Resolve My Nightmares
All-human, adult AU. Transgender Alex & her/his boyfriend Magnus have an apartment.
Magnus Chase was not having a good night.
He woke up drenched in sweat for the third time after another nightmare, then glanced anxiously over at Alex, hoping he hadn't awoken- her. Looking at Alex's open and girlish-looking eyes, Magnus sighed. "Sorry," he whispered. "Did I wake you up?"
Alex shrugged. "Well, you did, but that's ok. Bad dream?"
Magnus nodded. "Again, unfortunately. Sorry for waking you up."
"It's fine," insisted Alex. "In fact, I'm not that tired, to be honest. Did you want to go back to sleep though?"
Magnus frowned. "I don't think I'm that tired either, actually. Don't want to get another horrible dream, anyway."
He reached under the covers for Alex's hand and held it. "I'm so sorry that this keeps happening. I don't know why I can't have normal bad dreams that shut me up or whatever. I don't want you to be sleep-deprived, honest."
Alex shook her head jokingly. "I don't believe you. I think you're trying to fake your way into ruining my sleep patterns." She laughed. "Of course not. It's fine, Magnus, I swear. Is there any way I can help?"
Suddenly, a smile played across Magnus' lips. "You could distract me..."
"Oh, really?"
"Yup."
With that short dialogue, Alex leant towards her boyfriend and kissed him hard, wrapping her arm around his warm torso. He kissed back for a minute or so, before his lips grew stiller and she looked down at the pillow, where his head was now resting on her arm, Magnus having fallen asleep, still intertwined with Alex. She smiled softly, but couldn't help being a bit worried. Magnus must've been quite tired, and he kept getting those dreams.
Well, getting no sleep yourself won't help, she thought, and lay next to Magnus, snuggling into his heat as she closed her eyes.
