Welcome to Little Hope Oneshots (Female reader)

Comfort from Nightmares (John x Female Reader)

Y/n jolts up in a cold sweat, awakened from another dreaded nightmare. She looks around in a panic, still scared that she's not safe. Her breathing only slightly calms down, realizing that she's in bed. Y/n looks to the left side of the shared bed, hoping that in her state of panic that she didn't wake up her boyfriend John... again.

Y/n carefully sits up properly, putting her head in her hands as the memories of her nightmare creep back in her mind.

Ever since that night in Little Hope the nightmares have been becoming more and more common for Y/n, she basically has them every night now, and its the same every time.

The demons... watching her friends die... watching John die... with her being able to do nothing... not being able to save them... and it always ends the same, with her being the last to die.

"Y/n, sweetheart are you alright?" John quietly asked snapping Y/n out of her state of mind. She hadn't noticed John sitting up with his hand slowly rubbing her back, she hadn't even notice that she'd been crying until John gently whipped her tears away.

"Oh- John... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to wake you..." Y/n apologized, ashamed she's the reason he's awake.

"No no, its alright, don't worry." John reassured her.

"Another nightmare?" He asked, all Y/n was able to do was nod her head as she was trying to hold back more tears.

John's heart breaks at the sight of Y/n like this, he quickly pulls her into a hug. Y/n gratefully accepts his embrace, wrapping her arms around him as she buries her face in his chest unable to hold back her tears.

"Shh, its okay. Its alright. I'm here... I'm here." Y/n only holds him tighter, to assure herself he really is here. John gently runs his hands through her hair in efforts to calm her down.

"It was just a nightmare Y/n, its over... we're all safe... you're safe." John coaxes, she nods, his words comforting her as she starts to calm down.

A shaky breath escapes Y/n's lips before she snuggles closer to John.

"Feeling better?" John asks looking down at Y/n.

"Yes... Thank you John." She smiles looking up at him.

"Of course." He smiles back.

"I'm sorry I keep waking you up like this... I try not to... I know you need your sleep and you shouldn't be worrying about me." She said, avoiding his gaze

"Hey, its okay. Don't worry about me. I would have felt guilty knowing you were going through this and you didn't wake me. I'm always here for you whenever you need me." He says sweetly. She looks back up at him, a smile reappearing on her face.

John gently grabs Y/n's chin, pulling her closer until their lips connect. Y/n sighs contently as she wraps her arms around the back of Johns neck, lightly pulling his hair.

John hums, putting his hands around the small of her back. Y/n pulls herself closer to John, allowing herself to sit on Johns lap, wrapping her legs around his waist. John slides his hands up her back, he then pulls her even closer deepening the kiss.

They stay like this until they're both left breathless, Y/n pulls away, slightly gasping for air. She rests her forehead on Johns, their lips brushing together as they try to catch their breaths.

"We-... We should get some sleep. Maybe we can continue this later? Tomorrow perhaps?" John only nods making Y/n giggle as she lays down next to him, resting her head on his chest. John wraps his arms around her before kissing Y/n's forehead.

Y/n's smile never leaves her lips as she drifts off to sleep, knowing she's safe and that the nightmares can't scare her anymore.
