Breathe, Jesse McCree

Moonlight illuminated the room in a soft silver glow. (Y/n) rolled over, slowly opening her eyes and adjusting to the dimly lit room. It was two in the morning, why had she woken up then? She felt the mattress move behind her and smiled when she looked over and saw Jesse still asleep. She laid there in the silence and listened carefully to his gentle, even breaths. How was it that just hearing him breathing beside her made her feel so flustered? (Y/n) propped herself up and leaned over the rugged cowboy, gently brushing the hair out of his face and running a hand down his jaw. A smile bloomed on her lips as he nuzzled into her palm, mumbling in his sleep.

"I love you so much, Jesse." She whispered, placing a kiss on his forehead. "Lord knows why you love me." Her smile faltered and her hand trembled as she pulled away. As her hand left his face, it was grabbed and held in place.

"Darlin'." Jesse whispered, his voice deep and rough. "It's hard to sleep with all this pokin' and proddin' goin' on." He brought her hand to his lips and kissed every knuckle.

"I was not poking you." (Y/n) laughed softly. He dropped her hand and sat up, propping himself on an elbow.

"Now why are you cryin'?" He used his thumb to wipe away a tear she never realized was there. He had heard what she said but wanted to coax it out of her anyways.

"I was just so caught up in how gorgeous and handsome you are." (Y/n) pushed him away playfully. Jesse sighed and carefully climbed on top of her and pinned her down.

"Is that so?" He looked down at her, careful not to fall on her as he wiped at another tear. (Y/n) covered her face and took a few deep breaths.

"I'm fine, Jesse." She revealed her face once more to show it was dry. "See? Perfectly fine."

"Please don't lie to me." He searched her (e/c) eyes for a hint or a sign.

"I didn't lie. I was overcome with how much I love you and how I don't-" She stopped abruptly.

"Don't what, darlin'?" Jesse leaned down and captured her lips in a long passionate kiss. She was crying again by the time he pulled away. "There doesn't have to be a solid reason why I love you, (Y/n). But know that I do love you and will never stop loving you."

"Jesse, I-" She didn't know what to say.

"Just promise me one thing."

"Anything."

"Never stop loving me too."

"I promise." She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down for another kiss.

"Now let's go back to sleep." Jesse laid down and pulled her close, resting her head on his chest so she could listen to his heartbeat and his breathing. He never understood why she liked it but he knew it would make her feel better. (Y/n) gladly snuggled in close and closed her eyes, falling asleep listening to him just breathe.
