Night Terror (Henry Standing Bear x Reader)
•• This isn't very long, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! For my Henry Anon! 😘 ••
Waking up in a cold sweat was nothing new to you. Frankly, it was rare that you didn’t. That first intake of air after waking up always seemed the hardest. Your lungs refused to cooperate and only allowed you to take short and shallow breaths. Tears found themselves at the edge of your eyes as you helplessly stared up at the ceiling. You couldn’t call out to Henry, but you knew he was right there, next to you. It wasn’t long into your panic attack that you heard Henry sigh before rolling over in bed to face you.
“Easy.” He said, voice rough from being his first words in hours. “Breathe with me.” He took in a deep breath and you tried your best to follow him, but your breathing just wouldn’t slow down. His shoulders relaxed. “Do not force yourself.” He took another breath. “Try again.” This time was more successful. He smiled and reached out a hand, wiping away the few tears that had managed to fall down your face. “Good.” It was an intense ten minutes as you and Henry breathed in sync. You finally turned to face him fully, searching for his hands under the covers. He rubbed his thumb across your knuckles, and you sighed.
“Thanks, Henry.” He smiled, eyes blinking sleepily.
“Are you alright?” You nodded.
“No more than usual after one of those.” You chuckled, but Henry didn’t seem to find it funny.
“I mean it, (Y/n). That one lasted longer than usual.” You shrugged.
“I feel fine now.” He gave you a look that said he didn’t quite believe you before pulling you towards him. You let him snake his arm underneath you before wrapping the other around you. This close you could feel Henry’s breath on your face. It was making your face hotter than the panic attack.
“You are not a very good liar.”
“What do you want me to tell you, Henry? I feel like shit and I’m hot as hell?”
“It’s a start.” You laid your head down by his chest and he traced a heart on your back. “I know you know you can tell me these things.”
“Yeah, I know Henry. I just figured you could care less at 4 am.”
“Do not think I do not care, (y/n).” He bent down and kissed the top of your head. “I care about you more than life itself.”
“What movie did you pull that line from?” He paused.
“It was a book.” You laughed. “Go back to sleep. I will keep the monsters at bay.” You smiled. You knew he would, if they ever came physically. Unfortunately, Henry still couldn't do anything about the ones in your head. But he helped you deal with them the best he could.
“Henry.”
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too, (y/n). Now, go back to sleep.”
“I'll try.”
“That is all I can ask.” You felt Henry’s heartbeat as your head lay against his chest. You found the pulse reassuring. Henry would always be there for you when you needed it. That gold band on your finger reminded you of that every day. He reminded you of that every night.
