METAMORPHOSISThe next morning, I wake up with a jolt, sighing in relief when I see a familiar brown haired head next to me.
Thank goodness.
Placing a hand over my heart, I move as quietly and slightly as possible so as to not wake him.
Minutes later, however, Peter wakes up with a yawn, blinking a few times as he senses movement on the bed.
"Hey." Peter sleepily greets, shifting on the bed so that he's facing me.
When I don't respond, he opens his eyes with a slight frown.
"You okay?" He asks.
"Yeah. I'm okay." I say, resting my chin on my knees as I let out a soft breath.
"Are you sure?" He insists, sitting up.
"It was just a bad dream." I say, pursing my lips as we make eye contact.
"What kind of bad dream?"
"Well..." I begin, but then shake my head, voice trailing off as I recall what the dream was about.
"Ness?" Peter calls out, placing a hand on my knee. His eyes carefully search mine but he doesn't press.
In the end, I give in.
"It was about you." I say, looking away. "Someone was going after you and you were hurt, and...yeah...that kind of dream."
"It's okay." He says softly, his thumb drawing circles on my knee.
"It was just a dream. I'm still here." He reassures, giving me a soft, warm hug. "I'm okay."
"Y-yeah, I know." I say with a nod, shutting my eyes tight as I hug him back.
"How are your bruises?"
He asks as we break apart.
"Not sure, but they don't hurt as much anymore." I say with a smile. "You?"
"Same here." He says, the two of us letting out a slight chuckle, interrupted when I wince.
"What's wrong?" Peter immediately asks.
"My eyes hurt." I say, shutting my eyes tight, softly applying pressure on my eyelids as the burning, hot sensation increases. "Maybe because of the crying?" I suggest, peaking one eye open.
"Let me see." Peter says, scooting closer to me as open my eyes and look at him.
"Woah." He says, his eyes widening.
"What is it?" I ask, biting the inside of my cheek.
"Well, I don't want you to freak out but, your eyes are glowing blue." He says in the calmest of ways, his eyes carefully watching for my reaction.
