Subject: [ASCEM-S] NEW DS9 Nightmares G/B NC-17 Part 1/4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hey there everyone!

Here's the third promised story! I can only hope (as I so frequently
do) that if you liked the others you will like this one too! :-D

Series:  Deep Space Nine
Title:   Nightmares
Author:  Charon
Feedback: I hope you send the feedback to the same place you sent
feedback to the other two stories...but if you didn't send feedback
for the other two stories, then please send feedback for this story
if you so desire to kwaigoncainejinn@yahoo.com. I will be eternally
grateful.
Rating:  NC-17 . . . Actually, I thought it might be an 'R', but
since I was in doubt, I went with the higher rating. Feel free to
tell me what you think the rating really is.
Pairing: Garak/Bashir
Warning: (in blinking neon letters) Extreme mushyness toward the end!
Author's Notes:  This is what happens when you watch Buffy The
Vampire Slayer on television and then an episode of Deep Space Nine
on your computer and then take a nap. You end up with a very strange
dream that you just can't, even though you probably should, keep to
yourself.

And without a further ado...onto our dream, uh...tale! :-D

Nightmares

	Julian sat straight up in bed, and gasped as his chest
heaved.  He'd had a series of some of the most disturbing dreams he
had ever had, and though he'd had enough nightmares to be able to
scream himself out of them, these weren't his usual brand of
nightmares, and screaming hadn't helped at all.

	In fact, it had only intensified them.

	He shuddered, and in deference to the warm body that lay next
to him, tried to keep his movements to a minimum.  However, he should
have known better than to try and make his movements quiet, for the
man next to him sat up as well, and placed a gentle hand on his
shuddering shoulders.

	"Julian?"  Garak's voice was soft, his blue eyes were
instantly alert, and Julian turned to him, then launched himself into
Garak's arms.

	"Take me, Garak."  He begged.  "Please.  Make it stop.  It's
coming for me.  Make me safe.  If just for this last night."  He
wept, and Garak pulled the younger man closer to him, and held him.

	Garak scowled into the darkness and wondered just what was
going on.  They'd only been sleeping together for a little over three
months, and he was used to Julian having nightmares, but over the
course of the last month, the nightmares had progressed to night
terrors, and wouldn't stop until Julian woke. If he were woken
prematurely, the nightmares would continue once he went back to
sleep . . . if he went back to sleep.

	At first, his friends and colleagues had attributed the lack
of sleep to Garak and their oh-so-unapproved of relationship, and
hadn't exactly been gentle in their admonitions to Garak to stop
doing whatever it was he was to Julian, and allow the young man to
sleep.  However, as the weeks wore on, Julian quickly lost weight,
was extremely distracted, looked more sickly than healthy, and had
grown increasingly paranoid, until even his friends had to admit
there was something wrong besides Garak.  However, when Julian woke
up, he never remembered any of the content of the nightmares, and no
one really wanted to press him about them, hoping that they would
pass.

	Garak didn't know what to do other than to answer his new
lover's plea.  He slowly leaned his head down and kissed the younger
man, but found himself being devoured by hungry, desperate lips.  And
it was like that for the rest of their session.  Garak gave and
Julian took . . . no, it was more like Julian absorbed everything
that Garak was and did.  The young doctor was like a man possessed.

	That was how it had been every night for the last two weeks,
and Garak sighed as Julian demanded he pound into him harder and
faster.  As much as Garak liked hard, rough sex, he also liked slow,
gentle sex . . . but when he tried it, it only made Julian's
nightmares worse.  In fact, the only time that Julian truly slept
without nightmares, indeed, without any dreams at all, was after he
was sated and utterly exhausted by Garak.

	When it was over, Julian collapsed to the bed and lay as one
dead.  However, his panting, heaving chest belied the fact, and Garak
watched as Julian's eyelids closed.  Almost immediately, Julian's
heavy breathing evened out, and Garak knew that he had already fallen
asleep.

	"I love you, Garak."  Julian's sleep-thickened voice
whispered, and Garak started almost violently.

	That was NOT what was supposed to happen between them.  That
wasn't what Julian was supposed to say . . . neither one of them were
supposed to ever say that. They had agreed in the beginning that all
their relationship was going to mean was that they had great sex.
Their relationship was for nothing more than to hold each other
through the night and have someone to keep the bed warm on the nights
they couldn't find anyone else, and to fight off loneliness.
	
That was all.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.

	Garak sighed and ran his hand through Julian's sweat-dampened
hair, and the young man never moved, which let Garak know that Julian
truly was VERY deeply asleep, and completely unaware that he had
confessed his feelings out loud.

	He sighed and leaned his head back against the headboard of
the bed.  He should have known that Julian wouldn't have been able to
follow the rules.  He wondered exactly how long Julian had loved him,
and if it had happened before or after the nightmares had started.
The knowledge that Julian loved him both scared and thrilled him, as
well as gave him an odd sense of power that he quickly squashed.

	Julian didn't need him adding to the troubles he already had,
and he would never have taken advantage of the younger man
anyway . . . certainly not at that time at any rate.  He kissed the
man's hair, then lay beside him, and wondered at the tenderness and
indeed, altruism, he suddenly felt for the young human.

	However, it wasn't a nightmare ­ at least, one that could be
woken up from ­ that he, Sisko, Miles, and Kira faced from the jail
cell the very next night.

And there we have the end of part one! :-D  f you liked it, feel free
to let me know . . . if you didn't, well, you can tell m,e that to,
but since it's already writen, what's the point? ;-)  Seriously, I'll
take naything helpful under advisement. :-D

Ever a Friend,

Charon
