LITTLE HEAD SPACE

Taehyung's POV

　I wake up breathing heavily, I look over next to me where Shadow lays peacefully sleeping. I sit up and rub my face with my hands. I hear whimpering coming from Shadow, I turn toward her and see her beginning to frantically move her head, she then starts to move her legs, and her hands clench the sheets.

I turn fully towards her and grab her shoulders to shake her, but before I am able to she springs up wrapping her arms around me, screaming into my chest muffling it so the others wouldn't hear her. I rub her head and back soothingly cooing to her as her screams starts to cease becoming wet tears running down her face wetting my shirt.

She clings tightly to me as she silently cries. When her whimpers stop she pulls away looking down. I put my hand under her chin bringing it up so that our eyes meet. I take my other hand and wipe the stray tears from her eyes and face. I give her a subtle smile, she smiles back at me before climbing into my lap and snuggling herself on me, her breathing starts to even.

I slowly turn my body so that I'm facing the foot of the bed before laying down and slowly falling back to sleep. When I wake up I feel movement on me remembering Shadow fell asleep on me I'm not worried. I then hear a knock on the door before it opens revealing Jungkook.

"Hey, you need to get up we need to go to the brother's so we can find out what they want as payment for what they are going to do to take the map out of Shadow."

"Ok," is all I say as I sit up.

Jungkook leaves and closes the door doing so. Shadow wakes up and heads to the bathroom. In the quietness I hear the shower running. As much as I want to go in there to her I can't that would be crossing the line and I want her to trust me like she did. Once the water stops I hear shuffling then the door opens revealing Shadow in only a towel, I feel my pants start to tighten. I need a ice cold shower. I get off the bed grabbing my clothes off the dresser and head to the bathroom. When I'm done I leave the bathroom back into Shadow's room to find her trying to get into Secret Place. I chuckle silently as she struggles.

"Hey, Shadow let me help you babe." I say walking over to her and grabbing her hand, and showing her how to get into Secret Place.

Once inside she looks around with wide eyes filled with wonder. I clear my throat knowing we can't stay in here long. She looks back at me.

"Clouds...um...we have to um...we have to get back because we're going to be leaving for a while." I tell her gently.

She looks down at the ground, my heart pains to see her disappointed.

"Don't worry we'll get your memory back and we'll be coming back here princess. We just need to go and see some people and see what they want so we can get it so we can bring it back so they can help you by getting what's inside you out. Babygirl, I promise you we'll be coming back here once we're done."

"Otay," she says quickly almost to submissively.

I frown inwardly at the thought of her having to do something she isn't willing to do. She walks to the entrance ahead of me, it give me enough time to take in her physical state. She doesn't look as strong as she once did. I really don't think when she is able to remember, I don't think she will come back to the way she was she now has a more child likeness to her that I am getting used to. I'm starting to think of her as my baby now since she is going in to her little head space.

When I catch up to her I grab her by the hand so that I know I won't loose her. Once I take her hand I feel her flinch in response I pull my hand away instantly. When hand is completely by my side I feel her tiny hand slip back into mine. I look down at her cautiously, she looks up at me shyly. I give her a subtle smile sending her a message she will be okay, and that she can trust me. She smiles back at me before letting me guide her back through the entrance.
