Ez usually sleeps in shorts and nothing else during the summer, but since he was attacked he hasn't been able to sleep in anything less than his winter pajamas - he just doesn't feel safe without being covered. He'd like to have a few heavy winter blankets on the bed as well since the weight comforts him, but he knows Oliver would be much too hot, and he doesn't want to sleep on his own. He's in the midst of yet another nightmare, this one the same as the ones he's had almost every night after the attack. He keeps reliving it when he sleeps, and every night it feels so real. He can see the same faceless person torturing him like he was back in that stupid forest - and sometimes, when he wakes up, he thinks he is. He jolts awake tonight, sitting upright suddenly, his chest heaving.
