{OKAY BEFORE I START! 25K READS?! OH MY GOD!!!} {okay, continue...}

--(Mikes POV)--

I was sleeping peacefully, when my slumber was interrupted with a loud scream. I shout up, and looked over at Jeremy, hoping it wasn't him who had screamed...

Jeremy's clover eyes were wider then saucers as sweat and tears dripped down his face. His breath was quick, and I went to reach out and comfort him, when he shrieked and moved away.

"D-Don't touch me...!" He yelled, springing off the bed. "D-Don't come near me..!"

My eyes widened slightly. "J..Jeremy, I'm here to help y--"

"No! D-don't... Don't come n-near me..!" He cried, stepping away. "J..Just don't..!"

"Jeremy, listen to me, okay..? I can help you, but you have to come back here and sit on the bed..." My calm voice rang though the quiet room.

"...H..How do I k-know I can t-trust you....?" He said quietly, stepping towards the bed.

"Because, I would never hurt you..." I say, waving him over. He takes small hesitant steps towards me, before sitting on the bed. I wrap him in a hug, not letting go when he tries to get away.

"L-Let me g-go...!" He screams. I stay quiet, but don't let go. After a while, he gave in and started crying into my bare chest. I started petting his hair, and when I spoke, my voice wasn't higher then a quiet mumble.

"Shh... It's okay..." I said quietly. I remember a short song my mother would sing to me. It was mostly when I was sick, but it calmed me down a lot.

"Soft kitty,
Warm kitty,
Little ball of fur.

Happy kitty,
Sleepy kitty,
Purr, purr, purr..." I sang quietly. Jeremy's sharp breaths slowed down, and he snuggled into my chest.

"Shh... You're okay now... Nothing will hurt you .." I coo slightly. Jeremy got quiet for a quick second, before sobbing more.

"B..But in my d-dream...." He starts, being cut off with a loud sob.

"What happened in your dream, Jere...?" I said. His next words froze me in my tracks.

"In my d-dream.... You w-were the one h-hurting me..."

--(Jeremy's POV)--

Mike froze, his broad body tensing at my words.

"Jeremy... Why would you..." He trails off, and I hiccuped.

"I..I d-don't...." I cut myself off with another sob, burying my face further into Mikes chest.

"Jeremy, look at me..." Mike said. I couldn't bring myself to move my head, but Mike put is pointer and middle fingers under my chin, making me look at him.

"Jeremy Andrew Fitzgerald, listen to me. I. Would. NEVER. Hurt. You..! I don't know why you had that nightmare, I don't know why you would ever think I would hurt you... But I know I would never do that. Sure, I might hurt you accidentally like elbowing you while cooking, or hurting you in another way on accident... But I would never do that to you on purpose.
Please don't ever think I would..." His voice started cracking towards the end of his rant..thing, and my heart shattered.

"I..I'm sorry... Don't be s-sad..." I say.

He smiles. "I smile when you smile, Jerebear... so, smile for me...?"

I hesitated, but gave a small smile.

"I love you~" we said at the same time.
