"Hey, why are you already up love?" You heard Jake whisper from behind you, feeling his arms wrap around your waist.
"It's nothing babe, you can go back to sleep." You turned your head towards him, greeting him with a kiss before turning back to the coffee you made. You didn't want to bother him with something so trivial and honestly, you didn't want to return back to sleep. So, you made coffee, in hopes that you won't go back to sleep because of it.
You were about to take a sip from your glass but his hands stopped you from doing so. He took the glass from you before carefully turning your body so that you'd face him. His hands were on either side of you, effectively trapping you.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his eyes staring into yours, hoping to get an answer. You pursed your lips, contemplating whether or not you wanted to be honest.
When you came into a conclusion, you merely sighed, looking away from his gaze to avoid the embarrassment you felt. "It's really nothing. It's just a nightmare. A pretty childish one, if you ask me."
Jake cupped your face in his hands, softly forcing you to look at him. "There's nothing childish about a nightmare, (Y/n). We all have them from time to time."
"Yeah, but mine's pretty childish and unrealistic." Your eyes gazed into his, allowing Jake to see what you truly felt. When he saw how scared you were, he wrapped his arms around you once more, your head buried into his chest as you hugged him back.
"No matter how childish it might be, I'll always listen to your worries." He whispered, stroking your hair to calm you down. There were a few moments of silence before hearing you sigh in defeat, feeling your hands clutch his shirt tightly.
"You left me." You started, your voice meek, as if afraid to be scolded. "I dreamt that you left me for someone else."
"Oh, Love..." Carefully, He placed his hands on your shoulder, forcing you to look directly into his eyes. He placed his hand on your face once more, cupping them as his thumb caressed your cheeks. "That's not childish. That's actually really scary but..." He gazed at you with the love he felt for you, his forehead touching yours as he whispered, "I'd never leave you, (Y/n). The thought never even crossed my mind. Why would I when you're already perfect for me?"
"Promise?"
He extended his pinky finger, a reassuring smile laced on his lips. "I promise. I'll even cut off this finger if I break the promise." He proclaimed, causing you to giggle before hitting him softly. "Stop it."
He let out a grin, "You finally smiled." He whispered before interlacing his hand with yours, "Let's go back to sleep?"
You nodded, allowing yourself to be dragged back into your shared bedroom. When you reached your bed, he tucked you on your side, "Comfy?"
"Yes but..." You patted the empty spot beside you, "I'll be comfier if you were beside me."
Jake chuckled at this, slowly going to his side to obey your wish. Once he laid down, he placed his arms on your waist, effectively pulling you closer to him. He played with your hair a bit before speaking, "I'll wait until you fall asleep."
"You don't have to!"
"I know but I want to." He said firmly, smiling as he gave you a quick peck on your lips.
Your eyes widened as your cheeks heated up from his sudden action. You buried your head into his chest, hoping that he wouldn't be able to see the face you were making.
You heard the chuckle that he let out as you did your best to calm down, closing your eyes while you took deep breaths. As you were doing this, you didn't notice that you had fallen asleep in his embrace.
Jake noticed your lack of movement, his eyes peeking to see if you were asleep. When he realized that you were, he let out a soft smile, brushing the stray hair from your face. He once again placed a kiss, however this time, on your forehead. "Sleep well, my love."
