In my dreams (sweets/aubrey x reader)

It had been nearly two years since your ex sweets had passed. A very difficult two years at that. You were constantly falling in and out of work habits and ended up having to get professional help for an on going depression. Even though it felt like you were betraying sweets, after all he was the psychologist you were used too. You eventually found a strong hold in your life. His name was James Aubrey and he just so happened to be your partner at the bureau. Aubrey knew that you two would never completely be like you and sweets were but he loved you enough to accept that. One evening, after a long day at work you decided to go out for a drink. Aubrey said that he'd drop you off but then he was going to go grocery shopping because the fridge was empty. That didn't bother you because you knew how much he loved food. You kissed him goodbye and he waited until you were seated to pull away. "BARKEEP!" you called over all the noisy strangers. It just so happened that the bartender that night happened to be one of yours and sweets old friends. "Hey Charlie." You said with a glum yet hopeful tone. "Rough day at work, aye, Y/N?" "Yeah, I suppose. I'm getting these weird random visions of sweets in my dreams. Almost like flashbacks to that day."  "Well you did go through a whole heck of a lot. They're probably PTSD. I hope you're still getting help." Charlie said sliding you a gin and tonic. "Of course Charlie." You smiled. You were interrupted by someone sliding in the chair next to yours. "What's a pretty lady like you doing here alone?" It was a tall, dark, clearly drunken, man. He wreaked. It was awful. "She's not alone." Charlie chimed in. "Hey, Barkeep, I wasn't talkin' to you so keep ya nose out of my business kapeesh?" The man snarled at Charlie and then turned back to you. "What do you say I buy you a drink and then I take you back to my place, yeah?" "I'd rather not." You said swiveling your chair so the back was towards him. By that point Charlie had to walk away other wise he was going to jump the bar and beat that guy to a pulp. This gave the creep a chance to slip something into your drink when you weren't looking. He didn't bother you after you turned away and just went to another table. Charlie saw he had left and came back over. " Man, that guys a creep, are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine. I lock up idiots like him all day."  You took another sip of your gin and tonic and immediately felt a bit funny. You looked at Charlie with wide eyes but it was too late. You were starting to get dizzy and fade in and out. Like snapshots on a camera roll. You remembered hitting the floor with your head because you'd heard a loud thud and everything was suddenly cold. You remembered Charlie standing above you frantically talking to the cops. You saw red and blue flashes and Aubrey in tears. You couldn't move or anything. The last thing you remember is a blurry figure being walked out in hand cuffs and Aubrey holding you. Then you blacked out. You faded into a dream like state, you assumed a coma. Everything was white. You saw a figure get closer and closer. The closer he got the more familiar he looked. He had on a black suit and black tie with a white dress shirt. Oh sweets. You gasped as tears streamed down your face. "Y/N." Sweets looked at you with sorrow in his eyes.  "Sweets." You whispered as you ran to hug him. The two of you were like that for quite a while until sweets broke the bittersweet moment. "Y/N, as much as I love you and as much as I wish we could spend eternity like this. I can't." "Sweets what are you talking about? I finally get to see you after what feels like forever and be with you for what may be forever and you want me to leave?!" "Y/N, you don't belong here. Not yet. You have a life to live. Aubrey needs you. Remember that feeling you had when I passed?" "Like it was yesterday." "Aubrey feels that heartbreak right now. I need you to promise me something." You nod your head as tears stream down your cheeks. "Promise me you'll keep fighting. You'll make it out of here." You just cried but you understood. Sweets got closer to you and wiped the tears away with his thumbs. His eyes started to water and he pulled you in close. The two of you swayed back and forth. This went on for a while. Finally sweets loosened his grip, looked deep into your eyes and kissed you deeply. "Y/N, you love Aubrey more than you will ever realize. I need you to say goodbye to me. To let go. As hard as it may be." You nodded your head. "Goodbye sweets." You whispered as he started to fade. "I love you." You whispered again. "And I you. Goodbye Y/N." Sweets said faintly and within an instant he was gone and you were awake. You searched the room. You'd been there for about a week you gathered from the chart that was left on your table. You shifted your head to look at Aubrey who happened to have fallen asleep with his head in his arms beside your bed. You reached out a hand and rubbed his arm. He jolted awake. You studied him. His eyes were read and puffy from lack of sleep and tears. His hair was a mess and his tie was crooked. "Y/N, your awake." His voice was hoarse but he sounded relieved. He planted a kiss on your bandages forehead. "What happened?" You asked wincing at the headache forming behind your eyes. "You were drugged. The drug caused you to hallucinate and you fell to the ground hitting your head on the corner of the bar on the way down. Charlie called me and told me what happened and we were able to arrest the guy who drugged you.  You lost a significant amount of blood and went into a coma. I've been here for almost a week now I've never left your side and I never will again." "Thanks Aubrey." You said kissing him on the nose. "But, you should get some rest." He nodded in agreement. "I'll go get the nurse." He stood up and walked towards the door. You saw what you thought was sweets standing in the door way smiling. Aubrey walked through and he was gone. You did however have a weird feeling that you and Aubrey were made for each other and couldn't wait to get out of the hospital so you could spend more time with him. You loved him.
