Ch. 84: Nightmares
Day: 84
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
Genre: Family
Summary: Iggy has a nightmare.
"Mom?" A thin, quivering voice bit through Lucy's slumber. She simply groaned in response, not yet willing to drag herself into consciousness. But, the small disturber was having none of it. "Mom," he said again, this time insistently.
"What?" Lucy asked, a little bit exasperatedly, as she pulled herself into a sitting position. However, as she got a better look at her son, all signs of annoyance vanished.
He was visibly shaking, knuckles white as he clenched his stuffed dragon like a lifeline. His eyes were wide, filled with fear and the beginnings of tears.
"Oh, sweetie," Lucy said empathetically, and pulled her blonde son into her lap. Once he was there, she wrapped her arms around him, sheltering him, protecting him. She rocked him back and forth, back and forth, whispering little soothing nothings in his ear all the while.
After all, who knew how long it would be until Iggy stopped looking to her for consoling.
