Writing Prompt:
6 - "Shh, you're safe. I won't let you go."
Y/N gasped as she shot up in bed, her heart pounding harshly against her ribcage as she tried to catch her breath. She reached a trembling hand over to the other side of the bed, nearly having a heart attack when she didn't feel Barry lying beside her.
"Barry?!"
"Yeah?"
The girl's head shot up when she heard his voice from the doorway, her teary eyes meeting his worried green ones.
"Y/N?" He asked, flipping on the light switch as he ventured further into the room. "What's wrong, baby?"
Y/N leapt out of bed and dashed over to the speedster, throwing herself into his arms and burying her face into his neck. She hated herself for the harsh sobs that began to shake her frame as she cried against him, her body quaking with the strength of her cries.
"Hey, baby, shh," Barry whispered, wrapping his arms tight around the female as he rubbed a gentle hand up and down her back in an attempt to soothe her. "Another dream?"
Y/N whimpered and held tighter to Barry's shirt, nodding against his neck. "I-I'm sorry."
Barry snorted, pulling back just slightly so he could cup her face in between his large palms and brush his thumbs over her cheekbones in an attempt to wipe her tears away. "For what, baby? You don't have anything to apologize for." He gently hooked an arm behind her knees and hoisted her into his arms, letting her press her face into his neck once again. He carried her back over to the bed and laid her in it, bringing the covers up to her chin before crawling in beside her.
"C'mere, you." Barry hummed, pulling her close against him and pressing his face into her hair. Y/N didn't hesitate to wrap her arms tight around her boyfriend's middle, pressing her face into his shirt as she took long, shaky breaths to calm herself down.
"Shh, you're safe. I won't let you go." Barry whispered, running his fingers slowly up and down her back in an attempt to soothe her.
Y/N nodded, pressing herself further against him and sighing softly into his shirt. "Thank you."
"Of course," Barry whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of his girlfriend's head. "I love you."
"I love you too." Y/N whispered sleepily, her hands still clutching his shirt tightly in her fists.
The speedster smiled, pressing another gentle kiss to her forehead before closing his own eyes. "Goodnight, Y/N."
A/N- This was pretty short and sweet, but I hope you enjoyed! Love you guys so much!! <3 ~Hayden
