Thad threw himself away from the hands grabbing him. A strangled scream still burned in his throat. He practically

fell from his bed, trying desperately to get away from the claws attempting to grab at him and hold him down. He

batted at whoever was on him, punching and slapping.

"Hey! Hey! Stop! You had a bad dream, that's all. It's just me."

Thad finally opened his eyes and looked up into Jared's concerned gaze. Jared held Thad's hands back by his wrists.

Jared's face twisted into an expression of sympathy and, yes, fear. "It's okay now. It was just a dream."

Thad looked around his little studio, as if seeing it for the first time. Edith sat at the edge of the bed, watching him.

The TV--now playing a rerun of Roseanne--squawked softly. Pale gray light outside told him it was late afternoon.

He forced himself to breathe regularly and to swallow.

He looked again at Jared who now smiled kindly at him. "Honey...you must have been having one hell of a

nightmare." Jared let go of Thad's wrists and drew him close to his bare chest. "I'm sorry if I made it any worse."

Thad still couldn't find the presence of mind to form words. He simply buried his face in Jared's chest, comforted by

the feel of his friend's strong hands stroking his hair and soothing him.

"I just let myself in. I hope that's okay. The door was unlocked. You were dead to the world, man, so I took the

liberty of just climbing in with you. Your snores knocked me out." Jared stopped stroking Thad's hair. "Until your

screaming woke me up."

Thad moved away and locked gazes with Jared. "Sorry."

"No. No, it's okay. I'm glad I was here."

Thad let himself recline on his pillow once more and Jared did the same, both on their backs. "For a while," Jared

said, "It was kind of hot. You were moaning and it definitely didn't sound like a nightmare." He chuckled. "You were pushing your ass up against my crotch."

Thad reddened. "Are you naked?"

"Nah. I have my boxers on. But much more of those moves and I gotta tell you, I might have taken 'em off, sleep or

no sleep. There's only so much a man can take."

Thad thought the appropriate response right now would be to laugh, but the remains of the nightmare still clung to

him, like clammy hands trying to pull him back down. "Jesus."

"And then there was a shift. You tightened up and the screaming started."

"Thank you for being here, buddy." Thad turned to look at Jared.

"No prob. What was the dream about, anyway?"

Thad closed his eyes and the dream images rose up to assault him. He hoped they would disappear quickly, but right

now felt as though they would stay with him for a long, long time. "I don't want to talk about it."
