Thinking Of Someone Else

A/N: Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was in the ER, heart problems.

You suddenly woke up with a start, drenched in sweat and with tears in your eyes. With a shaky hand, you wiped away the sweat from your forehead. Glancing to your side, you saw that your husband/wife was still lying peacefully beside you. You sighed. It had all been a dream. A nightmare.

"(Y/N)?" you heard them whisper, stirring beside you. They rubbed their eyes as they looked up at you. Frowning, they struggled to sit up. "Everything okay?" they asked again.

"I'm sorry I woke you up." you mumbled. "It was just a nightmare. I'm okay."

They nodded but their facial expression was still moulded into a mask of concern.

Slowly, they pulled you both back down onto the mattress. They lay on their left side, wrapping their arms around you. You hand came up to rest on their chest, feeling for their heart beat. It was perfectly in sync with yours.

Your wife/husband's eyelids were already drooping from exhaustion. "Go back to sleep, little love." they whispered, already re-entering a state of blissful unaware. "I'm here if you need me."

Except you didn't go back to sleep because whenever you did, the freckled-spectre would appear, with his intense blue eyes and crooked smile. Beautiful but haunting...

...and so very familiar.

A/N: Something exciting occurs tomorrow.
