Till POV:

Till woke up, stretching his limbs as he mopes out of bed yawning. He blinked, trying to get used to the light in the hallway as he slowly shuffled to the kitchen, his eyes scanning until they landed on Ivan, who was turned away from him filling up a cup of water.

"Morn'in...," Till mumbles as he sits on a high top stool, leaning on the island.

Ivan perks up at the sound of Tills voice, turning around and smiling at him, placing his cup down.

"Good morning Till!" Ivan looked at the clock then back to him, "You're up early, how did you sleep?"

Till groans, his head hitting the table, "Fucking awful... can't sleep for too long."

Ivan turns his head a bit, looking at him confused.

"Why's that? You ok?"

Till sighs, hiding his face in his arms.

"It's not that serious."

Ivan sighs as leans over the table, tapping his arms.

"Till.. talk to meee," Ivan whined, starting to shake Till's arms.

Till's face turns red in anger, "Piss off! I don't have to tell you!"

Ivan however is persistent, continuing to pester him until Till finally gives in, burying his face in his arms again before mumbling fast.

"Ikeephavinganightmare."

"What was that?"

Till lifts his head which was fully red,

"I keep having a nightmare!" Till shouts, burying his face in his arms again, thoroughly embarrassed.

Ivan takes one of Till's hands, holding it in his as he smiles.

"About what?"

Till buries his face more into his arms, "You don't need to know everything!"

Ivan squeezes Tills hand, "But I want to. I want to help you."

Ivan watches as Till's body trembles, and he couldn't tell if he was crying or just that embarrassed.

"I keep having a nightmare about you."

"Ouch. I'm not that ugly am I?"

Till raises his head, Ivan now seeing that Tills eyes were a bit watery while also looking fully embarrassed.

"What? No! You're very handsome!"

Till didn't even realize what he said until the words were out of his mouth, seeing Ivan's smirk.

"Handsome you say?"

"Fuck off."

Ivan chuckles but then goes back to the subject.

"Till.."

Till looks at Ivan's face, seeing how soft Ivan's features looked when his name was whispered out of his mouth. He wanted to hear his name from his mouth forever if it made him feel this nice every time.

He then sighs and looks to the side.

"The nightmare was about our Round. You were.." Till couldn't even finish the sentence before taking a breath.

"That's all you're getting from me." Till retorts, glaring at the ground.

He felt hands cup his cheeks, him instantly leaning into the comforting touch, locking eyes with the man in front of him, he felt the thumbs of Ivan's hands rub soothing circles into the skin of his cheeks.

"I'm here, I am ok. I promise you."

Till nods, "I know that. It's just in my head, the sight of you-," Till shuddered at the memory, "I can't stop seeing it in my head"

Till's eyes got watery, his emotions finally getting the better of him, the only thing grounding him from spiraling was Ivan's soothing touch.

Ivan lets go of his face, making Till want to cry out for him to put his hands back on his face, to stay with him and to not leave him.

He watches as Ivan walks around the table to Till, pulling him up and into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry."

Till hugs back as tight as he can as he lets a few tears fall from his face, burying his face into Ivan's shirt.

He then felt himself get lifted off the ground, being carried to Ivan's room and laid down, Ivan laying next to him.

Till flushes a dark red, "What are you?-"

"Shh, relax and sleep, you need it. Our rescue mission is in two days and you'll need your rest."

Till sighed, knowing better than to argue with Ivan when he made his mind on Till's health, instead scooting closer and putting his hands on Ivan's chest, Ivan wrapping his arms around Till's middle, pulling him as close as he could.

Till felt his eyes start to droop, his breathing starting to even.

"Ivan?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For staying with me, caring for me, for not giving up on me." Till leans more into Ivan.

Ivan smiles and holds him tighter.

"How could I ever give up on you? You're my everything."

Till's stomach erupts in butterflies, face fully red before smiling at Ivan.

"You truly are the best aren't you?"

Till, in an act of boldness he didn't know he had, leans his head up and kisses Ivan's cheek before hiding his face in Ivans chest.

Ivan tenses, before holding Till tighter, kissing the top of his head.

"I love you Till."

Till snuggles into Ivan.

"Go to sleep."
