Title: Dream Come False
Fandom: Buffy
Characters: Giles/Ethan
He wakes panting from a dream of sharp fangs slicing and terrifying eyes glowing in infinite darkness. His heart's beating madly but he's glad it's beating at all, and still he can't stop moaning.
Nightmare. Wet dream. Same thing. Same fear.
Teeth and blood and struggling to break free, thrashing under the monster that won't let go, the one with the familiar face and familiar chuckle, and familiar fist driving the air out of him.
The night is his time, but Ethan was never thrilled about the creatures he had to share it with.
The dream fades with the panic, and only one image remains, the face, the face above him, swooping closer for the kill. That and how his groin ached and how he arched towards instead of away. Ethan turns to his side and the bed is empty.
Barefoot and shirtless he pads along to the bathroom to find Ripper there, splashing cold water on his face. He slinks behind his lover and meets his eyes in the mirror when he looks up.
"Had a bad dream," Ripper says.
Ethan shivers.
"Come back to bed," he says, but Ripper stays for a long moment to study his reflection, before turning away after Ethan, shutting the light behind him.
