Stein placed his hands onto Spirit’s side and arm, gently shaking him back and forth, loudly whispering a mantra;

“Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Wake up, Spirit.”

Prying open bleary eyes and squinting at Stein through the blanketing darkness, Albarn lifted his torso and rested on his elbow. “What,” he groggily grunted, rubbing his grimacing face. “What are you doing in here? What do you want?”

Stein was avoiding making any eye contact at all, merely staring at his blue sheets. He was swaying on his feet and feeling incessantly of his knuckles, the tremble in his voice growing thicker with each word.

“Nightmares,” he spoke concisely and not above murmur.

Albarn lifted a suspecting eyebrow. “Waking nightmares?”

“Waking.”

Spirit threw the covers open, gesturing Stein to come and scooting over to the other side of the bed, to which he promptly crawled into the pocket of warmth the weapon had so kindly created, pulling the comforter all the way up past his nose, curling up and hiding underneath it.

A quiet voice demanding that Stein follow it repeated itself just as it had when he’d trudged anxiously down the hall, as the feeling of the spider-legged eyes running up and down his fingers, his arms, his head, his legs overwhelmed his senses. To Spirit’s fright, he slapped and scratched at his limbs, even flailing agitatedly.

“Hey, don’t do that!” He exclaimed with a concerned countenance, hoisting himself up immediately. He grabbed ahold of Stein’s wild arms and soothed over the reddened skin with uncharacteristically tender thumbs. “Were they crawling on you again?”

He nodded his head slowly, body unmoving, still not bearing to look at his partner. He looked to be somewhat afraid or apprehensive, as if something horrible would happen if their eyes were to meet.

“Hm,” Spirit hummed pensively, averting his gaze for the sake of Stein’s comfort. “I know you’re not much of a hugger.. but.. would it help if I held you- you know, just so you wouldn’t hurt yourself?”

It was barely noticeable, but Franken’s eyes widened by a small margin, darting across the room.

“And… you seem a little scared. Maybe it would make you feel better? Hugs make me feel better, though you’re not me. Have you ever cuddled with anyone before?”

He shook his head “no,” movements still strangely slow.

“Would you like to try? I’m sure you’re curious about it- you’re curious about just about everything, aren’t you?”

He nodded.

“You can think about, uh, the scientific explanation behind, uh, why, uh, humans enjoy this shit, okay? And if you don’t like it, tell me and we’ll stop.”

“Okay.”

“Well, all right.”

Spirit moved to lay down along with Stein once more, inching closer and wrapping his arms around his upper half, bringing one hand to the back of his head. “Here, I’ll make sure they don’t bother you, yeah?” He gently concealed the younger’s face against his chest, quickly pulling the covers over the both of them. Stein kneaded fistfuls of his shirt in his hands, fiddling with the fabric in between his fingers, as he swung a leg over Spirit’s.

Heaving a languid and content sigh, Albarn muttered, “There we go. …Just relax now. I know it’s hard, Stein. I know you’re feeling a little wound up, but just breathe with me for a moment. Just breathe, in and out, okay? I know your head’s probably racing with a bunch of scary thoughts all at once, and I know you’ll probably find this suspicious of me to say, but close your eyes. Relax. Listen to the sound of my voice.. try to ignore theirs if they’re bothering you. You know I’m always here for you, don’t you? You’re my meister. My strong, cockroach of a meister. You could survive anything. You’ll make it through the madness alive, I know you will.”

“……Thank you,” Stein squeezed him just a little tighter, to which Spirit squeezed him in return.

Power isn’t money

Power is spelling “Mr Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity: Tulpamancer’s Prosopagnosia/Pareidolia (As Direct Result of Trauma to the Fusiform Gyrus” correctly the first time without looking it up.

You're trying to replace yourself *clap clap*

WWATTW art? Of the Mr. Capgras mv?? In this economy???

Done digitally, total time ≈ 10h (I lost track of time so I'm not 100% sure)

[mossify]

I feel so bad for non-Will Wood listeners who have to deal with my bullshit. Because, how am I supposed to explain why "YOU'RE TRYING TO REPLACE YOURSELF, YOU'RE TRYING TO REPLACE YOURSELF" just came out of my phone when my headphones disconnected?
