You Make Me Feel Better

29th of December, 1974 | (3:23 AM)

Freddie's P.O.V.

I woke up to Aoibheann lightly tapping me. She was squatting down beside the couch, whispering at me to wake up.

"Come on, I'll help you upstairs.. It's 3 am, Freddie.." she whispered. I groaned as she pulled at my arm. After eventually getting up, she let me lean on her for support, my eyes were not letting me open them at all.

As I laid down on the bed she sat down on it beside me next to my legs. She swept hair off my forehead with her fingertips. I melted at her touch, so soothing..

"Night, Freddie.." she said as she pulled up the blankets on me.

"A-..Aoibheann.." I croaked. She looked at me for a few seconds and then kissed my cheek.

As she stood up straight and was about to leave, I grabbed her arm.

"Stay.."

"Freddie - I am not going anywhere, I'll just be in the bedroom across the hall-"

"No, here. Stay here.." I whispered as I moved over and patted the bed beside me.

"Freddie.." she said worriedly, fidgeting with her fingernails.

"Please," I begged, still holding her sleeve. I heard her take off her shoes and lay down next to me.

"Darling, you don't have to wear those clothes.. I can give you something more comfortable..?"

"Freddie.. It's ok," I heard her say before I could hear her taking off her pants, she then slipped into the bed next to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I pulled her closer and rested my head on her chest with my arms around her upper back.

"A-Aoibheann.."

"Yes, Freddie?"

"I like you. You make me feel good.. nice.. I don't feel alone when I am with you.. M-Mary doesn't-"

"Shhh, Freddie.." she whispered as she knew I was about to start spiraling, "Explain in the morning. I just want to be with you now.." I made a sigh of appreciation and snuggled into her neck as her hands traced designs on my clothed back. My eyes felt heavy and drooped to the sound of her soft but deep breaths ringing in my ears.

  I couldn't help but stretch up and kiss her jawline.

  "Thank you.." I croaked. She hesitated for a few seconds, slightly in shock at what I'd done.

  "I couldn't have done less, Freddie.." she whispered. Oh.. she's so perfect..

  I hummed and let my eyes close, nestling my head into the crook of her neck.

Aoibheann's P.O.V.

  I woke up, feeling my back pressed against Freddie with his arms wrapped around my waist. I could see that the sky was still trapped in the moon's dark glow. It must only be about 6.. I yawned tiredly and tried to force myself back to sleep but my body wouldn't let me. I could never  get any sleep these days.

  "What woke you up?" Freddie's voice whispered from behind me.

  "Nothing, I'm just a light sleeper," I said and turned around to face him. He began tucking pieces of hair behind my ear.

  "As am I," he said, his face barely in sight due to the brightness. I nodded and curled up, snuggling into Freddie who had seemed to have taken the dominance as he cradled me now.

  "Freddie, I want to see you," I whispered suddenly.

  "Of course," he said and sat up, turning on the light on his side. I sat up immediately and placed my hands on either sides of his face. Endless nights of being alone, I finally got to touch someone. I got to have that physical contact I've always craved. To extinguish the anxiety that burns in a heavy pool at the bottom of my stomach.
