No!

I jolt up, opening my eyes. It's hard to breathe, it's so dark. I look around frantically. The door is pushed open and a dim light from the hall gives light to the room.

I remember where I am. I'm not home.

My breathing doesn't stable. Peter rushes towards me on the bed and wraps his arms around me.

"Hey, hey, hey, It's okay, it's just a nightmare, it's not real." He tries reassuring me and I feel tears forming in my eyes. A sob escapes from my mouth.

Sudden fragments of the dream cross my mind as it all comes back to me.

"Except it is." I say in between breaths.

Tony.

Natasha.

Vision.

Loki.

We stay like this for a while. He doesn't remove his arms from around me and neither do I, not until I'm ready.

"I like this, hugging I mean. I wouldn't mind if it's something we do more of." I say before releasing him and wiping the tears from my face with my palm.

"Are you going to be okay?" He says looking down at me concerned. I simply nod and look away.

He slowly gets up and I tuck myself back under the bed sheets. I hear his footsteps come to a stop, only for a few seconds, then the door shuts.
