Prompt #21-If one of you has a nightmare
A/N: This is for agent-jawa. We hope you enjoy it.
LANCE
-If it was him...
-You'd probably only know if you heard or found him crying
-He really doesn't want to bother you if you don't come to him
-If you found out right after...
-He would probably be the one comforting you because as odd as it sounds it just boosts his confidence
-If you tried to reverse this, he would hush you and just keep snuggling you
-He would fall back asleep cuddling you so good luck getting back to wherever you were if you weren't with him originally
-If it was you…
-He checks on you every night so even if you didn't wake him up he'd know
-Even if you insisted you were fine, he isn't leaving you alone
-He won't ask what it was about, in case it would frazzle you even further
-He would just stroke your hair and lull you back to sleep with little whispers of how much he loves you and that it's ok
-If you're taking a while he might even sing a quiet song/lullaby that his mother and siblings sang to him back at home
MATT
-If it was him…
-He knows that you won't be annoyed, and he would not hesitate to wake you up
-He would probably just say something about the Galra (if you asked what it was about), and after a little bit of you comforting him, fall right back asleep
-When he wants to, he falls asleep very quickly
-He likes it when this comforting includes any form of physical contact; he likes the feel of your warmth
-He isn't usually very frazzled by nightmares once he realizes that is what they were; he is usually able to sort out his thoughts pretty quickly after
-If it was you…
-He would insist that you at least try to tell him what happened
-If you refused to talk, he would probably give you a quick kiss and tell you that it's over now
-Once you at least partially explain what happened, he would try to tell you why that wouldn't actually happen- and if it did what he would do to stop it.
-He doesn't understand why nightmares can be that big of a deal, as he's always been smart enough to recognize it for the importance it actually is
-He does, though, understand that people can still be upset by them and while he won't get too emotional, he will try to help you sort yourself out.
Lotor
If it was him…
-In all honesty, he probably doesn't have nightmares too much
-He doesn't like to let stuff linger on his mind or bother him enough to form a nightmare; the past is the past.
-However, when he does have one, you usually find out before he (consciously) does
-You'll usually hear him tossing and turning
-You'd have to wake him up out of it if it wasn't already proper time to wake up for the day
-Otherwise, he'll sleep right through it
-If you wake him up while he's having one, he will be on edge for maybe 30 seconds, and then he'll try to pretend it never happened, and that it didn't bother him
-It really didn't bother him too much either; he's more concerned about the fact that it's over than what happened in it.
-He's more concerned about you losing sleep over him than whatever nightmare he just had
-Will go right back to sleep, no harm no foul
-If the next day you notice he is very tired (w/o you waking him up out of it), he will just say "oh I had a bad dream, but it really isn't that big of a deal."
-Unless he is bleeding out onto the ground, he tries not to be a source of stress and fret for those he cares about.
If it was you…
-Similar to Matt, he doesn't see the big deal of it
-He doesn't get scared too easily, and definitely not by any nightmare he could have
-Of course, he will try to comfort you
-It might seem a little forced the first time or two, but he eventually gets the gist of helping you get over a nightmare
-Will 11/10 try to cuddle you back to sleep
-When he wants to be, he's a giant sweetie
