BJ's POV

While I sit in my uncomfortable green seat, sitting next to Y/N's hospital bed, I notice her moving around in her sleep in a distressed way. Just in case anything was wrong I tried to shake her awake but she mumbled a few words out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Please tell me how I can help."

Sleep talking. My brother used to do that, but the next thing she said took me by surprise.

"Please Beetlejuice. I love you so much."

Tears were now streaming down her face as she tossed and turned in her sleep.

She loved me? No.. it was only a dream. How could any living or dead being love me, a reckless pervy demon.

I was beginning to stress, not knowing how to deal with this, but then I remembered how I used to wake my brother up from his nightmares. I lean down close to her right ear and whisper into it

"Wake up, Y/N."

A few moments after I said that, she jolted up out of her bed and swiftly checked her surroundings before laying her eyes on me and calming down. She then grasps my shoulders and embraces me into a tight hug, sobbing into my ear.

"Are you okay Babygirl?! Hey, shh shhh. You're gonna be alright. It's only me. I've got you. You're safe."

I try to reassure her by whispering into her ear and stroking her beautiful h/c hair, and it seems to work because her sobs slowly fade into deep breathes and the waterworks stop spilling out her eyes. She releases me and lays down while rubbing her tired eyes. Then she says something that I would never of expected

"Can you please uh.. sleep in bed with me? I don't want to have another nightmare." She glances down and plays with the edge of the blanket, her face growing pinker by the second

"Sure thing babes, anything for you." I wink at her and she scoffs at my comment, probably not believing me. But I was telling the truth, I seriously would do anything for that girl.

Pulling myself onto the bed, I raise my left arm so Y/N could cuddle into me. I felt awkward about this next thing, but since she knows me as the outgoing flirty guy, I gave her a soft kiss on the top of her head.

She proceeds to nuzzle her face into my neck and I wrap my arm around her shoulder. She rests her arm on top of my chest,  and she sighs before drifting off into slumber.

The next morning

The sun shines onto the cozy bed and I notice Y/N and I are basically in the same position that we were just a few hours ago. I try to move away, trying not wake her but she wraps both her arms around my neck whilst still leaning on my left arm.

My eyebrows furrow together and she grins super cutely while lifting her head and still keeping her eyes closed. I then smirk and begin to make her float up above me. Her eyes widen open as she flails her arms trying to grab a hold of me.

"Put me down, put me down! I'm sorry, I'll let you go!" She pleads as I continue to make her float above me. I shrug my shoulders and drop her, making her fall back on top of me but our faces now only inches apart.

She blushes deeply and I grin at her embarrassment. Our noses were practically touching and I couldn't help but smile. Staring into her deep e/c eyes, I could get hypnotised.  I decided to change the positions so I flipped her over, making me rest my arms by her shoulders and my face leaning over hers. She squeals at the movement and I chuckle at her reaction.
