Severus was running. He was running from something. What was it? It looked dark. Dark met the unknown. A lot of people ran from the unknown.

He was running. He kept running and running and running. Farther. Faster. Desperate to escape what was coming his way.

He woke up in a sweat. His chest felt tight as he panted, trying to remember where he was.

A cool hand touched his forehead. "It's okay, Sev."

"Harry," Severus rasped as he slowly sat up.

Now he remembered. He was in his home. In his bed with his two lovers.

He blinked. Well, at this point in time, one lover. "Draco?"

As if saying his name summoned him, the blond appeared with a vial.

Severus didn't have to ask. He gratefully took the Calming Draught, uncorked it, and drank it.

Draco gently pushed Severus back so he laid down again. He then rested his head on Severus' right shoulder. Harry laid down on Severus' left side, doing the same with his head on the left shoulder.

"Do you want to talk about your bad dream?" Harry asked even though he knew the answer. Asking was simply a formality.

Severus was like Harry when it came to nightmares. In their shared opinions, night terrors were better left unspoken about.

Severus wrapped both of his arms around his lovers. "No, it was just a dream."

A dream that might have become reality but didn't. He didn't die in the war. Harry and Draco worked together to save him. And now he had a good life with love and family.

He actually got a happy ending. If it wasn't for the nightmares, his life would be perfect.

He closed his eyes. Oh well. As long as he had Harry and Draco, he'd take the nightmares.
