I wake up to the sound of my boyfriend screaming and trembling with fear. This has been happening a lot lately.
I shoot up and see his bloodshot eyes and slightly flushed cheeks. "Stiles! Stiles!" I shake him to try and make him stop but he just continues to pant and scream.
I cup his cheeks and turn his head so that he's looking at me. He is crying hysterically with tears pouring down his face.
"Shh baby you're okay." I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him tight. "T-they were trying t-to-" I begin to rub the back of his head to try and calm him down.
"It's okay. It's okay." "T-hey were g-gonna hurt y-you." I kiss his jaw and cup his cheeks again. I slowly wipe his tears away.
"It's okay baby it was just a dream. I'm right here. I'm okay." He wraps his arms tightly around me and I wrap mine around his neck again. I kiss his neck a little and continue to tell him that everything's okay.
"I love you." He sniffles a little. "I-I love you too."
We stay there for a little until he pulls away. "I'm sorry." I give him a confused look. "For what?" "For being such a problem."
He's looking at his hands while he twiddles his thumbs. "You're not a problem." He sighs. "Yes I am. You haven't been getting any sleep because of me." It was my turn to sigh now. "Stiles. You are not a problem. It is not your fault that you're having these nightmares. Have my nights been more difficult because of them? Yes. Am I going to leave just because things are tough? No. I will never leave you. I love you." He looks up at me. "I love you too."
