in the night
Lupin, when not engaging in criminal activities, was a sound sleeper. Especially if was bussy throughout the day nothing could wake him up. Except whatever hit his face.
He woke up with a jump, looking all around the room till he feels another hit to his side. Sleep leaving his body he now noticed what going on as he look over to your side of the bed. Covers were kick off you, you had a pained look as you slept, and you kept moving as if something was after you.
A nightmare
You were having a nightmare
A pretty bad one too
"S-stop.."
"Hey, (y/n)?" Lupin gently touched you shoulder to try to wake you.
It was rare you had nightmares
Actually Lupin is more prone to nightmares then you
"(Y/n)?!" He shook you now seeing as your dream seemed to be getting more intense, giving how bad you had started to thrash in the bed. "Lupin!" You shot up looking all round till you see him. He pulls you close and let you cling to him. He can practically feel how fast your heart is beating.
"Hey its okay....your okay." He rubs your back. He waits for you to calm down, which makes him just a bit anxious. He knows the past hasn't been kind to you. There are things you haven't told him. Before you joined up with him you had your own stuff going on...sometimes when you did have a nightmare it had something to do with that.
You let him have views of your life sometimes. Not enough to have a full picture, but enough for him to fill in the spaces of your time before him. They were rare moments often shared when you felt overwhelmed, he just hopes that the nightmare wasnt about your past. You shift in his hold and he stops to let you do what you needed. You hold his hand, your fingers on his wrist for a moment before he sees your shoulders slump down. You let out a breath and get close to him. "That bad?" He mutters.
"Yeah...it was pretty bad." You mess with the hem of his white tank top. "It was the hist we pulled back six months ago."
The hist that almost ended up killing him.
Most of the hist he pull have a bit of danger to them, the potential of death always hanged around, but this time...so many things had went wrong in that hist. Too many brushes with death.
It had almost seemed like they were never gonna get out of that place. Every turn something or someone was ready for them. It wasn't till the end where the danger really picked up. A boobietrap had went off because one of the goons set it off and well... he was close to where it set off. The explosion had cause the part of the building to collapse and there was so much fire. Lupin had been knocked out from the explosion and had almost got stuck under the rubble. Jigen had been the one that close enough to get to him in time before he could get stuck.
That night never left your thoughts
It had taken you a while to even rest since you never left Lupins side as he rested in the bed. You didn't sleep an once.
"I'm here...alive and kicking. " He mutters. "I know...I know..."
He moves you so that the both of you can rest back on the bed. You pull him close to you, a part of you still scared from the nightmare. You hadn't been use to counting on people...you didn't have to back then. But now...
You have someone who you care about and love, and they've shown you a world you didn't think you could have. Lupin let's out a Humm. It's a but rare to you to be clingy unlike him who's always touching you. He rubs your back helping you both go back to sleep.
He waits till you breathing has slowed, letting him know your sleeping now, still holding on to his tank top. He places a kiss on your foreheads before going to sleep himself
