"Alright, time for sleep," Night said as he pulled the cable from the Playstation out of the wall. "You have to work tomorrow, remember?"

"I don't wanna sleeppp.." I complained. "I've been having trouble falling asleep lately. Plus, my nightmares have gotten worse."

I joined Night in our bed and gave him my best pouty-face.

"You suck. Worst boyfriend ever award goes to you," I snapped, turning away from his gaze.

"I'm just looking out for ya, bean. I'm sorry if I'm making you upset," Night said, running his fingers through my hair. "C'mon, babe, don't be like this."

I sighed. I couldn't resist him. I turned back around, and gave him a small smile.

"I love you, my bean," Night said, placing a kiss on my forehead. "If anything happens tonight, nightmares or anything, wake me up and I'll help you through it, kay?"

"Okay." I said, looping my arm through his. I placed my head on his chest. "I will."

I drifted off about an hour later, but awoke because I had indeed, had another nightmare. In this particular one, Night turned into a werewolf (not the sexy half human kind) and he ate me alive with no regrets. It scared the living shit outta me. I woke up from the dream, panting loudly. I could feel my heart in my chest, pounding so loud I was scared Night would hear it and wake up. 

I glanced over at him, and he was still fast asleep. I let out a sigh, and just as I did, he flipped over so he was facing me. He wrapped his meaty, warm arms around my waist and he hugged me to his chest. 

"I told you to wake me up if you had any nightmares," he said, whispering in my ear softly. "Now, I'm gonna help you. I'll protect you from your bad dreams as best as I can."

I let my head rest on his chest as we fell asleep together. And guess what? The extreme love and power of Night's cuddles broke the monsters in my nightmares, and I was finally able to have a piece of mind.
