Happy Holidays [Backdated, Private to Righteous_Pen]

[As a child, A had never been too fond of Christmas. It seemed a bit pointless, and the nuns at her first orphanage always made it so serious and boring

[Teru's not smiling, in his dreams. They're full of shadows, emptiness following him, Kira, who pulls him close to show a fire in the palm of his hand. For some reason Kira doesn't look like Yagami Light in this dream, he's taller and darker and his face isn't quite clear, and he licks Teru's cheek and presses the burning hand to his throat and that's when Teru wakes up, with a start.]

...Angela?

[A's still sleeping in the living room, so she doesn't hear Teru call out her name. But she does wake up, still a little fuzzy, and she wanders into their room sleepily.]

Morning...
[She notices that he looks...upset, sweaty. That gets her up immediately and shes right by his side in an instant.]

Teru, are you ok...? What happened?

[righteous_pen]

Just - dreams. It's nothing.

[Nothing he doesn't dream about a lot, anyway.]

Why were you sleeping in there?

[always_ashes]

Do you wanna talk about it....?

[She smiles a little bit.]
I was up late wrapping some things, I didn't want to wake you up.

Happy Christmas, love.
