#68: Nightmares

Niall: Darkness is all around you, it hugs you, tucks you in and there’s no wonder when you’re awoken in the middle of the night with a loud panting right next to you. Your eyes flutter open instantly spotting a boy uncomfortably shifting, his mind battling to be clear. Light tap on his forearm and he’s sat next to you, the same hand pushing him back to bed. “It’s okay”, you manage to whisper while wrapping an arm around his unsteady body. “It’s alright, I’m here. Sleep now.”

Zayn: He’s a hard sleeper, but when it comes to the point when the person he loves is not alright, uncomfortably shifting like that, he’s awoken in the minute. “Shh”, he whispers, no evidence of previous sleep in his voice. “It was just a bad dream, nothing else”, he hums yet again, wrapping an arm around your trembling body, pulling you closer into his chest. “You’re safe now, I promise.”

Louis:You’re woken up when he’s already awake, his chest rapidly raising and falling as pants fill the coldness of the room. And when you ask him what’s wrong, he doesn’t  reply, but waits on your arm to wrap around his waist as you pull him in close and tight, enough for him to know that he’s safe. “Bad dream?” you try to question, but ends up as a statement, confirming all of your thought. “A nightmare”, he exhales nuzzling deeper in your arms.

Liam:"Shh", you hear a voice coming from behind, two arm accompanying your presence with warmth as you find yourself pressed to him. “You’re alright now”, he promises planting a small kiss to your forehead, your eyes finally closing as you nuzzle your head closer to him. “It was just a bad dream, nothing else”, he assures, squeezing you a bit tighter. Light smile stretches over your lips as you fall back to sleep; you’re safe now.

Harry:There’s a small hum coming from behind before you feel an arm wrapping around your waist, stronger push of his hand encouraging you closer to his chest. “It was just a bad dream”, he assures you, his voice sounding calm, sleepy roughness giving it that soothing touch. “You can sleep now, I’ll keep you safe”, he adds and it’s a promise; he’ll keep you safe from the demons, bad guys and even those bad dreams cold nights bring.
