His Shooting Star Wish

Nightmares

-still Y/n POV-

I enter his room. Willow looks sad as I gently pat her to sleep first before respectfully sitting on my knees. I caress his cheek gently "it's okay" I whisper softly realising he was sweating a lot using my cardigan which I put on before I went into his room.

"Tom it's okay I promise" I whispers softly as I push his hair back gently. He instantly flinched sitting up. He was flustered and then he realised why I was in here and instantly he cleared his throat. He was laughing but I knew it was forced but I didn't pressure him.
"Oh I must've had a nightmare usually never happens. I'm fine I have willow thanks for checking up on me" he smiles awkwardly.

-Tom's POV-

She was on her knees. I wish I didn't flinch awake I thought but I did because nightmares happen and no ones there for me. It scared me a little she was here so I forced a laugh and basically told her everything was okay. She looked uncertain which surprised me.
"I can't sleep maybe want to have tea?" She says as it comes out as a question.
"It's 5 am" I chuckle softly.
"There doesn't have to be a time for tea now does it" she grins softly and I think for a second before chuckling getting up gently.
"Sure you don't bite do you?" I tease causing her to giggle. I love her giggle so much. It wasn't compressed to seem cute. It was genuine and wholehearted.

She leaves my room as I freshen up slightly and then wear a simple t shirt going to the kitchen where she was preparing our tea. She said she's lucky her mums a deep sleeper but also not so great because she could be getting stolen from and wouldn't know. That made me laugh causing her to laugh.

-an hour later-

She was so easy to talk too. We talked about anything really. I would ask her about her passions and she would do the same. It came so naturally. She yawned covering her mouth apologising softly as she smiles. I smile back as look at the time.

"You should probably sleep" I say softly. She looked out to see whether it was dark "
no thank you not now" she whispers softly eating a cookie. I frowned my eyebrows until it hit me. She's scared of the dark and she doesn't want to be alone.
"Y/n" I whisper softly taking her hand gently.
"Sleep on my bed I'll sleep in the floor" I say softly and she instantly shakes her head.
"No no I'm okay" she says smiling.

I huffed knowing it wasn't. With a soft grin on my face I picked her up over my shoulder gently.
"No tom" she giggles quietly "it's fine it's fine I'm not tired" she says softly only to yawn seconds later causing me to laugh.

"You can have willow with you if you don't want to be in my bed" I say softly.

"T-Tom I know we just met but can we cuddle?" She asks shyly as I set her down. I smile softly. "Friends cuddle too" I say with a smile as we get into bed. I hold her close to my chest and shortly after we both fall asleep in each other arms. No more nightmares in sight.
