Late again! I'm so, SO sorry! I really suck at deadlines. Life keeps getting in the way of my fanfiction writing!
I wish I owned Fangirl, but I don't.
N is for Nightmares
Baz shot up with a start upon hearing the pained screaming from beside him. Although it was very late, and he had little sleep that night, he sprung to action, immediately wide awake. He pulled Simon- who was still asleep despite his cries- into his arms and held him tight, rocking back and forth saying in a strong voice "Simon, love, wake up. It's just a dream, I'm right here. You've got to wake up." He continued this until Simon woke up with a sob "The Humdrum!" He said wildly "It's here, Baz it came back!" Baz continued to rock his boyfriend back and forth. "It was just a dream, Si. You beat it years ago, and it is never ever coming back." Simon just buried his face in Baz's chest and shook his head. "It all felt so real."
"Hey." Baz said seriously, holding Simon at arm's length so that he could look him in the eye. "It's over. You won. And if he ever does manage to crawl out if hell, which he won't, I'll be right there, and I'll protect you. Do you understand?" the Mage's Heir nodded and gave a watery smile "I'm sorry I woke you up."
"Don't be. I owe you one. Or two. Or twenty. Or... well the point is, you've saved my life millions of times in millions of ways, and it's time I returned the favor." He pulled Simon close and kissed his forehead softly. "Now go back to sleep." he said. Simon nodded and snuggled closer to the vampire. Just as he was drifting off, he whispered "I love you, Baz." Baz smiled "Love you too, Snow."
I have a headcanon that after the big, final battle with the Humdrum (which Simon wins), Simon gets nightmares sometimes, and Baz is the only one who can calm him down.
Next chapter should (hopefully) be finished by Saturday night, but I have a big concert coming up so it might be more like Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for reading, and please leave a review!
