or else you wouldn't have this many good things happening to you, right?"

Tag nodded, sniffing once more. "Of course, you're right," she said, her voice strained with emotion. "But it's just not the same as them actually being here, is it?"
