Summary: Y/n has nightmares so she try's not to sleep. Theo notices how sleep deprived she is and try's to help.
Prompt: "Are you still tired? Here lean against me" - "When was the last time you slept?"
"Are you still tired? Here l;ean against me." Theo offered his arms wide open for her to lean into him.
"I shouldn't." Y/n shook her head looking away from him.
"Why not?" Theo furrowed his brow.
"I'm afraid." She mumbled looking down at her lap.
There was silence for a while and during that time Theo was thinking about why Y/n might be afraid to sleep, and then it hit him.
"That I'll disappear again?" Even though it was meant as a question it came out as a statement.
"Hmmmhmm." Y/n scooting closer to him, she will look at him, she didn't feel brave enough to.
"I'm right here. I won't leave you." Theo spoke softly to her while putting Y/n into him, wrapping her up tightly in his embrace.
"It might not be your choice." Y/n said out loud but quite enough that if he wasn't supernatural he wouldn't have heard it. She finally looked up at him after she spoke.
Y/n was afraid if she closed her eyes Theo would be taken from her. Again. Even if the last time was because Theo told her to close her eyes she wouldn't have to see him dragged to Hell it still scared her.
Theo eyed her for a moment and he could tell she was really tired so he asked. "When was the last time you slept?"
Y/n looked away with a shrug. "I don't know."
Even though Y/n did know he could tell she was lying.
"I can hear your heartbeat, I know you're lying." Theo pulled back enough to look at her face.
"A week okay." Y/n sighed, half annoyed and half embarrassed to admit how long it truly had been.
"Y/n -" Theo went to scold her but then he thought on how exactly long a week has been. "You haven't slept since I came back?"
Y/n looked back at him with tears in her eyes.
"I'm afraid if I do when I open my eyes you'll be gone." She admitted in a small voice.
Theo could understand where her fears were coming from. But it hurt him to see her like this. "Please sleep. I'll be here when you wake up. But you need sleep. Please Y/n/n."
Theo reasoned Y/n pulling her to lay against him hoping his heartbeat would luol her to sleep. And it did. It worked. Theo vowed to himself that night as she slept in his arms that he was going to do everything in his power to never be taken from her again.
