Five Nights at Freddy's one-shots

Comfort fluff

Michael sat up in a cold sweat, he was aware of the tears that were already flowing from his eyes. A sob ripped from his throat and he hunched over, an uncontrollable devastation poured over him.

"Mike? You okay?" A husky voice said from behind him and there was a hand on his back. He hiccuped, incapable of getting any words out, his nose was already grossly clogged. "Baby, what's wrong, it's okay..." the voice whispered, softly pulling Michael into his chest, enveloping him in his arms.

"R-Reece!" Michael sobbed and pressed his face against Reece's bare chest. Reece didn't care about the snot or the tears, he gently pet Michael's head, not worrying with the knots in his hair. He rubbed his bare back gently with his nails.

"It's okay, Mikey. You're okay. You're safe here, look," Reece said, tilting Michael's chin up to look at him in the dark, "it's warm and dark and I've got you. You're okay, babe. It's okay." Reece repeated, a comforting cadence that Michael clung to.

"S-sorry..." he whispered, his voice was nasally as he whimpered against Reece. Reece gently shuffled down into the bed until he was laying down with Michael's head resting on his chest. He pulled the covers up both of them.

"Don't apologize for something you didn't do." Reece said softly, tightening his arms around Michael. Michael had done something. He killed his younger brother. But at the same time, he didn't know. He didn't know his brother would die. He didn't know the jaws would clamp. It was supposed to be a harmless prank that Reece was aware he took apart in. So in Reece's mind, Michael didn't do anything. Michael was innocent.

"But I-" Michael attempted, but Reece only shushed him, rubbing his arms roughly with his hands until Michael's sniffling had stopped entirely.

"Shhh... you're perfect Michael. You're perfect. You're okay, my love, everything is okay. I love you so much Michael. I know you wouldn't hurt a fly, you're okay. I love you so much more than you can imagine." Reece said. He continued to spew affirmations until he was certain Michael was asleep. He kissed his head softly before finally feeling comfortable enough to fall asleep, himself.
