7. Nightmare
Happy jolted awake from the screams and wailing of arms from Toby next to her.
"AaARARRRrrggghHHH! AAAHhhh! GruNt GrUnt AAAAAA ARRRGH! PLLLeas-Aaaaaaah!" Toby screamed next to her, sweat pouring down his face and his arms fighting against the covers around him
"Toby, baby, it's just a nightmare. Toby!" Happy pleaded at the man lying next to her and after gently shaking his shoulder and repeating his name to him a few times she had him awake.
Him blinking up into her brown eyes.
"It was just a nightmare." Happy cooed at him
He raised a shaking hand up to his hair. "God- I'm so sorry Hap. I'm so sorry" he stammed out before bursting into tears. Happy laid there holding him, his head nestled into her chest before sleep enveloped them both again.
The next few days were like lazy sundays, both of them chilled out in the Pj's either in Toby's bed or the couch watching TV and ordering takeout as Happy refused to cook much to Toby's relief. Happy ran around him trying to help him in various ways to stop him being too strenuous and always pulled back away from him when their kisses started to become too passionate, telling Toby he had to wait until he was more healed, she was terrified of hurting him.
"You almost gave me a heart attack my first night back in this place with you in your sexy little nurse's costume on your knees sucking me" he growled as he grabbed her butt and spanked it, trying to pull her onto his lap for the fifth time in the past half hour. She blushed at him before pulling back shaking her head gently "Uh-uh, besides I was just showing you what you could miss if you ever go out on a mission with Walter by yourself again! I want you here safe with me. Plus we have all the time in the world for sex, but right now babe, you're in pain I can see it on your face and your entire chest and tummy are covered in bruises and don't even get me started on your gunshot wound!" Toby put his hands up, surrendering to his love, loving her more for the concern in her voice and worlds that she was saying.
He pulled her close, kissing her slowly and deeply. "I love you Happy."
"I love you too" she breathed back
"And if that's the case, and I have to keep my hands off that sexy body of yours, I have another idea" Toby stated as Happy raised her eyebrows at him.
"I want to go to the garage today" Toby said looking into her eyes for his answer.
"Oh- uh well the team aren't there today, they are doing some work up in Canada and shouldn't be back until late afternoon tomorrow… Uh- I dunno are you sure about this? Why would you want to, are you bored here with me?"
"Bored with you, oh god no Hap. I've been on cloud 9 since you brought me home from the hospital. I just want to go back to the garage, there's no point putting it off. I thought it might help me confront what I went through and that might help with my nightmares." Toby said hopefully at her before looking down. "I'm having nightmares every night of being beaten up, thinking I was going to die and not ever seeing you again, the hospital… I thought facing up to what happened by going to the garage would help me let go of this and try to move on. If anything it's great the gang won't be there, I wouldn't want to face too many questions or them fussing around me."
Toby looked up for Happy, but she had already jumped off the sofa, pulling on a sweatshirt and jamming her feet into her shoes as she picked up the keys. "Come on them, Cowboy" she winked at him. "You're completely right about confronting your nightmares, anything to get those to stop for you I'm completely in to. If this is what's going to help you, let's go."
Toby grinned at her, jumping up gently, pulling his jacket and shoes on. He kissed the top of her head, "God I love you." Before walking out of the door.
Happy swallowed, hoping he didn't notice her workstation. She had completely forgotten about it until just this minute and she didn't want to explain herself to him, especially after all that he's been through. Her stuff was unimportant compared to him right now and she didn't want to get into it with him. If he hadn't explained his nightmare theory so well to her, she would have done anything to plead him to stay a few more days in the flat with her first. Snuggled up and warm in the safety of his home, lazy kisses and "i love you's" , bad TV and take outs. Despite the trauma of what Toby had been through, the pain and his new nightmares, Happy felt like she was in heaven and wasn't ready to wake up from it yet.
