Flaming Love(Axel x Reno)

Day 2: Horrible nightmares and a comforting touch

   Tortuous, hellish memories of my father's abuse rang through my skull as I slept, filling my dreams with suicidal nightmares. Fighting back my father, my efforts proved to be futile as I saw him draw a knife, but as he drew close, something pulled me from the ceiling, making me scream.
Bolting upright with a yell, I glanced at my surroundings, I grew anxious and pulled back the covers, wincing as my uncovered feet touched the frozen hardwood. Opening my door, I creeped down the hall, not wanting to wake up Reno.
Stumbling into the kitchen, I flicked on the light, marvelling at how big his kitchen was. Sitting at the center counter, I grabbed an Apple from a massive fruit bowl, grinning as I took a colossal bite, juice running down my chin. Wiping it off, I grew scared when I heard footsteps. Hiding in a corner, I prayed for my safety, sobbing quietly.

Crouching down, Reno whispered gently in my ear, trying to calm me down. "Axel, snap out of it! You're dad's not here, it's just you and me, remember? I took you in to protect you."

Sobbing and shaking, I clutched Reno for dear life, barely able to talk. "R-Reno, I-I-I-I was s-s-so scared he'd find me... and kill me."

Cooing softly, Reno flicked my nose and kissed me. "I'll always protect you, for as long as I'm alive, promise."

Blushing, I yelled when Reno picked me up, rubbing my back to soothe my nerves. Walking to my room, Reno set me down under my covers, crawling into bed next to me, securing my peaceful sleep.
