Comatose (A Matt x Reader)

Stuck With Me

It was a pretty normal night. (Y/n) got home from work to her small but cozy apartment, changed into her (f/c) baggy shirt and sweats and passed out on the couch while watching a movie.

But, it was very not normal when she went to dreamland.

Most of the time, (y/n)'s dreams are easy to brush off. Some nightmares here and there, but she'll forget them once she has breakfast. This particular dream, however, would not be one that is easy to forget.

(Y/n) was standing in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, it was pitch black dark but she felt solid ground underneath her feet. She tried walking, and didn't fall into any abyss, so she just walked. Granted, she couldn't really tell if she was actually going anywhere, but that wasn't important.

Suddenly, she heard a second voice in the strange place. She looked all around her, before seeing unmissable short auburn hair in the darkness. (Y/n) walked towards the person, confirming that she indeed was  moving, and the stranger turned to face her.

"Who...who are you??" The male asked. He was wearing simple clothing, an plain orange t-shirt and jeans, while (y/n) was still in her sweatpants and shirt.

As if on cue, (y/n) shot up from the couch, appearing as if she had a nightmare. She was out of breath, even sweating.

"What the hell..."

The Following Night

Once again, a fairly normal night, though today (y/n) worked extra hours, so she was especially tired. She went through her usual cycle of eating microwaved soup for dinner, changing into her sleepwear, and passing out on the couch during a movie, her (h/c) hair sprawled out around her.

She found herself in the same dream from the previous night.

She walked around again, seeing the same auburn hair from the night before. She walked over to him, expecting him to ask the same question.

"You again...?" He looked dumbfounded.

That's when something didn't click. (Y/n) was already a bit confused since she's never met the male before, but the fact that he remembered her from the previous night set her off.

"Uh, have we met before? Before the other night, I mean." (Y/n) spoke with a slight hesitancy, just in case he was dangerous.

"I don't think so. I'm Matt, but I need you to help me." He looked desperate, like he had been through a lot.

"My name is (y/n). What do you--" She started, but was cut off when she woke up suddenly. She groaned into her hands, frustrated that she only knew the stranger's name and not what he needed her help for.

Well, until she heard his voice.

"Hello? Are you there?" The familiar voice asked. (Y/n) shrieked and jumped from the couch, looking frantically around her living room. There was no one there...

"I'm not there, calm down." He reassured the girl, but it only made her more confused.

"What do you mean, you 'aren't here'?!" She spoke aloud, still looking left and right and all over her apartment.

"Listen, I really need your help. It's urgent." He grew into a serious tone which made (y/n) stop searching. She composed herself and sat on the couch.

"I need you to find my sister, Katie. I need you to tell her that I'm alive, and that I'm fighting to wake up." He started, "She misses me, and I don't want her to think I'm dead."

If (y/n) wasn't already confused before, she sure as hell was now. "Huh? So you're alive, but you're not...awake?"

"I went into a coma. I got into a really bad accident. I guess somehow my conscious went to you. I'm still in the hospital physically, but I really need you to find Pidge--"

"Pidge? As in, super smart techie Pidge Holt? I went to university with her!"

"Small world. I need you to get in touch with her and tell her I'm alive, and to come to our hometown's hospital."

"Alright, I can do that. But what are you going to be doing in my thoughts?"

"Well...I guess you're stuck with me until I wake up, (y/n)."
