Lately Gar had been having nightmares about you dying. It started after a mission gone wrong. You were hurt during it and Gar blamed himself.
In his dreams it was just you and him on the mission, and every time you got shot in the heart. He was never fast enough to save you.
One night he screamed so loud you ran into his room, asking if he was ok. Instead of answering with words, he hugged you.
"Can you stay?"
"Of course"
