Meme: 30-Day Original Story Development Challenge

Here is a 30 day original story development challenge. It can be filled by prose or illustration or comic or even just script, whatever works for you and how you’ll be displaying the setting. Feel free to reveal as much or as little as you want.

Day 12 - How does a character comfort themself?
Chip woke with a start in the middle of the night, muscles along his arms and legs twitching erratically in a panic that hadn't yet reached his sleep-befuddled mind. Some noise must have woken him up.

He tried to sit up, squinting in the darkness and trying to reach down for his crowbar, but a hand on his chest kept him down. It wasn't a forceful gesture - just a light, reassuring touch that had obviously anticipated his reaction. It was Icarus, who must have woken up moments before him. The fallen angel was looking at the bedroom door. Chip craned his neck to look over the foot of the bed and made out a small figure huging the side of the door.

It was Agatha standing in the doorway, her hair a wild bed-rumpled mess and the corner of her pijama - an oversized shirt inherited from some poor soul in Kansas - in her hands.

"Hey, Aggie," whispered Chip. "What's wrong?"

Agatha twisted the cloth in her hands and focused her eyes on her feet. Beside him, Chip felt Icarus move away from him, his hand slipping off his chest. It wasn't until Agatha was climbing over the end of the bed and slipping in between them that Chip figured it out.

He dragged the covers up over Agatha's shoulders, giving her arm a reasurring squeeze before dropping his hand down between them. Agatha curled herfingers around his and closed her eyes. From the other side of the single bed, he heard Icarus whisper a gentle, "Sleep well."
