If You Have Ghost One Shots...You Have Everything

A Deadly Nightmare (Rain)

"RAIN PLEASE RAIN HELP ME!" You scream while two clergy members drag you away. Rain claws, kicks, and screams your name while being held down by several other masked figures. You reach for him, the fear evident in your eyes. He calls for you one last time while you're dragged out of your room. The sound of your screams echoing through the halls only makes his strength grow. He finally gets free from the grips held on him, and sprints as fast as he can towards you. He rounds the corner to the cathedral, but he is too late. You're being held down on the altar, Nihil chanting a sacrifice with a dagger above his head. He runs up the steps of the altar and throws himself over you. Your faces are only inches apart. He feels the knife enter him, the burning sensation of metal against muscle, bone, and tendons is ignored. He looks in your eyes, begging that you're okay, but they dull, a small drop of blood falls from the corner of your mouth. Rain screams, the knife still keeping you connected. Nihil pulls out the blade, Rain coughs up some blood, collapses beside you and weekly holds you to him, he takes his last breath.

"SATAN RAIN WAKE UP!" You scream, shaking your boyfriend awake. He kept whimpering your name, but it soon turned to screaming and thrashing. He's had this nightmare every night for the past few days, but each time the ending differs. He tries to explain to you that no matter what he does you die, but he starts panicking and can never articulate the graphic ending of these images. You straddle his hips, but pull back once his withering stops. You now sit at the edge of the bed watching him. Rain sits upright, sweat covering his face and chest, he quickly reaches for you and practically tackles you, "Y/N NO! NO NO I WON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU!" He screams at the door, holding you tightly to his chest. One hand holds your head against his pounding heart, the other stays possessively at your lower back. He growls at the door, his eyes red and with slits. You look up at him terrified, he never came out of a dream like this. Normally he would just sit up quietly, sit on the edge of the bed, and breathe through it,

"Rain, Rain no one is here, I'm fine." You try to soothe, it doesn't help. He just holds you tighter. His entire body shakes, his muscles tense, and his breath is ragged. You free one of your hands from being trapped in between your chests. You put your hand on his cheek, he immediately softens under your touch, but his eyes are still glued to the door, "Rain, baby, please, please look at me." He only growls, softer this time, but it's still a growl. You get on your knees in front of him, both hands resting on his cheeks, forcing his eyes to look into yours, "Rain, I am right here, I am right here, please, please come out of this." He takes a deep breath and studies your features. Your eyes are bright, full of love and beauty. His breath starts to calm down. You kiss all around his face, "There you go Rain, there you go babe, I'm so proud of you." You mumble between kisses.

After a few more reassuring words, his hands wrap around your waist, less protectively, but more in a loving way. He whispers apologies and 'i love you's' while you play with his hair slightly. After a few more seconds, his demeanor returns to normal, "Okay, what happened?" You ask pulling back, desperate for him to finally get an answer. He takes a shaky breath, looks over at the door, and looks back at you, "I keep having these vivid dreams of you being taken away from me and sacrificed on the altar." You look at him, concern filling your eyes. Sometimes ghouls can have future seeing abilities, but Rain has never had them before, "What happens, tell me in detail." You urge, still running your fingers through his hair. He takes a shaky breath, "Well, we, we go to bed, then a bunch of people storm into the room. I try to fight them off but six of them pin me down and two drag you out. You just scream my name and beg me to help you, but I can't." You stop playing with his hair and wipe away a few tears that escape his eyes, "I do break free, but I'm always just too late." He starts crying into your shoulder, "Tell me how this one ends, Rain."

He shakes his head no, sobbing harder, "Tell me." You demand, more fear filling your voice. He takes a breath and rests his head on your shoulder, "I tried to sacrifice myself, I laid over you as Nihil brought down the knife, but it went through both of us. You-you died looking into my eyes, and I-I held you while I died, then I woke up." He sobbed as he finished recounting the nightmare, "Oh Rain, I-" You start crying too. Hearing how graphic his nightmares are you understand why he reacts the way he does every night. You both sit there for a while holding each other until you break the silence,

"Rain, listen to me." He pulls back and looks into your eyes, "I know that Nihil wouldn't dare try and sacrifice me. You know that every ghoul and most of the siblings would all come to my defense. Besides, you know I can defend myself better than anyone here." You were right. You were the best warrior in your class. That's how you met the ghouls anyway, you are their bodyguard, "Rain, I swear, I will never, ever leave you." You start to cry, knowing that he loves you more than anything on this planet and seeing him breakdown every night worries you more and more, "No, no Y/n don't cry, don't cry my dove." Rain coos, wiping away your tears, "I swear, I'll never let anyone touch you." He promises. He places a gentle kiss on your lips, you melt into it, "Now let me sleep!" You say dramatically. He laughs, "I'm sorry my love." He says laying you beside him. You rest your head on his shoulder as his left arm cushions your head, his right hand rests on your waist. Your left arm rests on his cheek, "Never be, love. I'll be here for you always."
