Terrors in Subnautica(Complete)

Part 29: Y/N

Author's Note: This one is pretty short but I wanted to have this part on it's own.

N/N's POV

I make my way down to our room trying to think of what to say to him. This whole time he's been so overwhelmed with pain and fear over weather or not I'd wake up, trying so hard to stay positive he wasn't even allowing himself to experience his feelings. I wonder if I have the energy to give him enough support to let them out.

I take a deep breath before stepping inside the room. Seán is leaning up against the far wall, staring out the window when my presence catches his attention. The look on his face is painful to see, he looks completely overwhelmed and afraid. He obviously wants to come over to me but looks terrified that he might somehow break me, or that I might disappear. Honestly after everything that happened, I can't blame him for feeling that way.

I approach him and calmly take his hand, leading him over to sit on the bed. I turn to face him and gently pull him down so his head rests on my shoulder, I'm not surprised to feel his tears run down my arm no more then a moment later. Before long he's got a death grip around my waist while his whole body shakes with his breathing. I wish there were more I could do, but I know that what he really needs is just to have someone he can cry with.

Every hiccup and sob is another shot of pain through my guts and chest, but I continue to breathe deeply and remain calm. Eventually when he lets all of his pain and stress out, he should be able to calm himself by following my breathing. Hopefully he won't be in pain for too much longer, it's been absolute torture having to just sit by and watch him suffer this past week.

When he does calm down he slumps against me feeling the exhaustion from the past two weeks coming down on him. I quietly hum a random little tune and adjust the two of us to the backboard of the bed, that way when he completely falls asleep we'll already be comfortable.

With a sleepy look on his face he looks up at me and smiles through the dried tear streaks on his face.

"Thank you for letting me cry on you. And for coming back.." he sighs

"y/n" I whisper, trying to ignore the sting of fear going through me.

His brow furrows and he lifts himself up slightly on his forearms.

"What?"

"My name.. it's Y/N." I can see the fear on my face reflected in his eyes.

He watches me for a moment and I realize how tense I am when my muscles start to burn. He gives me the most sincere smiles and kisses me lightly before pulling me back into an embrace.

"I love you, Y/N."

"I love you too, Seán."
