Nellis (Nick/Ellis) One-Shots [L4D2]

Nightmares

It was the middle of the night. Well, it was actually three in the morning, but whatever. The four survivors rested quietly in a safe house, which had separate rooms for once, while the world outside was going to hell. Suddenly, the silence was broken by Ellis' quiet voice. "Nick.. Hey, Nick," was heard over the sound of light rain on the tin roof. The suited man shifted slightly, folding the pillow over his ears. "Nick, c'mon.. I know you can hear me.." The silence hung in the air once again, like a fog during a morning dew. It was time for the childish Ellis again. "Nick, Nick, hey Nick. Niiiick, Nick Nick Nick Nick Niiiiiick.." Finally, he gave up and turned his head to the younger one in the room. "What," he said almost angrily. Almost. "I had a nightmare.." Of all the things, it was the most childish. It made Nick think of a toddler walking into the doorway of their parents' room during a thunderstorm. It didn't matter, though, because he knew he would never hear the end of it. With a sigh, he said "fine, get over here," and they cuddled up close before slowly falling asleep in each other's arms.
