Sampo doesn't know how he managed to fall asleep that night or remember even closing his eyes. One second He was staring at the ceiling, consumed by the dread pooling in his stomach and the impossible desire to keep Gepard safe and to himself as he listened to his quiet breathing in the other room, then he was jolted awake by a hand over his mouth.
Panic, raw and sour had him wide awake. He thrashes, trying to reach for his blades before realizing he’d taken off the holster and left it with his daggers on the floor by the door. (A mistake-- he never leaves himself unarmed. He’ll chastise himself for it later.) He throws his hands out and claws at the arm pinning him desperately, breathing heavily as he bites the hand over his mouth.
“Sampo!” Gepard’s voice is a harsh growl but he doesn’t get off of Sampo, smacking his thrashing hands away. “Stop. Stop!” He hisses it out, eyes wide and fierce with fear that doesn’t register in Sampo’s brain, clouded by the adrenaline in his blood and the feeling of being trapped. Gepard grunts, his knee pressing on Sampo’s sternum and the splints digging into his stomach.
“Sampo, please. Please. ” It’s a whispered yell, desperate. Gepard is breathing heavily, hair matted to his forehead with sweat. He keeps glancing up at the door; his shoulders are shaking. Sampo can feel his words on his face when Gepard looks down at him again, his nails digging into Sampo’s cheek. “Quiet, be quiet, Koski. It’s-- it’s…”
