My Precious Nightmare (Bill x Reader)

Part 4

(A/N): A few days ago my cat passed away, and I thought of her while listening to this song, and thought I might dedicate a chapter to her. Sorry it's really, really short.

You woke up the next morning with a suspiciously thrilling moment of complete ignorance. Then you remembered the events of yesterday, and a spasm of pain erupted at your temple. You groan and put your head in your hands. You hear a chuckle beside you. Not Teddy. You spin around and he's there, sitting cross legged on the bed. You try to punch him, but your Nightmare juts catched your fist with his hand as though it were merely a butterfly. "Well, good morning to you to, love." You fight to stop yourself from smiling. "Where is my husband?" You ask through gritted teeth. He opens his mouth to answer you, but is interuppted by Teddy entering the room with two cups of tea.

"Morning (y/n), Bill." He sat down on the bed and gave you your tea, exactly how you liked it. You take a sip and grin, the familiar taste and texture seemed to seep down your throat and spread warmth throughout from your head to the tips of your toes. You looked suspiciously between Bill and Teddy. Your husband put a hand on your shoulder. "I let him sleep here last night. I thought it more than fair. I've had you all to myself for ten years, I thought it must be his turn." You nodded, swallowing the lump in your throat, and you and him made eye contact. For a few seconds he managed to hold up the pretence, but then his crooked smirk collasped into a sad thin line, his single eye lost life and his arms fell limp by his sides. He pleaded;

You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine...

(Y/n), please,

You make me happy, when skies are grey...

I don't want to have to pretend not to care anymore.

You'll never know dear, how much I love you...

I came here meaning to tell you how sorry I am, and how very much I do not deserve an apology.

Please don't take my Sunshine away.

But I was to much of a coward. I wouldn't abandon my pride even to tell you how much I loved you.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping...

All I could do was smile and smile until it hurt, hurt so much.

I dreamt I held you in my arms...

And it hurt to know I would live forever.

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken...

And I hurt to know I wasn't welcome.

So I hung my head and I cried.

And to see you smile one more time before I go,

You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine...

Would be...good.

You make me happy, when skies are grey...

And though many would give everything to have it,

You'll never know dear, how much I love you...

Forever has never seemed like so long a time as now,

Please don't take my Sunshine away.

And I have never wanted it less.
