[Leon is exhausted. He's always exhausted. So, once he's asleep, he slips into a deep sleep. The slight jostling isn't enough to wake him and Zack is careful not to wake him. As the bed dips when Zack gets in beside him, Leon ends up curling against him, loosely draping his arm across his chest.
And he's good like this for a few hours, heavy, even breaths falling into a kind of rhythm with Zack's as they both sleep peacefully.
But his dreams are starting to turn nasty like they always do. His fingers twitch against Zack's chest as his breath catches and then speeds up for a moment before he goes quiet again. He makes a quiet noise, close to a whimper.
His dream is realistic, they always are. He and Zack are still watching TV when it suddenly flickers out and seconds later the power as a whole goes out. Zack says something about how he'll keep him safe, leaning closer to kiss him. Leon chuckles until he feels pain burn through his shoulder. Shoving Zack, the man has changed, eyes blank and glassy, the veins in his face black as he opens his mouth wider than he should be able to, lunging at Leon.
With an abrupt cry, Leon wakes up, his hair plastered to his forehead in a cold sweat, eyes wide in the darkness, scrambling to get away, his heart beating loudly, breathing rapid.
