-Wakes up confused

-Says "What, what? What's wrong?"

-Asks you what exactly the nightmare was about, listens and nods

-Says, "Wow. That sounds really scary...but kind of cool too, actually, like a movie"

-Gets up and makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the both of you and suggests playing a game to get your mind off it

-He wakes you up because you are crying out in your sleep

-He tells you he has these sorts of dreams all the time

-Puts his arm around you and tells you to relax

-He promises he'll stay awake all night and sit by your side

-Holds you close and cuddles you

-Tells you to shhhh in a soft, soothing voice

-Tells you it's not real, over and over again

-You fall asleep again with his arms around you

-He wakes up fully and asks what happened in the dream

-You tell him, tearfully

-He goes "Hm. I remember something about this in my psychology class"

-He starts discussing at length how the brain processes information

-You smile because you're not scared anymore, and go back to sleep listening to him talk

-Is mean and decides to scare you even more

-Says "Frightened, my child?" in a creepy voice and starts running his cold fingers up your spine

-When you scream in total terror he realizes he went too far

-He gives you a smacking kiss on the top of your head and tells you to go back to sleep

-"Like anything could happen with ME here, you're safe!"

-When you scream, he sits up and immediately switches on the light

-Says, "What the hell?"

-You instantly feel better just looking at him rubbing his eyes

-You tell him you had a bad dream

-He says, "Oh, one of those," and switches off the light again

-He tells you that bad dreams are a Zoldyck family trait and that it is helpful to count backwards from 100 after you have one

-Is very startled when you cry out, but composes himself quickly

-When you describe the nightmare to him, he visibly stiffens

-You say, "What's the matter?"

-He grabs a thick book off the shelf and starts paging through it

-"This is some sort of ancient prophecy," he says. "It could be a bad sign of something"

-When you scream, he doesn't jump up, just opens his eyes wide and lays perfectly still

-Once he realizes nobody else is in the room, he sits up

-Asks you what's the matter

-You tell him you are too afraid to go to sleep again

-He rolls his eyes, pulls his sword out from under the bed, and shows it to you

-He does give you a little reassuring kiss before lying back down and going to sleep

-He sleeps like a rock, not even your nightmare wakes him up

-You shake him awake in a panic

-He's like, "What? WTF"

-Is instantly sympathetic when you tell him you had a bad dream

-Says don't bother telling him what it's about, let's think about something else

-He hums a happy-sounding song to you to put you back to sleep
