Obey me! One-shots vol. 2

Sleep talking || Belphie

"Y/n..?" Belphie said as he knocked on your bedroom door.

"Door's open!" You said, sitting on your bed while looking for a movie to watch.

Belphie sleepily shuffled into your room with a pillow in his hand. You looked at him with amusement, waiting for whatever he had to say.

"I can't sleep...is it okay if I crash here?" Belphie asked.

"Haha sure...I'll sit on the floor so I don't disturb you." You chuckled.

"What? No...I want to sleep with you. You don't mind that, do you?" Belphie said.

"N-Not at all, haha..." You blushed.

"Hehe, thanks...I'll make it up to you later." He smiled.

You scooted over to give Belphie some room. He then sat next to you and laid his head on your lap. You pulled your hands away and looked down at him in surprise. Belphie simply looked up at you with a cheeky smile.

"Can you pet my head too? It feels nice whenever you do that..." Belphie said.

You raised a brow, wondering why Belphie was acting so needy all of a sudden.

"Did...something happen?" You asked.

Belphie fell silent for a moment before shaking his head. It looked like he wanted to say something but decided not to.

"No...I just want to be with you that's all." Belphie said with a somber look.

"Belphie..." You said as you brushed the hair out of his eyes. Belphie quickly looked away and pouted, his cheeks turning pink as he did so.

"What happened, Bel?" You asked gently. Belphie let out a long sigh and sat up, sitting right next to you.

"...I can't deceive you, can I?" Belphie grumbled. You just chuckled.

"...I had a nightmare." He confessed.

"About..?" You pressed. Belphie rolled his eyes a bit, he felt ridiculous telling you this.

"You..." Belphie said as he turned to look at you, sadness clouding his eyes.

"I had a nightmare that you..." Belphie trailed off, seemingly embarrassed about what he was going to say.

"You got hurt...and I couldn't save you. I...It was my fault you were hurt and I couldn't-" He let out a frustrated sigh.

"Belphie...it was just a dream..." You said gently.

"I know, I know...but it felt so real. It felt like I really lost you, you know. It was so...ugh, I'm sorry...I know it sounds stupid but-"

"Hey, it isn't stupid, Bel. You were worried, that's all." You said as you cupped his cheek.

"It was just a nightmare. I'm here and I'm fine, okay?" You assured him. Belphie leaned into your touch and smiled weakly.

"Right...thanks, Y/n." He sighed.

"Of course...we have to look out for each other, right?" You smiled.

Belphie smiled ever so slightly before engulfing you in a hug, burying his face in the crook of your neck.

"...right" He mumbled.

Belphie sighed once more, his warm breath tickling your neck. He softly kissed your neck, trying to reassure himself that you were really in front of him and okay. Feeling your skin on his lips, Belphie felt a strange sense of need washing over him.

He felt so warm in your arms, but he wanted more. He wanted to know you wouldn't just suddenly disappear. Though he didn't want to fully admit it, his nightmare truly got to him.

As soon as he felt your touch, his desperation began to grow. He straddled your waist and nuzzled his face in the crook of your neck, trying to take it all in.

"B-Belphie..?" You stuttered.

"Mn...sorry. I'm just...really glad you're okay." Belphie said as he held you tighter.

"That bad...?" You frowned, worried about what Belphie dreamed of.

"It was...but now that I know you're okay...I think I can sleep peacefully..." Belphie yawned.

You smiled a bit, surprised by how tired he quickly got. You then ran a hand through his hair, trying your best to comfort him.

"Don't you wanna lay down? You'll be sore if you sleep like this." You chuckled.

Belphie quietly mumbled before getting off you and laying his head on your lap. You smiled and began running your hand through his hair, just like he asked earlier.

"Thanks, Y/n..." Belphie smiled before falling asleep. It always amazed you how quickly Belphie could sleep.

You continued to surf through channels while caressing Belphie's hair, reassuring him that you were still with him. After a while you found a show Satan mentioned before and decided to stick with it, letting the hours slip by.

"Y/n..."

"Hm?" You responded, still gazing at the tv.

"Y/n don't..." Belphie mumbled.

Puzzled, you looked down at Belphie and realized he was still sleeping.

"Belphie..?" You whispered.

Belphie's once peaceful expression turned to worry as he began to twitch in his sleep.

"Not again..." He whimpered. You tried shaking him awake but to no avail, it seemed like he was in deep sleep.

"Belphie...Belphie, it's okay! It's just a dream." You said, trying to soothe him.

"N-No...no no no no..." Belphie cried.

"Don't worry...It's not gonna hurt you". You said as you cupped his cheek.

Belphie's pained expression faltered as he felt your touch. He subconsciously leaned towards it, whimpering in his sleep. You brushed the hair out of his face, trailing your finger up and down his cheek, trying your best to comfort him.

"It's okay, Belphie..." You whispered. You grabbed his hand and placed it on your cheek, nuzzling your face against it.

"I'm here, okay? I'm here..." You peppered kisses to the palm of his hand.

"It's just a nightmare...it's not real..." You pressed light kisses from the tips of his fingers to his knuckles, earning a light hum from the sleeping demon.

Belphie's pained expression began to melt away, finally at peace. You smiled a bit, satisfied with your work. You continued to hold his hand as you watched tv, rubbing his knuckles every so often.

"...love you...Y/n...." Belphie mumbled.

You looked down at him surprised by the sudden comment. You laughed before leaning down and kissing his forehead, earning smile from the sleeping demon.

"Love you too, Belphie."
