CHAPTER FORTY-ONE | YOU ARE LIKE A MASTERPIECE TO ME

WIK

Wik is woken up by the soft and warm body shaking in his arms and frantic voice, begging to stop... to let him go. Wik caresses Non's hair and carefully moves him into his lap, holding him close to his chest.

"N-no, no... don't shoot, please. No... why are you doing this? Why—"

Wik sighs. He expected Non to have nightmares after the kidnapping, but it still hurts like hell, seeing him like that. He presses his lips to Non's forehead and says gently, "wake up, Non. Wake up, mine. It's just a dream, just a dream... shh... it's okay. I'm here. I'm here."

"No, no, no... don't hurt him... please..." Non buries his face into Wik's chest. Eyes still closed, still in the nightmare.

Wik takes Non's face into the palm of his hands and says again, "Non, open your eyes. You are safe. I love you."

Non's body goes still for a moment. No more shaking. No more erratic breathing. His eyes slowly flutter open, and the way he says Wik's name almost tears Wik apart. It's so vulnerable, so broken. Wik hugs Non tightly, lips softly pressing a kiss to Non's neck.

"It's okay. It was just a bad dream."

"I'm sorry," Non mumbles, hands desperately holding onto Wik. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry, little diamond?" Wik kisses Non's temple. "You don't have to apologise for having a nightmare. Just tell me if you feel better now."

Non is always apologising for things he doesn't have to. Wik wants Non to know that with him, Non doesn't have to apologise for anything. Especially not for the things that are hurting him. Wik just had the most amazing night of his life. And he knows... at least he hopes that Non feels the same. He doesn't want this night to be ruined because of a nightmare. And he definitely doesn't want this night to be ruined because of Non feeling guilty over anything.

Non ducks his head, his fingers playing with the blanket, "everything was so perfect. We were so happy... I was so happy. But then I had to have a nightmare—"

"And?" Wik tips Non's chin up. "And what that you had a nightmare? It isn't your fault. It didn't ruin anything. Non," Wik takes Non's hand in his, "it's completely normal that you had a nightmare after what you went through recently. It probably won't be the only nightmare you'll have because of it. And it's okay. I'm here for you. I'm here to love you, protect you... I'm here to make all your wishes come true. I'm here to make sure you'll heal. And I'm here to make sure that from now on you'll always be happy. As happy as you make me with a simple smile, you are willing to share with me. You never have to apologise to me for struggling. I'm more than happy to struggle with you."
