Ashton Irwin Imagines - COMPLETED

He has a nightmare

Ashton woke up with sweat dripping down his forehead. he was breathing heavily and his heart was racing.

His mind kept replaying the nightmare that was truly unspeakable. He looked over at you to find you sound asleep. your back was facing him but he could hear your steady breathing.

He wiped his forehead and laid back down. He moved as close as he could to you and nuzzled his face in your neck. He tried to ignore the stinging behind his eyes as tears threatened to fall.

The nightmare he had was horrible. Every single second of it. He didn't wanna wake you up but he wanted to hear your voice and feel your arms wrap around him. Normally he loved being the big spoon but all he wants right now is for you to hold him.

He softly ran his hand across your arm. You shifted in your sleep and made a couple of noises but you didn't wake up at first. "Y/n?" He whispered your name in your ear and it was enough to wake you.

You opened your eyes and turned around to face him. "Ashton? What is it?" He took a deep breath and then suddenly felt silly for waking you. He shook his head and rubbed his thumb across your forehead. "Nothing. Go back to sleep."

You yawned but shook your head. "No. Something's wrong. Tell me what it is." You put your hand on his shoulder and the sweet affection made him break. "I just had a nightmare. That's all." He tried to play it off as nothing big but you could tell he was clearly upset.

"Wanna tell me about it?" He shook his head. "Okay. Is there anything I can do for you?" He smiled a little. You're always so caring and attentive to him and he's never ashamed to admit how much he loves and appreciates that. "Can you lay with me?"

You thought he meant he wanted to hold you so it surprised you when he put his head on your shoulder and acted as the small spoon. His eyelashes tickled your shoulder but you didn't mind at all. You tangled your hands through his hair and you heard him sigh.

"Doing okay?" He nodded and looked at you. It was dark but he could see your face a little, thanks to the moonlight that was poking through the curtains that you didn't close all the way. "I'm feeling okay now. Will you stay awake with me a little longer though?"

You smiled at him. "Of course I will." You had a surefire way of helping him fall asleep when he couldn't, though. You began to rub his back and occasionally brush your hand through his hair. His face was buried in your neck so you could feel his every breath fan across your skin.

His lips lightly brushed across your skin and the freckles that littered your skin. "I love you" he whispered as he started to fall asleep. You repeated the words back to him and watched as he fell back asleep, now feeling much more comfortable and a lot less anxious thanks to you.
