Marc's Pov
"No, no,nononono no Marc I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I heard sobbing next to me as I woke up in the darkness. I looked over to the clock 3 am flashed the green digits "I do what to make a comic with you, please don't leave, I didn't mean it," Nathaniel thrashed in his sleep, trying to fight the demons in his head, in my bed. We had been working on their comic all day yesterday. It's our first sleepover as a couple. I rolled over to Nathaniel and gently shook his shoulder "Nath, Nath darling wake up, it's just a dream," I said softly but Nathaniel couldn't hear me over the voices in his head.
"I'm sorry, so sorry Marc, I do want to be your friend, I want to be more than your friend, I love you" Nathaniel sobbed, curling in on himself. After deciding that I couldn't wake him up. I scooted over to him and pulled him into my arms, resting his head in the crook of my neck. Nathaniel tried to thrash and fight me. I gently grasped his hands with one of my hands and press it to my chest. with my other hand, I gently cradled Nathaniel's head and I started to sing a lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was little and having a nightmare.
"À la claire fontaine,
M'en allant promener
J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle
Que je m'y suis baigné
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai
Sous les feuilles d'un chêne,
Je me suis fait sécher
Sur la plus haute branche,
Un rossignol chantait
Chante rossignol, chante,
Toi qui as le cœur gai
Tu as le cœur à rire,
Moi je l'ai à pleurer
J'ai perdu mon amie,
Sans l'avoir mérité
Pour un bouquet de roses,
Que je lui refusai.
Je voudrais que la rose,
Fût encore au rosier
Et que ma douce amie
Fût encore à m'aimer."
Nathaniel stopped begging for forgiveness and the sobbing slowed into hiccups and the red head stopped clawing and curled his hand up on my chest. Snuggling his head into the crook of my neck without a fight. I nuzzled my nose into his soft scarlet hair "I forgive you my love, I always will" I whispered and felt him smile against my neck. "Sleep well" I said drifting back to sleep. Dreaming of my beautiful red headed soulmate. The boys slept peacefully for the rest of the night, of course tomorrow we'd need to talk about the nightmare but until then I'd hold him close.
