still up, studying in his room. He saw the text and blinked, wondering why she was texting at this time.

's text merely read. "Come over, now." She had to see him right now.

frowned when he saw that and instantly got up, putting a few things in his bag before rushing over there. He never wanted to waste time when Astrid needed him. Within a few moments he was knocking at her door.

opened the door and hugged him automatically. She didn't say a word, she just hugged him.

just got in enough to close the door behind him and held her. "It's okay... m'here. M'always here for ye, sis."

held his shirt, she bit her lip fairly hard. "I hate that dream.." She mumbled shaking her head. She wasn't even wearing her glasses right now.

kissed her head lightly as he carefully took her to sit on the small couch she had. "Which dream was it this time...?"

shook her head. She didn't want to talk about it. She whined a little as they sat. "No.."

nods a bit, stroking her hair lightly and swaying a bit with her. "I brought some vodka, if ye wanted it. Just in case." He'd always make sure she didn't get drunk, but a few shots was always okay.

nodded. "'lright.." She bit her lip once more. "I had that dream again.." This reoccurring dream had been happening since she was ten.

pulled his bag off his shoulders and pulled out the vodka, handing it to her after. His heart dropped a bit when he heard that. He knew exactly what it was in relation to, and felt guilty.

took a small shot. "Y' were gone.. 'nd I don' want t' lose y'.. I don' think I could deal with Mom 'nd Dad without y'.."

held her close agaisnt his chest. "Because of ye I'm still here, okay? And because of that, I'm not goin' anywhere. Not without ye, at least."

nods to him. "Mhmm.. I know.. I just.. I don' like that dream.. 'Nd it seems so real." she leaned her head against him,

kissed the side of her head lightly. "It could have ended up a lot worse, ye know..." He felt so selfish for that moment and he'd probably never forgive himself.

"Ja I know it could 've been..." She frowned, shivering at the thought. She hated thinking about that, and she hated her dreams even more.

held her tighter, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and back. "I'll stay the night with ye..."

nods to him. "Tack, bror.." She said shifting to hug him.

stroked her back lightly. "I don't want ye gettin' drunk, but ye're more then welcome to drink up... I'll keep an eye on ye." He pulled back a little to smile at her. "Just how ye kept an eye on me."

nods she took another drink of the alcohol. "'M not goin t' get drunk.. Y' know I won't." She looked up at him and smiled a little bit.

smiled faintly and stroked her cheek. "Ye wanna lie in bed and I'll read ye a fairytale?"

nods to him. "'lright." She started to get up, she felt like a child with that statement, but she would ignore it.

wanted her to, in a way. He knew it was one of the best ways to cheer her up, since he was always by her in that case.

got up and went into bed, she bit her lip a little. She was tired, but didnt' exactly want to sleep anymore.

slid into bed with her, staying above the covers. "What story do ye wanna hear?"

shook her head. "I don' care.. 'nythin.." She thought for a moment. "Somethin by Hans Christian Anderson."

chuckled a little, putting an arm around her and pulled her lightly against his chest. "I knew ye'd say that..." He thought for a moment before telling her the story of The Steadfast Tin Soldier.

shifted and got comfortable, she smiled a little bit. "Ja ja.." She closed her eyes and listened to the story, drifting off during the story.

continued all the way to the end, knowing how she got annoyed when he stopped when she wasn't fully asleep. He close his eyes after and started to fall asleep soon after.
