Harry Styles Imagines

46 - Nightmares

NIGHTMARES

                                               I move around and slowly feel how I wake up because my sleep has been racked with nightmares the past few nights already and it seems to be getting worse and worse. Having my eyes still closed and fighting the horrible images in my head, my hand seeks for Harry's body.

 I need to feel the warmth of his strong body under my fingertips. As soon as my hand touches his knuckles I shoot up and gasp loudly. Harry only groans and turns around to face me but then hides his face in the pillow.

 Tightly, I grip his hand and squeeze it. To that time I did not plan on waking up, I just needed comfort but seconds later drop my plans and gently shake his shoulder.

 "Harry, wake up. Harry, please. I need you to wake up, baby, please...are you, hey, can you—" I ramble and lay down again to have my mouth close to his ear in hope he will understand me better. Harry mumbles something I cannot understand but I see his eyes flutter.

 "How late is it?" Harry groans and rubs his eyes with his free hand, "Why are you squeezing my hand so much? Baby, what's wrong?" Harry asks concerned but still sleepy.

 "My nightmares are getting worse," I whisper and Harry slings an arm around my waist but this is not close enough for me, I need him closer so I snuggle up against his body and nuzzle my head in the crook of his neck, smelling his calming scent, "It's all my fears mixed up. I can see everything I fear, everything is attacking me or just happening. It's horrible, I need to...I can't—This is so—"

 "Baby, hey, look I'm here, I'm here for you, every day, every second. Whenever you need me I'm right here. And you're fine. You're okay and you're alive and I'm here and nothing's bad gonna happen," Harry rambles, hoping to calm down and it works. My chest rises and falls slower, my heart stops racing, "You're safe. You're safe with me. I'm not gonna let any bad happen to you because I love you, baby. And you're safe because I'm here, okay?"

 I nod, unable to form a sentence let alone a single word. I press light kisses against his bare chest and Harry wraps his arms tightly around my body, keeping me as close as possible. And eventually, I stop fearing to fall asleep again because of Harry's words and his presence and his strong arms around me and his soft lips on my hair and his calming breathing next to my ear.

 "Go to sleep, baby. You're safe. I've got you." Harry breathes.
