Cuddle Time!Accepting
❂ Your muse just had a nightmare and needs cuddles to fall asleep again.
She woke up screaming and when the piercing sound died in her throat she was left struggling to breath. Heavy gasps broke through hard sobs that caused her chest to cave in. Every part of her body, both inside and out, burned terribly and the pain felt so damn real despite the detective knowing that it was all just in her head, and she was shaking almost violently. It took her consciousness a few seconds to catch up with her, bringing the frantic woman back to reality when she was suddenly wrapped in a pair of large arms, finding herself being pressed against warm skin as a hand cupped the back of her head. A voice whispered to her, soothing words spoke softly as she felt gentle friction up and down her back. Shh, baby. I got you, you’re okay. I’ve got you.
Deeks.
Of course.
Upon realizing it was him, Kimberly started to relax. “Breathe with me.” she heard him say and so paused for just a moment to listen to his breathing and feel the steady movement of his chest. With her ear pressed against his heart, she concentrated on the slow rhythm of its beating and forced her body to mimic it all. With his arms still wrapped around her, Deeks shifted the two of them and helped her to lay back down, though he kept her so close that she was practically laying over top of him but neither of them complained. She felt him tug the blanket up and over her shoulder, tucking her in close against him and hugging her tight. Soon Kimberly was able to settle and nuzzle his neck, Deeks buried his nose in her hair and kissed her head. ‘I love yous’ were exchanged before Kimberly closed her eyes once more to fall asleep, this time believing that she would be safe in Deeks’ arms.
