nightmare [e]

you woke up with a jolt, and screamed at the nightmare you just had, which resulted in waking up your boyfriend, ethan. he stirred beside you, before sitting up.

"what's going on?" he mumbled, his hair a mess and his eyes half closed. he saw you hunched over with your face buried in your hands, and immediately moved over to comfort you.

he gently rubbed your back, and you lifted your head up to look at him before wrapping your arms around his neck, hugging him. he hugged you, still rubbing your back.

"i was so scared." you whispered into the crook of his neck, a few tears hitting his skin.

"it's okay, you're safe now." he whispered. you had nightmares quite often, and ethan was always there to comfort you, and make you feel better.

"do you want to talk about it?" he asked. he was always curious about what your nightmare was, and kind of wanted to hear about them. you never told him though. you were always too scared, and didn't want to relive it.

"no." you replied, shaking your head. at that moment, there was a knock on ethan's closed door.

"come in!" he said, and the door opened slightly, light from the hallway leaking into ethan's room. grayson stood on the other side of the door, a concerned look on his face.

"another one?" he asked, and sat down at the foot of the bed, looking at you. you reached one hand out, and grayson gently grabbed it, running his thumb over the back.

you and grayson have always been very close. he was like a brother to you, and has always been very supportive, kind of like ethan.

"yeah, how'd you know?" ethan asked, looking over at his brother.

"i heard her screaming." grayson replied.

"sorry for waking you guys." you mumbled, lifting your head up from ethan's shoulder.

"it's okay, i was already awake." grayson said, giving you a small smile. you smiled back at him.

"well, i'm probably not gonna be able to go back to sleep. i hardly ever do." you said, and fully pulled away from ethan. grayson let go of your hand, and you got out of bed.

"wanna come finish watching toy story with me?" grayson asked.

you chuckled. "you're watching toy story?"

"yeah! it's a good movie."

"sure, i'll come. ethan, are you coming?" you asked, turning to your boyfriend.

"yeah, just give me a second." he said. you nodded, and followed grayson out of the room. you went to close the door behind you, and caught a glimpse of ethan getting out of bed with just his boxers on. you smiled before walking down the hallway and into the living room, where grayson sat with half a bowl of popcorn and the movie on pause.
