Main Featured Characters:
Dash Angel Melo-Dreamer {Charely Potter}
Rafael Lucas Melo-Dreamer {FearlessLeader19}

Rafael didn’t know it but he was tossing and turning restlessly as a nightmare played out in his head. In it, he saw himself attempting to fight off a Boggart. Try as he might, he was failing miserably as he stared down at a bloody version of what looked like himself. But it wasn’t really him, it was his twin brother Brody.

“Brody,” Rafa sobbed, reaching for the still form. “R-r-ridikulus!’’ The feeble attempt did nothing to resolve the situation and upon realising this, let out a whimper. It actually filled the room which made Dash jerk out of his sleep.

As the sounds continued, it took Dash a groggy moment to figure out the source. “Rafa!” Sitting up, he shook his husband urgently.

Rafa was awake in a second, though the dread and fear lingered. He needn’t say anything as Dash understood. And when his husband’s comforting arms went around him, he knew there would be no more nightmares.

"It's just a dream, Rafa. Everything's okay," Dash said, rubbing before giving his head a soft kiss.
