Safe [GeorgeNotFound]

He's awake the moment he hears the soft pads of your feet slowly making their way to his room. He quickly blinks, trying to ease the fatigue and sleepiness out of his eyes as he hears the soft click of your hand twisting open the door handle.

You gingerly open the door, afraid of awakening and disrupting him of his peace. A hand comes up to your groggy eyes and you rub at them, silently thinking to yourself how on earth did you make it here without stumbling? Your eyes search the room until they land on the lump under the quilted covers of his bed.

"George..." you murmur into the darkness, voice soft and raspy and pleading as you shut the door behind your back.

"Yes? What's wrong?" His voice is husky from sleep, yet deep and soft and it warms your heart just to hear him speak.

"George.." you whimper again, padding over to him slowly and he decides to lift himself up a bit to properly take in your appearance. He holds himself up with his arm as he lays on his side, crimson eyes squinting until they are able to clearly identify your form. You're clad in nothing but one of his large t-shirts and shorts.

George admits to himself that he would have found your current figure quite arousing had it not been for the salty droplets of water that formed in the corner of your eyes, cheeks glistening with streaks of tears in the moonlight that crept through his curtains.

"(Name)." His voice is now void of any tiredness and he sits up. George frowns at the fact that you decided to stop halfway from him and the door and beckons you to come closer. "What's wrong?"

"I had a bad dream." Your voice remains laced heavily with grogginess and is barely above a whisper. The pads of your feet remain fixated, almost frozen to your spot and you dare not move an inch closer.

He sighs softly, feeling relieved that the issue was not more serious. A small smile curves at his lips and his gaze softens to one filled of only love. "Would you like to talk about it?" he asked

You only shake your head and slowly hold his gaze, (e/c) orbs flashing a silent plea that you dare not let pass your lips.

He's incredibly observant and reads you like an open book. George doesn't need you to speak any longer and chuckles softly at your stubbornness.His arms open out to you and the look in his eyes are only invitations you need before you're rushing over into his embrace. You sigh contentedly as you inhale his irresistible scent and relish in the feeling of his arms wrapping around you tightly, pulling you to him as close as he can. George presses his lips to the top of your head and let's you nuzzle into his chest. Watchful and observant eyes shut closed as he runs his fingers through your hair in a attempt to soothe you.

"You don't have to tell me what it was about now," he assures you, "but please do let me know in the morning."

You can only manage a nod against his chest as your own eyes begin to flutter. "George" your whisper carries through the silence and reaches his ears. Beautiful brown orbs open to peer down at you as you finish your thought. "I love you..."

It's barely audible and almost incomprehensible, just a slur of words pieced sloppily together due to the overwhelming wave of fatigue and sleepiness that courses through your body and clouds your mind. It's barely a whisper, yet his ears pick up on your confession and it does its job at warming his heart. He can feel the genuine gratefulness and unconditional love you have for him. And that alone is enough for him to know that your fears are long forgotten. Another press of his soft lips to your forehead is the last thing you register before sleep finally takes over.

However, you are able to catch onto the last sentence he whispers into the night.

"I love you too. I'm always right here if you need me, and I promise to be right here when you wake up."

That statement alone is enough to dispel any more nightmares that lie in your wake.
