WORD by FairyFreak38: Warmth – n. the quality, state, or sensation of being warm


~WARMTH~

Thoughts about failing on stage have given Lucy nightmares for four nights now. Her first major performance as lead actress was in two days and she hasn't been getting much sleep.

The blonde tossed in her bed and she shivered. Another nightmare has woken her, and she dare not open her eyes to the darkness. The girl groped around for her blanket which seemed to have slipped away from all the tossing. She turned on her side and mumbled something unintelligible.

"Cold," she finally spoke out, half-awake. "Monster audience... Thunder...storms..."

A strong hand slipped underneath her head and pulled her close; Gray laid her head on his chest as if it were a pillow. He volunteered to stay with her that night to comfort her from the nightmares.

"It's just a dream, Lucy," he whispered, "Go back to sleep..."

"Yeah," she replied sleepily. She snuggled closer to his body. "...Bad dream..."

"Yeah... A bad dream..." he repeated.

"Gray... senpai...?" she muttered, almost asleep now.

"Hm...?"

"I... love you..."

"I know..."

Lucy surrendered to her lover's warmth; and that night she slept peacefully.
