You Have A Nightmare

Luke: you wake up instantly with your heart beating as fast as a drum beat. It’s dark and cold and the only thing you can hear is the sound of your hyperventilation caused from the nightmare you just had. The storm outside sends a horrible shake straight through to your bones so you sit up and tap Luke softly.

"Lukey," you squeak, "Lukey wake up." 

He fidgets around a little before eventually sitting up and wiping his eyes clean of sleep. Upon seeing you it’s as if his senses wake up almost immediately and he puts his hand on your shoulder and rubs softly.

"Hey, hey what’s the matter?"

"I’m scared," You say as if you were a child again. "I’m really scared." 

You wimp your way into his arms and snuggle right into the crook of his neck between his broad shoulders and neck. Surprisingly it’s really comfy even though his body is as toned as anything. He grabs the back of your head with his two hands and embraces you really tight to his body. The contrast between his steady heart beats and your overpowering heartbeats is emphasised when his bare chest makes contact with your body through your thin shirt. 

"I promise i’ll always be here for you, I’ll  protect you from whatever monster it is." 

You pull at his hair and nod your head frantically, digging into his skin a little more. He notices you flinch as thunder and random noises occur around outside so he lays you down and makes sure you face him while he distracts you and sings to you until you fall asleep instead. 

Mikey: It was the biggest relief to you when Mikey woke you up from your nightmare. It was absolutely terrible so when Mikey shook you awake from your unconscious squirming and unease you were so relieved. Waking up to his beautiful, mysterious eyes was exactly what you needed. At first you were confused, but when you familiarised yourself with the pair, you pulled him towards you and kissed his squishy cheek frantically. He giggled and grabbed you so that you two were hugging whilst lying down in bed. Embracing each other like a child would embrace a teddy bear. 

"MIkey I love you. I love you." 

"Hey," He laughs, "I love you too but what’s all this about?" 

"I had a horrid dream that’s all." 

You sink your head into his chest and breathe in his scent because it was familiar and reminded you of home. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks as he puts his hand up the back of your shirt and massages your bare back the way you like it. You shake your head and as you do so you snuggle into his chest a little more making him pull you closer. 

"Okay then we should go back to sleep now. Maybe-" He pulls you over to him so that you were now lying on top of him as if he was your new mattress, "maybe you should sleep like this so that if you do get another nightmare I can wake you up straight away. But you won’t now- because i’ll hold you. I won’t let you go." 

his heart beat against your ear is enough for you to trust him and sure enough, you sleep right through the night.

Calum: When you woke up from the bad dream the first thing your eyes adjusted to was Calum’s big, brown eyes looking back at you as if examining you. His phone was in his hands but he was fully concerned with you. 

"Baby, are you okay? You didn’t seem to be sleeping very well." 

It was his first night back and though you didn’t tell him, since he had been gone you have had nightmares ever since. Now he was here, you were still having nightmares, and he had jet lag which meant he had been watching you fidget and squeal in your sleep right from the beginning.
