Geektopia on ao3 asked for Bloom/Sky, sharing a bed.
Even though the sun had gone down hours ago, the night air still held the bite of the day's heat, reminding any creature still wandering around that summer was almost upon them. It was not this that had sweat beading at Bloom's temples however, as she crept through the front gates of Red Fountain. Nor was it the possibility of getting caught, but rather it was the lingering effect of the nightmare she'd just woken from.
Flashes of the dream dashed across Bloom's mind; a high cruel laugh, clawed nails that left red scratches in their wake, a monster that wore her face and spoke in her voice as it tormented her friends. Bloom shuddered and hurried on, ducking around a corner to avoid a patrolling teacher, and hurrying towards the wing that she knew held the student dorms.
The front door to the guy's dorm twisted easily in her grasp, and she paused only to glance covertly up and down the hallway before slipping inside. Bloom held her breath as she padded across the common area and approached the door to Sky and Brandon's room. Her eyes immediately went to the latter's bed as she stepped through the doorway, but the brunette slept on, not even stirring as she inched towards the other side of the room.
"Bloom?"
She winced and bit her lip as she glanced at Sky. The blonde had pulled himself up on one elbow and was rubbing at his eyes like he wasn't completely sure that she was really there.
"Hey," she murmured, stepping closer. "How are you?"
Sky frowned and ignored the question. "Are you okay?"
Bloom shivered despite the heat and rubbed subconsciously at her arms. "Yeah, I- I'm fine."
Sky reached up and took her hand, tangling their fingers together. "Bloom," he said, squeezing gently. "Are you okay?"
Bloom forced herself to smile, but she could feel it wavering. "Just a nightmare. It was nothing."
Sky looked at her for a long moment, still blinking a little blearily. Then he wriggled over on the bed and pulled back the covers, gesturing for her to join him. Bloom shifted her weight, debating for only a moment, before climbing in. The bed was narrow but they made it work, both lying on their sides facing each other, not touching anywhere except for where Sky still held her hand, stroking the skin absently with his thumb.
"Better?" he asked.
Bloom nodded, already feeling the tension bleed out of her, lulled by Sky's presence. Sleep was already fast approaching once more and she had a feeling that this time it would be much more peaceful.
Geektopia asked for this one and it took me a long time to come up with a scenario that made sense in my head. Ended up going with end of s2-era after Darkar, the Trix, and Dark!Bloom are defeated, and Bloom has a nightmare about the things Dark!Bloom made her do.
Hope you all liked it, and still happy to take requests (list of prompts are in the notes of the first ch) I just can't promise when I'll have it written by lmao.
