Once A Nightmare, Twice A Dream

Yoongi POV

I trudge out of the car. God damn, I'm so tired. These days, I have so much work at the office that I'm always going early and coming late. I wish I could give Aeri and Y/N a little more time. Y/N says that it's fine and it's only for a small time period so they're fine but I still feel bad. I take off my blazer, unbutton my shirt and loosen my tie. Going in to Aeri's nursery which she'd moved to recently, I check that she's asleep comfortably. Then I close the door quietly and go to our bedroom. I open the door gently in case Y/N is already asleep. But she's not. The room is dark and I can make out her silhouette standing in the balcony, her features barely visible in the dim moonlight. I approach her.

"How have you been babe?", I ask.

She doesn't answer, she doesn't even look at me. I get closer to her.

"Babe?", I say uncertainly.

There's still no response. I look carefully at her face, she seems so far away from me. Maybe she's next to me but so far far away at the same time. 

"Baby.", I say as I wrap my hands around her.

"Oh Yoongi, I didn't even notice you.", she jumps slightly but then softens at my sight.

"Where were you?"

"Oh I don't know Yoongi, somewhere, floating and distant.", she sighs.

I take her hand and guide her to the bed, "You've always been so far these days."

"I know. I don't know actually. I'm so so lost.", she whimpers.

"It's my fault. I'm not taking care of you and leaving so much work for you.", I start.

She places her finger on my lips, "Don't even try. Babe, your mum doesn't even let me touch any of the work and you are taking care of me.", she reveals.

"But still honey, it's not right of me being away from you guys so long.", I persist, "I'm going to ask my boss to lighten my shifts. This job isn't for money, it's only so that I have something to do whilst Aeri grows up and I think it's time I put the priorities back in place."

"Yoongi please, you don't have to worry about us.", she implores.

"No Y/N, this isn't worrying, this is fulfilling duty.", I finalise, "Tell me Y/N, what is it you want to do most right now?"

Your POV

A smirk creeps up my face.

"Me? At this very moment?", I bite my lips as I play around with his tie.

"Yes baby.", he smiles back at me and raises his eyebrows suggestively.

I laugh, "Haha love, you really thought I was going to say that."

He rolls his eyes, "Whatever. Guess my hopes were a little too high."

"A little or by a lot?", I quiz.

"Fine, fine, a lot.", he giggles.

"Babe, let's get lost.", I say suddenly.

"What do you mean?", he questions.

"We'll leave a note on Aeri's door so that your mum can see it tomorrow. Let's go out tonight, just you and me.", I say wistfully.

"Ok, but out to where?", Yoongi asks.

"I don't know, let's just take Ebony and Crystal and go some place so far it's not on the map.", I say.

I give him a moment to change in to comfortable clothes whilst I write a scratchy note and plaster it on to Aeri's bedroom door.

"Ready?", I ask as he comes out of the room.

"Let's go.", he answers as he puts my black cloak over my shoulders.

We quietly creep out, careful not to catch attention. When we're out, we rush to the stable and take our horses out.

"Quietly girl, we don't want to wake anyone up.", I pat Ebony.

Yoongi looks at me with curiosity, "I've always seen you talk with Ebony, but why?"

"Yoongi, Ebony has been with me since I was little. She may not be human but she's loyal than most. She understand me like I understand her. You wouldn't know how much I've been through with her."

The image of when I was thirteen, riding Ebony and a group of men had approached me with guns, Ebony was the one who took the bullet for me and protected me, it comes and then goes.

"Oh like some sort of mutual understanding?", Yoongi says.

"Exactly that.", I smile, "Like the one we have even when we're so far."

I begin to ride in to the thick forests. I can't see where I'm going, it's far too dark. The wind is blowing fiercely. The rain starts to pour heavily. It seems as if all of nature's forces are corresponding to my emotions. Yoongi is somewhere behind me, I can feel the clatter of his horses hooves but then I feel like I'm sole and alone here, sort of how I want it to be. I undo my cloak and throw it off.

"Y/N, it's freezing, why did you do that?", Yoongi asks.

"Do it and you will understand.", I chuckle.

He really does take his off as well and throws it away.

"Do you understand?", I say.

"I think I might just.", he gets of his horse and I follow him.

He goes ties his horse to the tree and I do the same. Then he walks to the clearing and pushes the trees apart. A horrible sight before me...

Yoongi POV

This is the lake, it has a cold frozen glaze of ice over it. This is the lake, the one Y/N almost drowned in many years ago. I take of my hoodie and jump in, surfacing within moments. Y/N looks at me with shock.

"Just because this place was once your nightmare, doesn't mean it has to stay one.", I mutter.

Y/N comes to the edge of the lake, "I'm scared Yoongi, there's many bad memories here."

"No Y/N, I was once a nightmare, you accepted me and I hope I'm one of your most prettiest dreams now. Won't you give this place a chance?", I lure.

"I want to but I don't know if I can.", she hesitates as she dips a foot in.

I support her and pull her in, "Take my hands now, we should never let our fears rule over our courage."
