Hunter knows that this will be a difficult night, for both of them. This night is a lot different than the one where Jim was affected by Austin's magic. The Nightmare realm might have brought back many of the same memories... and made Jim live through the worst part of his life again... but it also inflicted a new terror in the other man.

So when Jim pauses in the bedroom, asking where he should sleep, Hunter moves on autopilot himself. He takes Jim's hand in his own, and guides him to the bed. He gets in first, before gently pulling Jim to lay beside him.

He knows that Jim might awaken to nightmares tonight. That neither of them will have an easy sleep. But Hunter feels that maybe it would give Jim just a little security, to have someone holding him tonight.

"Here... I want you by my side. Always." Hunter finally speaks.
