[Her dreams are restless. They usually are these days. She dreams of giant monsters, and tentacle monsters in the dark place beneath Hawkins, and of fires that consume the entire world. She murmurs in her sleep, tossing and turning. The sun's already coming up when she jumps awake, sitting up and looking all around her. She's breathing hard, but the panic starts to subside when she feels Johnnie next to her.
She can't see him, even through the dim traces of sunrise coming through the windows. But his presence is unmistakable, as is the warmth of him against her. She settles back down against him, nuzzling up beneath his arm so it's wrapped around her. They wind up shifting together, so they're on their sides and his chest is pressed against her back. Whether he's awake and aware of it or he's just instinctively doing it doesn't matter to her. All she knows is that it makes her feel safe and sound.
That enables her to fall back asleep, until he starts to shift when he wakes up. Her hand grabs at his arm to keep him there, as her eyes flutter open. She can hear the door handle jiggling, the chair that's blocking it preventing someone from getting inside.]
I think they're trying to get in.
[Her hand taps at his arm before she moves to sit up, glaring over at the door for giving them a wake up call.]
