“fuck…” a small curse exited out of your lips when you saw the time written on the clock beside your bedside.
you never really expected to wake up at 2:39am after a small (kind of a?) nightmare that caused you to wake up. the nightmare was…nothing really, just a small bunch of memories you wanted to forget (sort of like a deja vu fever dream) but never the less, you were used to these types of situations, so the first thing that popped out of your mind was to go to the bathroom and drink a cup of water.
however, before you could even hop out of your bed, an arm tightened its grip over your chest, making you stop at the sudden friction that was pulling you back on the cushion. and then for a few seconds, you sighed.
“kaeya…”
“where are you going?” the sleepy tone in his voice made you act up a little.
“…to the bathroom. c’mon i just wanna wash my face…” you told to him, patting his muscular arms off your lower body. a small movement over the pillows can be heard, and you were sure he was ready to let you go, until all of a sudden—he spoke once more. “did you have another bad dream?”
ah. talk about figures.
“congrats, you got that right—woohoo..” sarcasm filled your voice when kaeya only chuckled. “this is the 5th night you had a bad dream whenever we sleep together. is it because i cuddle you all the time..!?” kaeya irked, gasping dramatically before pulling you closer. you laughed, playfully smacking his blue locks. “no, you idiot. this is normal for me, don’t worry…”
“sweetheart it’s not normal to always have nightmares now. sit up, i have something for you.” quickly, kaeya let’s go of your figure and sat up the bed where you obliged and turned to face him, face a little curious on what he was about to do next. as his hands opened the drawer on top of the clock, kaeya pulls out a small night lamp and closes the cabinet afterwards.
“a night lamp?”
“ding ding, you got that correct. venti gave it to me, told me it’ll ‘help you out in the dark,’ which i didn’t know why he had to say that. i’m not much afraid of the dark…as long as you’re beside me that is,” he says, sending you a small wink as you only rolled your eyes. “but, i too frequently had nightmares or bad dreams a lot when i was young. i also had terrible headaches after and…it just sucks that you’re also going through the same..” as he plugged the night lamp on he continues. “my father used to tell me all i had to do is follow these steps in order for me to go back to sleep and the bad dreams would go away.”
taking his hand in yours, kaeya switches on the night lamp—and suddenly, the roof above you was illuminated by the beautiful shade of orange, a small shadow of stars and a moon shifted across the light. your eyes grew mesmerized by the sight. “it’s so beautiful…” you whispered.
“now lay down back on the bed..” you did as you were told, and was fast to lay your head back on the soft pillow. your lover followed soon after. “now, i want you to think of the good times you had. whether it be a memory with the one’s you love the most. like me for example,” he teases, and you couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.
“you done? you don’t need to think of all of it. just one good memory is enough.”
“oh sure. i had too many good memories with you.” you replied, and you hear him laugh. shifting his place to face you, kaeya then spoke again, “next, i want you to close your eyes…and count to 10. speak loud so i can hear your voice.” he says, and you did just that.
you counted
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
and..
10.
the moment you reached 10, you felt a soft plush of someone’s lips lean down and kiss your forehead, making you feel calm and…relaxed, even if your face turned into a soft blush of red.
“that’s my sweetheart…now the final step is…” pulling you close to his chest, you felt a swoon energy of tiredness rush over your body like a wave as you hugged him back. smiling, kaeya brushes your hair and laid his head on your shoulder, pulling the blanket on both of your bodies warming one another.
“sleep well this time…”
you never found yourself having bad dreams after that.
