Nightmares

With the eventful day behind him, Burchard was able to sleep soundly in bed.... Until suddenly a crack of lightening sounds outside of his window and lightens his room in a blinding white light. He shoots up awake and sits there while breathing heavily and grasping at his chest. In a panic, he frantically looks around while muttering, "wha-wha what?"

Once he saw that he was in his own room, he was able to calm down, though a feeling of discomfort slowly grows within him as he starts rubbing his forehead while saying to himself, "a dream.... it was just a dream...."

With a hand on his chest, he gently rubs the center of it while continuing, "But why did it feel so real?"

With how many times it had happened, he wanted to figure out why it was happening. However, he wasn't able to think about it for long since he hears someone knocking at the door. Confused as to who it could be at this hour, he gets out of bed and walks up to the door while rubbing the rest of the sleep out of his eyes and says, "just a sec."

After turning on the doorway light, he opens the door but pauses with a look of confusion slowly taking him over while asking, "Yuzuru?"

Like he had said, Yuzuru was currently standing at his door wearing a tee shirt and pj pants that he could have sworn looked familiar to him. With a look of concern dotting her expression, she asks, "concern: are you okay? Yuzuru could hear you thrashing through the wall."

Surprised to hear this but most of all Feeling bad that he had woken her up, he starts to frown while replying, "sorry about that. And you don't need to worry, I 'm okay, just had a bad dream."

Though she got a reply, her concerned look remaining unchanged with her responding, "rebuttal: are you sure you're okay? It sounded to Yuzuru like you were quite terrified."

Shocked to hear this, he wanted to deny it, but the weight of her concerned gaze was to much for him and after sighing disheartedly, he tells her in a slightly saddened tone, "honestly.... I don't know, I keep having nightmares that cause me to wake up in a cold sweat and gasping from air."

With a look of worry entering her expression, she tells him, "Concern: Yuzuru knows, this wasn't the first time she heard you."

A bit surprised but most of all feeling bad about hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh disheartedly then tells her, "Sorry about that, ill try not to make as much noise for now on."

With the same look of worry dotting her expression, she tells him, "Rebuttal: you do not need to worry about waking Yuzuru. Though knowing that this is a recurring thing does concern her."

Wanting to reassure her, Burchard starts to smile at her while saying, "you don't need to worry about me. it might take some time but I'm sure ill get over it."

Though he was hoping for a different response, unfortunately for him, her look of worry remained unchanged and with a thought coming to mind, she asks, "Inquiry: would talking to Yuzuru about it make you feel better?"

A bit surprised to hear this, he asks while scratching the back of his head, "really? you'd listen to me?"

Again, he was surprised to see her look back at him with a reassuring smile while replying, "rebuttal: if it is to help you then Yuzuru wants to listen."

For some strange reason, Burchard felt happy to hear this but not wanting to keep her up any longer than, he simply smiled back at her while responding, "I really do appreciate that you would do that for me, but I don't want to keep you up any...."

Before he could finish his statement, he gets caught off guard by Yuzuru who grabs his hand then pulls him into his apartment while telling him, "Rebuttal: we do not have school tomorrow, therefore yuzuru isn't worried about staying up late."
