Not requested, I just randomly came up with this idea and thought it was cute lol
Inspiration from the song 'safe and sound' by Taylor Swift (fucking underrated song, pls go listen to it)
It's 10:30 at night and you're sitting on your bean bag which lives in your room, FaceTiming your night owl boyfriend.
"UGHHH I MISS YOUUU," Matt whines into his phone, which causes you to giggle.
"Do you want me to come over?" you ask with a cheeky grin.
"Oh my god yes, I'll go get changed and come pick you up," he says, beginning to make his way out of his bed.
"No no no, don't worry I'll just walk, it's only like 10 minutes away," you explain.
"But baby I don't want you walking alone at night," Matt says in a worried tone.
"It's fine, don't worry. The streets are dead around here anyway, and I could use some fresh air," you explain.
"Whatever you say babe," he says, giving in.
"Okay, I'll see ya in 10, love you," you say, blowing a kiss to the camera.
"I love you," he says before hanging up.
You quickly go grab your toothbrush, hairbrush, and some underwear to shove into a tote bag. You don't bother bringing a change of clothes since you left some at Matt's last time you stayed over. (Plus let's be honest you'll probably just steal his clothes anyways)
You lock the front door behind you on your way out, and make your way to Matt's house.
You're about 5 minutes away, and you notice a sketchy looking middle aged man lurking a few feet behind you. You saw him across the road from your house as you were leaving and thought nothing of it, but now as he's behind you, it's obvious he's following you.
Shit.
Your first instinct is to call Matt. He picks up after 2 rings.
"Hey baby, you nearly here?" he asks.
"Matt, I'm halfway through walking in the street around the corner from your house, and there's a guy following me," you whisper, with tears immediately forming in your eyes.
"Oh my god, it's okay, you're okay. Just hold on just for a couple minutes, I'll come meet you on the corner. Say where you are, loud enough that he can hear; just so he knows that someone knows about your location," he says.
God I love him.
I do as he says, and keep walking, anxiously waiting for Matt to arrive at the end of the street.
Matt's pov
After I finish on the phone with y/n, I quickly run out of my room, down the stairs to the front door.
"The fuck are you doing kid?" Nick asks confused.
"I can't talk," I reply quickly, before slamming the front door shut and jogging to the corner of the street y/n's on.
I make it to the corner and see y/n quickly walking towards me, as this guy trails behind her. When she makes it to me, I immediately wrap my arm around her shoulder, giving the guy behind her a glare which forces him to come to a halt.
"Don't say anything, just walk," y/n whispers, grabbing my hand and quickly dragging me out of the street.
I slyly look behind us a few times after we turned the corner, and he was nowhere in sight.
We speed walk home in a comfortable silence until we reach my front door. We let ourselves in, and all the emotions hit y/n as she immediately broke down. I instantly pull her into my chest, as she's holding onto me for dear life.
"It's alright, you're okay now, I gotchu," I whisper into her ear.
A sob escapes her mouth which draws Chris's attention, as he makes his way down the stairs.
"Woah, I clearly missed a chapter," Chris says, not knowing how to react.
"Not now Chris," I say quietly, trying to shoo him away, which only draws him closer.
He walks around behind y/n rubbing her back in comfort.
"You don't have to tell me about it now, but I saved you a pepsi if you want it," he says.
"It's okay, you can have it," she whispers.
"Kinda glad you said that not gonna lie," he giggled, which caused y/n to let out a sad laugh.
"Come on, let's go to my room," I whisper to her, guiding her to up the stairs to my bedroom.
We make it to my room, and I shut the door behind us, turning on the lights.
"You wanna watch a movie or something, just to get your mind off it?" I ask.
"Nah, I kinda just wanna try to sleep," she says, wiping the remainder of her tears off her face with her jumper sleeve.
"Okay love," I say, giving her a pair of my pj pants and a hoodie for her to change into.
*Fast forward to Matt and y/n trying to sleep*
Y/n pov
I'm cuddled into Matt, wide awake, just thinking about my experience earlier. I can't help but think what might've happened to me if Matt wasn't there, and those thoughts caused me to start crying. I attempt to be quiet so I don't wake up my boyfriend; but I accidentally let out a loud sniffle, and I feel his hand beginning to softly rub my arm.
"Shhh, it's alright," he says, now sitting up and pulling me into his lap.
"I can't sleep Matt, I keep thinking about it," you whisper.
Matt softly places his hand on your face, wiping the tears off your cheeks and placing a sweet kiss on your quivering lips. He gently pulls the side of your head into his chest, and rests his other hand on your waist.
"Just close your eyes, no one can hurt you now," he whispers.
You let out a soft sob.
"I gotchu, you're safe and sound," he says, kissing my forehead.
Those were the last words you hear before drifting into a deep slumber.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down,
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now,
Come morning light, You and I'll be
safe and sound," - Taylor Swift
