A/N: I think it's been a whole day since I've updated. I should be going quicker. XD This is the first part of my drabble duet "Nightmarish". I feel that both sides of this story are interesting.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade.
Nightmarish
Part One
Max kept his eyes rested carefully on Mariam. She'd woken him up moments ago with her shallow breathing and tossing and turning. She appeared to be plagued by a feverish nightmare which he confirmed by spying two cheeks tainted with a fever-induced blush.
Max moved his hand to hover over Mariam's face. He longed to touch her cheek, to awake her from this cursed demon of dreams, but something kept his hand floating inches away.
He hated himself for thinking this but with her small whimpers, pink cheeks, and sweet state of surrender, she had a strangely alluring aura about her. It was rare for Mariam to show such vulnerability and when she did she was a different type of beauty, just as wonderful as her usual self. The foreignness of her as she was kept him staring at her as he withdrew his hand.
"MAX!"
She sat up quickly, reaching outward with one hand. Her sudden outcry and movement almost caused him to fall out of bed. Her eyes were wide with fearful memories of what she'd just seen in the twisted world of nightmares. Reaching over, he clasped the frightened girl's hand.
"I'm here."
A/N: I'm not really fond of this one. I like the next part (Mariam's part) better. I think I'm being a little cruel in these two drabbles so I'm going to have to make the next one I write pure happy goodness.
Review?
