Before Wren was inherited by his new master, his life was a nightmare that spanned years instead of hours, one from which he couldn't wake, because it was real. His new master, Jere, is trying hard to prove to Wren that he is safe now and cared about, but ghosts from the past still haunt Wren. When Wren has a nightmare and doesn't want to be touched, Jere finds a way to comfort Wren without touching anything but his heart. (M/M)
