EVAK/HENJEI ONE SHOTS

[37] n i g h t m a r e

OK so i made one really similar to this awhile back calling "i l o v e y o u" so let's just call this a 2.0 version of that one cause that one is trash

EVEN POV
________

i was awakened by a pair of hands grasping my shoulders, shaking me slightly and hearing my name being said a few times. it wasn't long before i realized the voice was isak's and i opened my eyes, trying to get a hold on reality as i saw his tear stained cheeks.

"what? what's wrong?" i rasped, my voice full of concern when i saw my baby crying, but still feeling groggy due to the fact that i just woke up.

my hands went up to cup his cheeks when he began to frown. "i know it's stupid but, i- i had a nightmare."

i stared as i let that sink in, feeling a bit relieved that it wasn't something like the house was burning down. he was adorable. i chuckled lightly, sighing deeply and wrapping my arms around him as i pulled him to my bare chest. "oh, baby."

he rested his head against my chest and i felt his slightly sticky cheeks on my skin. my hand went down to his face, thumb wiping away his tears while my other hand ran my fingers soothingly through his hair.

"do you want to tell me about it?" i asked quietly, my eyes darting down to only see the top of his head. he shook his head silently in response.

i leaned down, pressing my lips to his hair as a kiss as my hand traveled down to his back to trace circles into his flesh.

"you know..." i started meekly, looking up at the ceiling. "tomorrow we're gonna see all our friends at eva's party. it's gonna be a lot of fun, don't you think?" i asked, trying my best to get isak's mind off of whatever it was he dreamt.

he hummed, "yeah. i'm excited." he replied, scooting up a bit and creating a small gap between us so we could face each other.

i smiled at him, admiring his features; like his cute little nose and the shape of his cupid's bow that i always noticed when he wasn't looking. i reached forward, my thumb tracing his upper lip as he watched me closely with a sleepy, yet amused look on his face.

"i agree." i said, now brushing my finger over his eyebrow, along his jaw and all the other shapes and sharp curves of his face.

his eyes began to droop and i was glad to know that he felt safe enough to fall back asleep now. right as i thought he had passed out, i began to close my eyes as well in attempt to sleep as well when i heard his voice break the silence.

"i love you." he murmured, it barely audible due to how low and quiet he had said it.

i opened my eyes, seeing that his were still closed and couldn't help the wide grin tugging at my lips. no matter how many times we said it to each other, i still got goosebumps hearing it because i knew he'd only say if he meant it, and i too. i leaned forward, kissing his forehead gently. "i love you, isak."
