Night terror isn't a uncommon occurence in your day, sometimes you woke up drenched in sweat and your heart beats so fast you couldn't focus on anything, You doesn't even realize that a tear would fall down your cheeks at any moment.
even so, there would always be someone that will always be there for you. Your lover who would wake up from his sleep, embrace you on his arm and tells you reassuring word, while sometimes you'd sobbed on his arm.
But.. this time is different, your lover woke up searching for your presence whilst you were not there.
– Nightmare isn't an abnormal occurence in your little household, to your days on dating Ajax nightmare always follows him on his dream somehow, but usually the one who had a nightmare is you, you've rarely seen Ajax had a nightmare on his dreams
‐ You're that type of person who always woke up in a middle of the night to get some snacks either it was tea or just a light snack. Mostly when you woke up your boyfriend is either snoring himself or rather just sleeping peacfully beside you.
– But this time was different, as usual you were having your usual late night snack, sometimes it can go 2-4 times per week, when you got out of your bed you failed to notice how your boyfriend is thrashing around on his sleep. Maybe its because of the darkness of the room or maybe you were just to sleepy to notice it
– As you were stirring yourself a cup of tea you noticed a faint footstep directing to you, you wonder to yourself did i wake him up again? But again you paid no mind until the voice of your own lover started calling you.
– (Name)? Are you there your own lover called you out, hearing how his tone were laced in fear you stopped whatever you're doing and rushes over to him.
"Ajax! Whats wrong?" you walked yourself to him standing on the hallways of your bedroom, seeing the concerned and pale face of his you began to wonder, did he have a nightmare again?
"I.. i though i.." he choked a sob, "I thought i lost you, where were you?.."
"Ajax im sorry is it the nightmare again? Come lets get you to bed first." You grabbed him softly by his hands and guide him to your shared bedroom.
"Sit here okay, do you want a tea ajax? Hold on lemme get it for you"
"No! No.. sit here with me (name)" he grabbed your arm and usher you to sit down with him
"Alright alright." You sat down beside him, "Is it the nightmare again? Im sorry i was on the kitchen, do you perhaps want to talk about it?"
To which he only shakes his head as an response
"Please just.. just stay with me, just for now." He said whilst embracing you on his arm
His hugged seemed stiffer, he hugged you as if you could disappear on any second. You could feel how your shoulder was somehow starting to get warmer. Oh ajax..
As you too embraced him on your arm and rubbed his back, "its fine im here now ajax." You ponder what could he be possibly dreaming of? Perhaps its his memory of the abyss.
– Everyone can be prone to night terrors, even the god of teyvat, Venti. To your days of being with him you've had never seen him succumb to his own nightmare, usually it was you.
– whenever you would have your usual night terrors Venti would always be there for you, he would embrace on his arms, sings you a tune of melody until you feel safe enough to sleep again.
– however this night was different, you were out having a good midnight of mondstadt wind on your house balcony, but what you failed to notice is that your boyfriend was not having a really good sleep tonight.
– just when you were finished hanging out on the balcony of your house, you turned your heels to be met with a view of your own lover sitting on the edge of the bed whilst his cheeks seems to be stained with tear.
"Venti?" You turned your heels to him.
"Oh? Im sorry love, i must've startled you heh." He said his face forcing a smile, "though, what were you doing this late at night? You should be sleeping."
"Just inhaling some cold wind, whats wrong? Is it the nightmare again?" You sat beside him on the edge of the bed
"Cmere lemme hug you, sorry i was on the balcony." You hugged him tight, "if you want to tell me about it im all ears."
"No its fine (Name), just stay here with me." He said embracing himself on your arms, "Just you yourself its enough to make me feel safe again (Name)."
You looked at his face, this time his face was showing smile, a genuine one.
– Xiao never sleeps, he never do he was afraid that if he sleeps the haunting memory of his friends would show up on his dream. Xiao was always restless, but not until he met you.
– You were like the radiant sun on his dark life, you would always light up his life, when he learned that you were not affevted by his karmic debt he couldnt be much more happier knowing that he's free to be with you without afraid that his karmic debt is affecting you.
– sometimes when xiao was having his night terror, he would leave without saying a word to you, sometimes when you woke up you would find his side of the bed. And when you confront him about what happened, he will simply just shakes his head.
– as you were staying the night at wangshu inn you noticed that your lover side of bed is empty, you began to wonder where he might went. So you went to wangshu's inn balcony in hope that xiao was there.
when you went up to the wangshu's inn balcony, you could feel the cold air of liyue hitting your bone, just as you reached the top you sees that a certain green haired boy standing near the rail of the balcony
"Xiao?" You said approaching him
"What are you doing? Why are you awake at this hour (name)?" He turned to face you, you noticed that his face expression is sour. Must've been the nightmare..
"I was looking for you of course," You stopped your heels, "You know you can always talk to me when this happened my Love"
"I don't want to disturb your sleep (name)."
"Who cares about sleep when your own partner is having a nightmare?" You held his hand, "If you want to talk to me about it just say it alright?"
"Lets return to our room, i'll give you a good cuddle." You said smiling
"Of course" He softened his gaze at you
Its always rare to see him be vulnerable like this, and when you do you couldn't be much happier that your own Lover feels safe on your own presence.
