Calums POV

I woke up panting and sweating. I had tears streaming down my face and I was shaking. Michael was behind me snoring lightly. He was so peaceful.

I had another nightmare.

I can't even remember what it was about but I know that Michael died.

I silently cried to myself because it just seemed so real. I looked back over to my lover and then slid out of bed slowly. I didn't want to wake him. I grabbed one of his sweatshirts and looked back at him to see if he woke up. Thankfully he didn't.

It seems like every night for the past month I've been having night terrors and Michael had to wake up to calm me down. I hated that his sleep schedule was so messed up because of me. He always said he doesn't mind but I think otherwise.

I slowly made my way downstairs with my cheeks still wet from tears. I sit on the couch and turn on the TV. I turned the volume down and held a pillow to my chest. I just want one night of sleep. Just one.

Ever since me and Michael moved cities I've been having horrible dreams. Each night was different. Michael helped alot but he never got any sleep.

I looked over at the clock that sat near me. It was almost 5am. I sighed and let more tears fall down my face. Im so fucked up. Michael probably hates me.

I buried my face in my hands and sobbed. I didn't realise how loud I was until I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

I quickly looked up to see Michael in one of his flannels and baggy sweatpants, with his red hair sticking up in every direction. I got up, tears still rolling down my face, and I walked over to the red head.

"I-Im so sorry Mikey, go back to bed" I rushed out. "I didn't mean to wake you just- please go back to sleep im sorry"

He shook his head and wrapped his arms around me. I cuddled in his chest and cried into his neck. "Im so sorry Mikey" I sobbed.

He shushed me and kissed the top of my head. "Baby it's okay, you're fine" he whispered. Now it was my turn to shake my head so I pulled away from his touch.

"I woke you up didn't i?" I asked. He laughed softly and kissed my forehead.

"The bed was cold love" he said. "Come back to bed"

I looked down at my feet and he lifted my head up to look at him. "What was this one about?" He said and let his hands fall to my waist.

"Y-you died" I said. Another tear fell but he was quick to stop it. "It was so scary and it felt so real and-"

"Im right here though, aren't I?" He whispered and smiled. I nodded and buried my face in his neck. "I can't go back to sleep Mikey, it'll just continue and-and I don't wanna dream about that kinda stuff" I cried.

He rubbed my back and rocked us side to side. "Can you at least try?" He asked. "For me?"

I waited for a moment before nodding slowly. He held my hand and led us back to the bedroom.

We got in bed and I laid on my side and he laid behind me with his face in my neck. This was always my favorite way to sleep.

"Mikey?" I asked after it for quiet.

"Yes sweetheart?" I tried to ignore the butterflies in my stomach but that wasn't working. "Can you uh- Can you sing to me?"

I laid on my back as he propped up on his elbow to look down at me. "My voice is gross though" he whined.

I pouted my lips and kissed his hand. "Please?"

He rolled his eyes but squeezed my hand. "What do you wanna hear? "

"You know what I wanna hear" I smiled and looked up at his beautiful eyes. He smiled back and kissed my forehead.

"I need you now, I need your touch, and your lips" he started and I closed my eyes, drifting into a happy place and not a dark deep hole.

"I need that smile, and your kiss" he sang softly. " You're so cool, you're so beautiful"

I smiled a bit before opening my eyes and looking at him sing Ed Sheeran quietly.

"I see your grace, from my window.
When it is late at night
It'll show me your shadow" he closed his eyes also and squeezed my hand. Times like this were the best with Michael.

It felt like we were the only two people in the world. We didn't have to care if people didnt like us or, didn't accept us, didn't want our company. As long as I have Michael with me, by my side, I'll be okay.

I was brought back to reality when he stopped singing. "We need to rest darling."

I nodded and buried my face in his chest. "I love you Mikey" I whispered.

"I love you too baby, never forget that"
