Mr. Gold - Curse Nightmare

Request from @theichabbieclub on Tumblr. The reader has a horrible nightmare so Mr. Gold comforts her afterwards.

My body tosses and turns on the cot in the back of the pawnshop. For the past couple of weeks I've been having strange nightmares of far away lands with even stranger people. I clutch the blanket in my hands kicking my legs aggressively trying to get away from the horrible thing, but it never works.

"You will never see Rumplestiltskin again." A Evil woman dressed all in black declared as a girl who looks an awful lot like me is thrown into a cell. Wearing a leather tunic, brown pants with black boots and hair braided down her back with some bruises on her face. The girl holds herself up by the palms of her hands scoffing. "I'm not afraid of you! You can't separate us!"

The woman opens the cell door for guards to lift the girl to her feet. "Oh but I can. By doing this!" She reaches into the girls chest to hold my heart in her hands. "You'll remain here until my curse is cast. And when it is you'll never embrace the feelings you have for him, if you try I'll crush your heart." The woman exits as the guards drop me and the door closed.

Suddenly I release a loud cry shooting up from the nightmare. My heart is racing a mile a minute before the curtain opened. Mr. Gold slowly entered the room, eyeing me with worry. "Y/n lass. What's the matter I heard you scream?" He walks with his cane pulling up a chair to sit beside the cot. Running my hands down my face I shiver resting a hand over my heart to feel my heart is still there.

"Gold it - happened again." Tears well in my eyes as I feel him rest a hand to my cheek gently. "I'm sorry. I wish I could stop them." He weakly smiled. For years I've felt something more for him than I probably should considering we've been friends for years. Some people in this town whisper he's dangerous and yet rumors also say he has a crush on me too. But I'd never do anything to ruin our friendship

I lean up wrapping my arms around his neck hugging him. He moves to the cot pulling me into his chest, one hand running softly through my hair in an attempt to calm me down. "I'm here lass. I'm right here...do you wanna try and sleep some more?" I pull my head up from his chest wiping away my tears, sniffling out. "Yeah, but um - can you stay with me?" He nods yes without a second thought.

Laying on my back he pulled the covers up to help me sleep. He holds my right hand in his using the other one to brush my hair away from my face. "Sleep dearie. I'll be right here when you wake up." He softly spoke as I let my eyes closed whispering. "Thank you, Gold." He's always been good to me. No matter what anyone says about him.
