Steve Harrington x (m/r)

short chapter

(m/r) POV

    For some reason I had been having nightmares and I haven't told Steve. Sometimes he comes home from work and I just say that I was waiting for him. He believes me because I've done it before and I can sleep when he's with me. Today was like every other night, another nightmare.

    This time I had a nightmare about a monster chasing me. Steve had told me about a monster but he didn't give me much information. He didn't want me involved but I trust him that he'll tell me later. But this was just like the monster he mentioned.

    The strange thing was that I've seen that monster before. When Steve and I first met I guess I had woken up from a coma. I guess I had been attacked but it was like my nightmare. This was now a reoccurring thing I think about but I shouldn't tell Steve it would worry him.

    When I open my eyes I lay on the bed holding tightly onto the sheets, afraid. The only feeling I felt was fright and I didn't move a single inch. But then I hear a thumping noise and I stand up slowly. I grab my bat from under the bed and I walk around the room.

    After checking I found nobody was there and I decide to stay in the room. I lay on the bed leaving the bat on the floor. But then I start to fall asleep and I feel scared of what I might dream of. When I wake up again I take shaky breaths and I look around.

    Then I hear footsteps and I see Steve peeking through the door. I close my eyes trying to make my breathing sound normal. He changes into some sweatpants and into a tank top. Then he walks to me and lays next to me.

    Steve cuddles up to me and I turn keeping my eyes closed hugging him tightly. "I love you (m/r) goodnight." He whispers softly and I squeeze holding onto him. "Are you ok (m/r)?"

    I open my eyes and look at him with soft teary eyes. "Steve I'm- I've just been having bad nights lately." He looks at me worriedly and holds me closer to him. Then he hugs me and kisses my forehead.

    "(m/r) don't worry I will protect you, forever, I promise." Then Steve puts the blanket over our shoulders making us warmer. As we lay together I cry as he rubs my back with his warm hands. "It's okay (m/r) just let it out I'm not going anywhere."

    Soon I stop crying and I look up at him and he smiles. "Do you want to tell me about your dream? You don't have to if you don't want to." I shake my head and then I take a deep breath.

    "Steve I have a confession, lately I've been having dreams about... it. That monster but it was like I was in a coma again. But I got out of it and I feel better about it- it still scares me. I'm sorry for never saying anything about it earlier Steve."

    He lays there listening to me talk and only brings me closer to him. "At least your telling me now, but next time just tell me." "But I don't want to burden you, you have better thing to worry about." "You are what's to worry about, (m/r) I love you no matter what."

    We stare at each other and I hug him, he chuckles hugging me back with a smile. "I think we should try and sleep, I'll stay awake until you fall asleep." He smiles and I sigh looking at him but I fall asleep shortly after. When I wake up we were still together and I smile as he kisses my forehead.
