CORPSE | one - shots

No. 02 | SLEEP PARALYSIS

He crawled onto the bed and attempted to stick a knife in my throat.

Just before the demon, I forgot the name I had given him long ago, stabbed me I was woken up.

"Ba- Fucking hell babe. Are you alright?" Corpse asked as he held my shaking body in his arms.

I couldn't do anything except stare off into space and let the tears run down my face as I shook in his embrace.

"Baby?" He asked as he gently pulled me away from him so that he could further examine my body and face.

"Are you alright, Y/n." He asked once again while cupping my cheeks and pulling me to look into his eyes.

"Mhm." I nodded my head and allowed him to wipe my tears away with his thumbs.

I immediately flinched when I heard the bathroom door creek open. "It's alright my love. It's only Sean. He's staying over, remember?" Corpse attempted to calm me.

Sean knocked at our bedroom door which only furthered my shaking and tear flow, "Hey corpse? Y/n?" Sean called out.

"Yea?" Corpse asked as he ran his hands through my hair and brought my face into his chest as close as he could.

"We ordering out tonight?" Corpse let out a sigh and nodded his head even though Sean couldn't see him.

"Yes, Sean." He said back a little annoyed. Sean gave him back a little 'okay thanks' in acknowledgement and proceeded to walk back into the living room he was sleeping in for the night.

It was only around 8:30pm but corpse and myself had been attempting to nap since around 6pm so that we could actually feel rested later tomorrow, knowing that we wouldn't get a lot of sleep tonight.

"Talk to me, baby. And if you're not ready then please take your time."

Corpse went on to whisper sweet nothings in my ear while placing small kisses on my cheeks, ears, neck, forehead, nose, lips, and head. So basically my whole face.

I wiped the rest of my tears — the ones that corpse hadn't already kissed off — away and looked into his worried eyes.

He moved a bit of his hair away from his eyes so that I could really see his face and kissed my lips once again.

"Ready?" He asked me quietly.

I nodded my head and began telling him everything I had experienced in my paralysis, "It was the paralysis again except this time he tried to stick a knife in my neck."

Corpse let out a small gasp and pulled me into his chest while repeatedly kissing my head, "I'm so sorry, Y/n. You shouldn't have to go through this. I remember you telling me that this happens every few months?" He asked while pulling away so he could look at me again.

I nodded my head and began tearing up again, "It's okay to cry, my love." He reassured lovingly.

I don't know what took over me but hearing that made me let everything out. All the pent up stress and anger, all the sadness, every emotion I had been piling up just came rushing out.

"Woah, woah, babe. Settle, settle. You're gonna end up vomi-"

And I did.

I started crying so much that I was hyperventilating, coughing, and gagging, which eventually lead to vomit.... on the floor.

I tried my absolute best to hit the floor instead of corpse's shirt. And though I succeeded, I felt horrible for it still.

"I'm sorr-"

"Stop that. There's no reason for you to be apologizing, Y/n. I understand. Now, why don't you sit tight and let me clean this up, bring you some goodies, and some new clothes, yea?" He said with a small smile.

I nodded my head and layed back on the bed.

He changed the color of the led lights from the nice red to a brighter purple and smiled before leaving the room.

He left the door open just in case I needed him. I smiled at the thought of just how much he must love me to be doing all of this when he shouldn't be.

"Baby?" I called out to him again.

He came jogging down the hallway back into the room and looked around for a moment before locking eyes with me, "What's the matter?"

"Cuddle?" I asked with a small frown. The sigh that he let out quickly turned into a small laugh.

"I thought something was wrong. We can cuddle after I get everything for you, my love. You can wait a few more minutes for 'baby' to get everything settled, yea?" He winked teasingly at the nickname I always called him.

"Mm." I slightly pouted and layed back down on the bed as I watched him vanish down the hallway yet again.

He came back about five minutes later with some towels, mop, hot tea, cold hand towel, and one of his white T-shirts.

He tossed the shirt onto the bed as he sat the tea and hand towel down on my nightstand after placing the towels down on the bed.

"Those are for you, love." He said while motioning towards the tea and towel.

I nodded my head and watched as he grabbed his shirt and placed it carefully in my lap.

"Arms up." He smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and did as he said.

"May I take this off?" He asked while looking at my bra and then at me. I nodded my head and watched even closer as he attempted to unclip it from the back.

He successfully pulled it off and gave a wide smile as he finished. "I did it!" He said like a small child who had just completed a simple task.

I laughed and nodded my head at him, "Mhmmm. Good job baby~" I said happy that he was happy.

He looked at the bra in his hands and then to my chest for a moment before looking into my eyes, "Yes?" I asked him.

"You do that every day?" He asked while looking at the clips on the back of my bra again.

I let out a laugh and nodded my head at him. "Yes, corpse. Most days." I returned the smile that he was giving me and leaned in to kiss him.

I felt a flesh-like sensation on my lips accompanied by something extremely cold that smelled like... metal?

I opened my eyes and saw corpse's finger. That explains the metal smell, all the rings and such.

"Why?"

"You, ma'am, need to go brush." He said very seriously.

I couldn't help but laugh and nod my head, "Of course. But when I get back?"

He nodded his head and pointed to the restroom. I let out another laugh and walked towards it to go and brush my teeth like he had asked.

I didn't blame him, I wouldn't have let anyone kiss me if they had just puked either.
