Dreams (Matt/Elektra)
Mattelektra + dreams
Elektra’s dreams are dark, full of pain and anger and the constant threat of death.
They make her heart race, her breathing ragged as she fights to escape the amorphous monsters trying to engulf her, to tear a hole in the prison-like realm.
Before, she would run until her lungs burned, adrenaline shooting through her sleeping form, everything in her believing she was a bout to die only to wake up screaming and alone.
But now there’s Matt, resting gently with his ear pressed against her sternum, waking in the dead of night to her thundering heart.
His hands gently pull her from the abyss, mouth whispering soothing words into the darkness as he wraps his arms around her, holding her tight until her body relaxes into the safety of his embrace.
