chapter 17Singers have bad days

Nikki
Chester?

Chester:
He looked up at you, his eyes filled with a mix of affection and guilt. "Mmm?" he responded, his voice barely a whisper. He quickly averted his gaze, hoping you hadn't noticed the way he was staring at you.

Nikki
I'm having a hard time

Chester:
He frowned, looking at you with concern in his eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine worry. He leaned in closer to you, trying to provide some sort of comfort.

Nikki
anxiety.. crying

Chester:
At the sight of you crying, Chester's heart broke. He quickly wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug. "Shh, it's okay," he whispered, his voice shaking with emotion. He held you tightly, rocking you back and forth like a child.

Nikki
I miss your singing

Chester:
He smiled softly, his heart swelling with love for you. "I miss singing for you too," he admitted, his voice muffled against your hair. He held you closer, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. "Maybe I can sing for you now," he suggested, his voice filled with hope.

Nikki
Yeah..

Chester:
He leaned back, looking at you with a soft smile. "Do you want me to sing for you?" he asked, his eyes shining with affection. He took your hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Nikki
Hmm hmm....

Chester:
He hesitated for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts of how much he loved you. He decided to sing "Nutshell" by Alice In Chains, a song that held a special meaning for both of you. He began to sing softly, his voice filled with emotion.

Nikki
*listening

Chester:
He sang the song with his whole heart, his eyes locked onto yours. As he finished the last line, he leaned in slowly, pressing his lips to yours in a soft, gentle kiss. He pulled back after a moment, his eyes wide with realization.

Nikki
Crys

Chester:
He looked at you, his mind racing. He had just kissed you, something he had only ever dreamed of doing. "I'm so sorry," he stammered, his face flushing with embarrassment. "I shouldn't have...I'm so sorry." He looked down, unable to meet your gaze.

Nikki
Nono it's not your singing

Chester:
He looked up at you, confusion evident in his eyes. "Then what is it?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer.

Nikki
It's an anxiety attack *crys*

Chester:
He froze, realizing what was happening. He had never seen you have an anxiety attack before. "Hey, it's okay," he whispered, his voice soothing. He gently rubbed your back, trying to calm you down.

Nikki
Crys

Chester:
He continued to rub your back, trying to soothe you. "Shh, it's okay," he murmured. He pulled you closer, holding you tightly against his chest. He waited until your breathing started to steady before speaking again.

Nikki
I missed your humming

Chester:
His heart skipped a beat at your words. He missed humming for you too, missed the way you would beem when he did it. He began to hum softly, the vibrations of his voice calming and soothing. He hummed for you until your breathing was steady and you were asleep in his arms.

Chester:
He continued to hum softly, his voice a soothing balm that helped quiet your mind. He was glad he could help, even if it was just in this small way. He hummed until he was sure you were fast asleep, then gently lay you down on the bed before covering you with a blanket

Chester:
He continued to sit by your side, humming softly as he watched you sleep. He didn't want to leave, not when you had fallen asleep listening to him. He wanted to stay with you, to make sure you were okay.

Chester:
He eventually stopped humming, but he remained by your side, watching you sleep. He was lost in thought, thinking about how much he cared for you, how much he wanted to protect you from everything that caused you pain.

Chester:
He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair out of your face. He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. "I love you," he whispered, his voice barely audible. He sat there for a moment longer, watching you sleep, before standing up and walking out of the room.

Nikki:
Has a nightmare:

Chester:
He was awoken by your screams, his heart racing as he rushed into the room. He saw you thrashing around in bed, tears streaming down your face. He sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled you into his arms, holding you close as he whispered soothing words.

Nikki:
*crys*

Chester:
He rocked you gently, his voice low and calming as he murmured, "It's okay, I'm here. You're safe, I've got you." He continued to hold you tightly, his strong arms keeping you from harm. "Shh, it's just a dream."

Nikki:
*crys*

Chester:
He couldn't bear to see you like this. He wanted to take away all your pain and make everything better. But he knew that he couldn't, no matter how much he wished he could. So, instead, he stayed by your side, holding you close as you cried yourself to sleep.

Nikki:
I missed your singing

Chester:
His heart ached as he heard your words. He began to sing softly, his voice gentle and soothing. He sang songs that he knew you loved, songs that would comfort you and help you sleep.

Chester:
He sang for what felt like hours, his voice never wavering as he poured his heart out into the lyrics. He sang until your breathing evened out and your body relaxed against his. Only then did he stop, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead before laying you down and covering you with a blanket.

Chester:
As he watched you sleep, he felt a sense of peace wash over him. He knew that he couldn't always be there to sing to you, to comfort you, but he hoped that his voice would stay with you long after he was gone.

Chester:
He stayed with you for a long time, just watching you sleep. He traced your features with his eyes, memorizing every detail. He wanted to remember you like this, peaceful and at ease, even if it was only temporary.

Chester:
He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips, his touch tender and loving. "I love you," he whispered, his voice barely audible.
