Close Your Eyes

V x Reader

You had only just awoken from a night terror, you were absolutely horrified about the events in which unfolded within your sleeping and vulnerable mind. What could you do? The corners of your blanket could no longer give you the comfort in which you needed - but what would.

"Taehyung..." you whispered, looking beside you but to your surprise you couldn't see a sleeping V curled up beside you with his usual light obnoxious snoring. However, the media couldn't grow to know that - they'd mistake him for some sort of hibernating bear if they heard that. With a light chuckle you stood, bare feet hitting the wooden floor as you stood. Your heartbeat was picking up with the small, light steps you were taking. Where would Taehyung even be? He did say he would be practicing late after all... Maybe he didn't want to disturb you, so he must be in the guest bedroom right? You decided to take your chances, gently pushing opening the door - eyes finally focusing on a curled up Tae, blankets sprawled across his body as he was half of the bed. It looked like he didn't even make it in fully before he fell asleep.

Did you really want to disturb him? He'd been working so hard lately, it would be mean to do so. Slowly you turned, aiming to go back to your bed and attempt to sleep again. However you didn't wanna fall asleep once again in case you dreamt about the same thing...

"Where are you going?" You heard a deep sleepy tae mumble, "I thought you'd at least give me a cuddle." you turned once again, seeing him sit up and look at you - turning on the bed side lamp only to see your tear stained face. "W-wait, Y/N, what's wrong?" he questioned, now standing and making his way towards you gently putting his big hands on your cheeks softly moving his thumb in a comforting manner. You could only lean into his touch and close your eyes - tired and craving sleep next to him. Luckily, he seemed to get the message and he picked you up bridal style within his arms, taking you over to the bed and laying you down. However, your grip tightened on his shirt.

"Please don't leave me, I'm scared." you spoke, voice soft and shaky.

"Scared?" he questioned, "why scared?" you shook your head, refusing to tell him. It was just a babyish reason right? He seemed to notice your mental battle with telling him or not, "Tell me, Y,N. Please?" you just nodded pulling him close as he laid beside you softly running his fingers through your soft hair.

"I had a nightmare...I was alone Tae, I couldn't find you." you held back tears at remembering what had happened - being lost within the middle of an empty street unable to find him, just craving to hear his voice or feel his touch. He gasped a little, putting the blankets over you both as his arms wrapped around you allowing your head to rest upon his chest.

"I've got you, okay? Nothing like that will ever happen." There was a small pause as you felt his chest rise up and down and the faint sound of his heartbeat, "You're here with me, I'm going to chase the bad dreams away." a light smile formed on his lips as he continued to hold you and tell you on how he'd protect you through the night...

After that, believe me. You didn't have another one when you curled up beside Tae - everything is okay.
