My Love|| Thomas Sangster x Reader [1]

Chapter 17

You opened your eyes to reveal your dark bedroom. You were breathing heavy from the nightmare, your whole body shaking from fear. You heard thudding footsteps come towards your room, before it burst open with Thomas on the other side.
He looked alert, with wides worried eyes staring at you.
"I-I had a n-nightmare" you say, still trembling terribly. Thomas's eyes filled with relief as he walked towards you.
"I thought you were hurt or something." Thomas explained as he lay on your bed besides you. He wrapped his arms around you protectively as he laced his hands in yours, tracing little circles with his thumb to calm you down. It helped slightly, only enough to stop the shaking.
"Shh. It's okay (y/n). Shh it's alright now. You're okay." Thomas whispered in your ear. You moved so that your head was placed on his chest and you began to listen Thomas's steady heartbeat.
You stayed like that for a long time; with Thomas tracing circles lightly on your palms and you listening to his heartbeat, your head rising and falling with Thomas's chest as he breathed. Eventually you began to feel tired, and before you knew it you were asleep again, this time greeted by sweet dreams.
***************
The next morning you woke up at 7:00a.m., stiff and tired. You recognised a familiar little snore, and looked up at Thomas. You remembered what had happened last night. The horrible dream, Thomas rushing in to comfort you and you falling asleep with him. That brought a smile to your face. You looked up at him and realised he was just in some boxers, your head resting in his bare chest. A blush spread across your face before you decide it was time to get out of bed.
You carefully got up and headed for the shower, taking a towel and clothes in with you. You proceeded with your normal routine and washed your body and hair.
Once you had finished and dried your body, you brushed your teeth and got changed. You had no energy to dry your hair, so you decided to let it air dry and walked out of the bathroom. You looked around your room and spotted Thomas about to leave the room.
"Good morning" you said cheerfully. Thomas looked up and smiled at you, still very tired.
"Good morning to you too love. Good to see you are feeling better after last night." Thomas said through a yawn
"Thanks for that. Sorry if I kept you up, Tommy." You said as you walked past him and out of your room, leaving him standing in the doorway  blushing hearing your nickname for him

You made your way to the living room where Ally and Dylan were still asleep, cuddled together. You shook them both awake, watching as they looked around confused and tired.
"What happened?" Dylan asked once he'd spotted you.
"Thomas and I came home late, and found you guys asleep on my couch. We thought we'd let you sleep."
"Oh right. We fell asleep when we were watching a movie" Ally said with a small laugh.
"Where's Thomas? Did he go home after you got here?" Dylan asked.
"No he's here. He's probably just having a shower. I let him stay in Ally's room since the two of you had already found somewhere to sleep. But then I had a nightmare and Thomas came into my room and um," you were struggling to continue the sentence, trying to find a way to put it without it sounding weird.
"You slept with him?" Dylan finished your sentence with a smirk.
"No no no! Not like that! We both just kinda fell asleep." You explained
"Oh. Okay" Ally said with the same smirk Dylan had spread across his face.
You rolled your eyes, giving up on the two, and made your way to the kitchen, pulling out a bowl and some cereal and milk. You got a spoon and sat at the table, enjoying the peace and quite. You had closed your eyes, still feeling tired, when you heard the chair across from you move, causing you to open your eyes. Ally sat in front of you with a bowl of cereal in hand.
"So how was your date with Thomas?"
"It was amazing! First he took me to a little cottage restaurant in the woods, and we had dinner and just talked, and then I thought we were going home, but instead he took me to a lookout. We could see the whole city, it was just amazing and beautiful!" You explained to Ally who was smiling.
"So what happened last night then?" She asked, talking about after you and Thomas had come back.
"Well he went to sleep in the guest room, and went to sleep in my room. Somewhere around 3am I woke up screaming from a nightmare, and Thomas ran in and lay with me to comfort me, and I guess we both fell asleep. What about you and Dylan huh? What happened with you two?" You asked curiously, smirking.
"Oh yeah um. Well after you and Thomas left, Dylan and I went back and just watched movies and talked. It was getting late and we were in the middle of a movie, and I fell asleep and I guess Dylan did as well." Ally explained, a blush on her cheeks the entire time. You both laughed as you got up and made your way to the kitchen to wash your bowl and spoon. As you rinsed the bowl, you felt two warm hands wrap around your waist and a chin rest in your shoulder.
"I like the nickname you gave me" Thomas whispered in your ear.
"Is that so Tommy?" You said, causing Thomas to chuckle.
You placed the bowl and spoon aside to dry, and turned around to face Thomas. You stood up on the tips of your toes and kissed him on the cheek, then moving your mouth to his.
"Thanks for last night. For the date and comforting me after the nightmare." You said once your lips parted from Thomas's.
"Anything for you love"
