Nightmare and nightscares

[Cohabitation is pretty awesome, and Skye has to admit to many advantages. There are downsides, disagreements that come from personalities that click but still manage to be very different. Skye's goal since escaping the prison hell had been to get Loki to loosen up and enjoy himself without dragging around so much baggage. Sometimes, she managed. Sometimes, the night was spent in awkward silent that Skye always broke because awkward silences were awkward and who had time for those?
The latter happens more rarely.
One of the many benefits is having someone to sleep next to. Now, when she crawls into bed, it's usually to wrap her arm around Loki, rest her head on his chest, and close her eyes to sleep. Some would say a pillow is more comfortable than a firm chest, but some people were crazy anyway.
Skye wishes comfortable sleeping arrangements could translate to good dreams. Mostly, they are. Sometimes, the night is dreamless. It's nights in which everything that had happened in that horrible place comes back to haunt her that her dreams are worst.
The first outward sign of her unpleasant dreams is a light twitch, but as the horror escalates, so do the physical manifestations.]
Hnnn... [It's a loan moan of displeasure before she tries to roll away.] Stop! [In the dream, something sharp pierces her chest and she shoots awake, her body mirroring the image when she bolts upright in the bed. Sweat covers her body, and the chest that was, in fact, never pierced rises and falls with rapid breathes.]
