A/N : Based on my idea that Todd left Welton after Neil's death, and returned to Balincrest. R&R and there will be much love. 100 words.

Name

His roommate at Balincrest tells him he's been screaming again. Between 2 and 3, he says matter of factly, like it's routine for him at said time. Thrashing about, sweating buckets, seeming as though he gets more nightmare than shut-eye. Screaming his name. Like he's lost him, the kid says, like he's lost the love of his life. Neil, over and over in his sleep, a desperate scream, the mousy kid tells him, as though his name means something.

Thanks, he stutters back, I needed to hear that.

/but not really/ he thinks, realizing how obviously desperate he really is.
