warnings: none, just fluff
you had woken up in a cold sweat, chest heaving, and your entire body shaking like a leaf. you’ve had plenty of nightmares before but none like this one, this one felt real.
your breathing remained unsteady as you tried to ground yourself, placing a shaky hand over your heart. it felt like it was going to beat right out of your chest, you were surprised it hadn’t. you tried your best to remain as quiet as possible, extra careful not to wake up your sleeping boyfriend.
your efforts determined unsuccessful as he stirred awake, slowly but surely taking in his surroundings.
“are you awake?” his voice was riddled with sleep and concern. “it’s nearly three o’ clock in the morning.”
“i—um—im sorry, i didn’t mean to wake you.” you tried your best to hide your shaky voice but to no avail.
“hey woah, are you crying? what happened?” he was wide awake now, twisting his body to face yours, “are you okay?”
“yes, i’m sorry it’s stupid i’ll be okay,” you took another deep breath, “it was just a nightmare.”
“you definitely don’t seem okay,” he shifted closer to you, pulling you into him.
you couldn’t hold back anymore, thick tears pooled in your waterline spilling over almost instantaneously. a sob racked through your entire body. “it felt so real, you were gone and i couldn’t find you and—“
“hey hey, you’re okay,” his hand pressed against the back of your head, softly urging you to rest your head on his chest. “i’m right here okay, i’m not going anywhere. i’ve got you.”
you nodded, pressing yourself impossibly closer to him, “can we please just stay like this forever.”
“anything for you,” he plants a firm reassuring kiss on the crown of your head, “anything.”
you smiled to yourself, “thank you.”
“anytime honey, now get some rest okay?”
you nodded slightly, sleep already engulfing you.
schlatt doesn’t allow himself to fall back asleep until he is positive that you are okay and sleeping soundly.
