A man provides care for his younger lover after his nightmares, but one night of watching him suffer is one too much. The young man is so private, so withdrawn, so tortured, and it hurts to see him hurt. So he decides he must know his secrets, to draw them out, no matter how horrible they might be, or what it might do to them.
More relationship-amidst-secret-eldritch-horror stuff. I really liked doing this one.
You look so weak and fragile
You seem to drip and sway
But you swept the Earth into your arms
And carried me away
--"Living Bad Dreams," Judas Priest
