Safe, warm, quiet, the smell of heat and wood, a firm presence against his back, the soft puff of breath at the base of his neck. All the familiar things of being home, in his bed, in his time. Normally this was enough to settle him in the evenings and lull him to sleep, but as of late Sam found it becoming harder and harder to find rest, his dreams immediately feeding off his memories of his time in the future, repeating over and over and over. They kept him awake, laying there quietly and trying to listen and feel the things around him instead until exhaustion pulled the blanket of sleep over him.

Sometimes he could sleep through the night, other times it was a struggle to stay asleep. Tonight was one of those nights, the restless ones, muttering and tossing in his sleep until his eyes shot open with a breath. Thankfully this time he had not shot up into a sitting position. There was still the heavy breathing and cold sweat on his brow though, which ultimately forced him to remove himself from his current position to take a seat at the edge of the bed, rubbing his face tiredly and with frustration.

Another dream. Another nightmare.

It wasn't hard to fall into the press of kisses and the weight of Samouel, to let the other move him as he saw fit and take what position he pleased. He had always been that sort of lover, and wanted nothing but what would give Sam pleasure. Or, in this case, relief. He knew, more intimately than Samouel might know, how much something like this might be needed to soothe the soul.

Slowly his hands wandered across the shoulders and back he knew so well, gliding down to grasp his thighs and knead them. He met Sam's pace and did not ask for more, letting out soft, quiet sounds of pleasure as they kissed in a way they had not since their first night together. He pulled back for air, sucking at Sam's lower lip gently before nuzzling at him, pliant to his wishes.
