you're awoken in the middle of thr night from hyunsu. he's had his nightmares again but you're here to comfort him ♡
"go back to sleep," your voice is a whisper as you speak to hyunsu. you're careful not to lose the tiredness that currently lives in your body, as well as hyunsu's. "it's okay, love. you need to sleep."
hyunsu thought it was a kind gesture when you reminded him to sleep. reminding him that it was okay to rest and not deal with all the painful thoughts that flowed through his mind. you knew how he was feeling and you also knew that sleeping was the best way to reset the mind.
"i can't." his voice was a whisper like yours, yet it was filled with sadness. you reached for his face - it was dark inside your shared room, but the light from outside outlined his face perfectly. the glow showed off his features, which you envied sometimes - he was so beautiful to you, and you hope he knew that.
"how come?" you asked, stroking his face delicately as if he was something that was fragile.
"the nightmares," he replied back, melting into your touch. "they came back before."
"oh, honey..." you frowned slightly as you continued to rub circles around his cheek, hoping it would soothe him a bit. it seemed as if it was working. but you knew hyunsu had nightmares quite often. he told you about them but didn't go into much detail as it was hard to talk about them. you just knew that you would comfort him no matter what.
"i'm sorry," he suddenly spoke. "i'm sorry for waking you. i know you have a hard time sleeping, too."
it was true. you did have a hard time sleeping recently. perhaps it was from the stress of finding a job, or maybe stressing about other small things, but hyunsu mattered to you much more than that.
"hey," you spoke softly, your fingers now moving to run through his long, black hair. it was getting long, and you loved it - it was cute on him. "you don't have to be sorry. never ever. i'm happy to be here with you- awake right now, i mean."
although you couldn't see his face fully, you knew he was smiling a bit, and so you smiled back. "thank you," he said. "what did i do to deserve you?"
"i should be asking you the same question," you returned back to him. "you are an angel that has been sent to me. i'm always grateful for you."
you heard a quiet laugh escape him - he was much calmer than before, and that made you happy. with that, you shifted forward and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead, lingering for a few moments before pulling away.
"thank you for helping me," he spoke. "i appreciate it a lot."
"of course," you replied back. "do you want to try and sleep now? or should we stay up a bit longer?"
"we should sleep," he answered. "can i hold you?"
you smiled to yourself. "yes, of course you can."
hyunsu waited as you turned around in bed before wrapping his arm around you, pulling you close and kissing the top of your head. he often did this because it was comforting to him, and he loved having you close. physical touch was one of his favorite things.
"goodnight sweetheart," you whispered. "wake me if anything happens, alright?"
"okay," he replied back. "goodnight. i love you."
"i love you too."
