Night terrors

!!!（╯°□°）╯ミ /╲/( ͜。 ͜。 ͡ʖ ͜。 ͜。)/\╱\

Five shot up in a cold sweat, his head was spinning as he frantically looked around the room. It was dark so he couldn't see much, when reality set in he quickly turned his head to the sleeping figure netted to him.

(Y/n) was buried, comfortably in a blanket as she softly snored. Five's frantic state soon calmed down as he sighed and brushed some hair out of her face, his handshaking.

(Y/n) felt a hand on her face and slowly woke up,

"Hmm... oh Five? Are you alright?" She asked as she propped herself up on an elbow and rubbed her eyes with one hand.

"mhm..." he hummed quietly.

"Just watching me sleep then?" She asked sarcastically, with a smirk. Fives softly smile soon faltered as he played his head against her chest.

"Hey... what's wrong baby... and don't even lie cause I know something is wrong." She said softly, getting into a more comfortable position. Five still laying on her.

"It's no big deal, really, only a nightmare." He said calmly, as he nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck.

"If you say so..." she mumbled before they both fell back to sleep.

But that was only the beginning, Five would frequently wake up with night terrors. (Y/n) wasn't a fool, he would tell her it was nothing and don't to worry, but she was. She knew it wasn't anything. The problem is he isn't telling her anything so she can't help him. How she knew he was having nightmares, he would just leave the room instead of waking her. He would just leave for a few hours then come back to bed like everything was fine. She had no idea where he was going so one night she decided to investigate.

She would stay awake and as soon as he would wake up from his night terror she would follow him. And that's exactly what she did...

. . .

Five shot up from bed, like usual. After he caught his breath and looked next to him to make sure (y/n) was still there, like usual. He left. He just got out of bed and teleported away. (Y/n) quickly shot up and darted out the door, trying not to lose him.

She stopped once she left the room. Her eyes fell on Five, who was shaking and holding himself in the hallway. He didn't even bother to go into a different room. He was just having a breakdown right there in the middle of the hallway.

She slowly approached him, he was still shaking and mumbling nonsense, his breathing out of control. Tears were streaming down his face. She slowly hugged him from behind, Five jolted at the sudden contact but soon relaxed once he saw who it was.

"W-what are you doing?" He stuttered out.

"Five... why didn't you tell me?" She asked ignoring his question.

"I don't know." He sobbed out. "I don't want you to think I'm weak just because I can't handle stupid dreams! Shit that sent real! It's stupid..." Five cried out in anger.

"It's not stupid, you're allowed to have feelings Five... You're not weak if you cry. Do- do you wanna talk about it?" She asked nervously, as she let go of him. He turned around, with his tear-stained face and nodded. He led her back into the room and they sat on the bed.

"So it starts out with me back in the apocalypse... and like always I can't time travel back out... and I just get all these flashbacks of everything dead... and then right before I wake up I see you... and (y/n) I can't take it anymore! The way you looked dead! And the fact that I couldn't save you! Hurts! It- it really hurts..." he said as he started to cry again. (Y/n) quickly embraced him in for another hug this time he hugged her back tightly.

It was apparent, Five had trauma and he need help, but luckily for him, he was gonna get it.

(against! who knew!)
