Ian had been getting nightmares for weeks now and every night they would worsen.they made him question if he really was going crazy or if his meds weren't working because of how real the nightmares felt and how insane they were.hes been getting them every night for the last few weeks,he was exhausted,he was lucky if he was able to get even 2 hours of sleep before the nightmares woke him.
mickey comforted him every time it happened,mickey has always been the only person who can truly calm him down,even his touch or the sound of his voice is enough,but ian could see that mickey was getting frustrated by getting woke up in the middle of the night to his boyfriend screaming and gasping for air.
............................................................................
It's 3:10am,mickey sleeping peacefully and softly snoring with his head resting in the crook of ians neck,laying on top of him.ian finally manages to doze off 5 minutes later,holding his boyfriend tightly in his arms.
Of course that doesn't last long. About 30 minutes later ian wakes up gasping for air,frightened and sobbing,he knows that it was just a nightmare,that it wasn't real,but he can never seem to be able to get himself to belive it at the time.
Mickey groans at all the noise and the violent wake up,he knew what was happening straight away,just like every night these last few weeks,but he had had enough with being woke up like this every fucking night.
"FOR FUCK SAKES GALLAGHER! PISS OFF" he yelled and instantly regrets it.
He pushes his weak boyfriend off of the bed and onto the floor before turning his back on him and trying to go back to sleep.
"i-im s-sorry mick" ian stutters,tears still crashing down his face.he stands up from the floor with struggle and hurries out of the bedroom door to leave mickey alone.
As soon as his weeping boyfriend slams the door shut,mickey sits up.
"shit shit Shit" he panicks,holding his tears back,in this moment he hates himself more then ever,how could he treat the one person he loves more than anything and anyone like this,he was supposed to be there for him and comfort him no matter what.he jumps out of bed and hurried out of the door to
find the love of his life curled up into a ball on the couch rocking back and forth still trying to calm himself,tears still slowly falling on his freckled filled face.
Mickey quickly holds him in his arms,feeling ians body slightly relax.
"im sorry baby,I'm so fuckin sorry" mick says running his fingers through his lovers soft,orange hair.he kisses his head and then forehead, softly rubbing his back.
"Please calm down baby" he whispers into ians hair,lifting ians chin up to look at him, "look at me" he says in a begging,soft tone. Ian lifts his head from mickeys chest,as soon as the forest eyes meet the ocean eyes,they both soften,ians tears stop and mickey caresses his skin with his thumb,wiping his tears away.giving him a soft,gentle kiss on the lips and ian leaning in for another one or two.still holding onto eachother.as mickey realises ians eyes slowing shutting, "let's go back to bed hm frecks?" (mick calls ian freckles as a pet name,frecks for short) ian just nods his head giving mickey a small sleepy smile.
As they lay in bed,ian puts his head on mickeys chest (it would usually be mickey putting his head on ians chest but mickey knows how sleepy and fragile he feels after bad nightmares and he needs mickeys comfort,and only his.)
He puts a hand around mickeys waist and his eyes shut,as mickey rubs ians back.
"I love you mick,I'm sorry for all this"
Ian mumbles
"I love you more freckles" mick sighs "and don't apologise,its not ur fault that ur a little sap,hm?" mickey jokes and snorts,ruffling ians hair,as ian slightly whines in offence and protest but can't help but let a small smirk form on his lips.
"But I think we should probably go see a doctor,ya know see what they say about all the nightmares...and shit" mickey looks down at ian expecting an answer to see him curled up on his chest,in a deep peaceful sleep,snoring softly with a slight smile on his pretty face.mick admires the beautiful freckled faced boy sleeping on his chest,before slowly drifting off aswell,resting his head on his boyfriends. Finally getting the sleep that they both so desperately need.
the end❤️
