Unfinished Preferences || when you have a nightmare

DISCLAIMER:
There are only a couple of these and not all the characters. These have been in my drafts since 2022 and I just decided to post them because otherwise they'd rot in my drafts.

If you want, you can come up with your own preferences in the comments for the characters that didn't get written here.

Mephone4:

"Daddy! Help!!" You would cry in the night as lightning struck the house. And Mephone4 would always walk in, tired as all hell, after you woke him up from a deep sleep.

He doesn't even ask what your nightmare was. He would just pick you up, bring you to the living room, turn on some cartoons, and bake you some cookies (since the generated ones taste awful for everyone except him).

He knows how terrifying it is to have nightmares, and he absolutely hated it when his father told him to "suck it up and go back to sleep".

Mephone4S:

4S had no idea what a nightmare was until that night. He thought someone was trying to hurt you, since other Mephones constantly try to attack him.

4S kicked your bedroom door open, shotgun in hand, only to see your cowering form under the blankets. He put the gun down and asked why you were crying, you told him about the nightmare, he didn't exactly understand, but just because he didn't understand doesn't mean he didn't see that you were terrified.

Mephone4S sat on the foot of your bed and held you close, playing a soft song from one of his music apps. You slowly fell back to sleep in his arms, he rested you back in your bed after.

It was his first time dealing with you being scared of a nightmare, but he knew it wouldn't be the last.

Paper:

The first thing he would do is ask if you're okay, and when you answer, he would then tell you to explain the nightmare to him.

Most of your nightmares involve your dad turning into his split evil personality, since you were still being raised when Evil Paper appeared.

He didn't think you would remember, especially since you were still a small infant at the time. But, besides that, Paper would let you sleep in his bed for the night.

Knife:

Knife would always let out a soft sigh before getting out of bed, nightmares and night-terrors are quite normal for you, since he lets you watch a lot of horror movies.

"Kid, what's wrong?" He's ask, sitting down at the foot of your bed. You would tell him about your nightmare and he would always bring you to his room and let you sleep in his bed for the night.

And if you have a horrible nightmare or night-terror to the point where you're in tears or having a panic attack, he'll let you sleep with Dora.

MePad:

MePad had no idea you could even have nightmares, or dreams, since you are a machine. But Steve Cobs did create you to be exactly like a real child, so having nightmares is most likely part of your programming.

He was surprised, but he wanted you to stop crying your digital tears, you could overheat.

"Please stop crying, (Y/n), it's not good for your circuits to continue with this," He would say, not sure of how to calm you down.

Eventually, MePad would have to play a soothing audio to help you calm down. It actually made you go back to sleep, while leaning on him. If he could smile, he would've at your small sleeping form.
