His head sank down into the pillow as she crawled into bed. It was an odd sensation, being so comfortable, so safe, and still being so on edge. A few minutes passed, and even the thought of sleep scared him.
He had pulled her closer, her steady breathing helping him relax some. He craved the familiarity he felt in her, the scent of hair, the slight numbness in his arm as she lay on it. It was all perfect. She was perfect. He knew how he should feel, and he did, but it all felt muffled to him, like hearing it from behind a thick door.
He stared at the ceiling for a long while, thoughts, people, and places running through his mind. Slowly but surely, he drifted into a semi-sound sleep. The nightmares were there, but so was she. Images of her on Serenno, on the balcony of New Alderaan. It was enough to hold on to.
He woke up every once in a while to a noise outside or even subtle changes in the room, it was all enough to make him jump but he calmed down eventually.
The night wasn't easy, but he made it through because of her.
