You’ve Got Me

prompt; #7: “But you’ve already got me”

requested by: @xiuhanforthewin pairing: Hiromu Takahashi / Female OC warnings: fluff a/n: it’s sooo super short but i struggled with this big time, only because i wanted to make sure i did heartbreakingly earnest Hiromu justice. props to @breadclubrising for letting me discuss my Hiromu thoughts lmao tags: @wrestlingismyfavourite @devittsbalor @fireangel1978 @laziestgirlintheworld @vipervenomisgoodforyou @onewingedgloria @littlebluespoon @narwhalneglect @princesstoniii

When she wakes with a scream, Hiromu is shocked into a state of awareness. He’s been drooling into the pillow, his mouth wet as the material he’s sleeping on, and Daryl is curled into his chest the way that Pipa was curled into his back.

It takes him a long second to comprehend what’s just happened, but then he’s flinging the sheets from his body and spinning and he gets so caught up in trying to turn around that he probably whacks Daryl in the face more times than he’d care to admit— but he’s half upright now and facing Pipa, his Pipa, who has tears streaming down her face and her hand pressed over her mouth.

“Pipa?” Hiromi asks, and he can feel the dread settling into his body because no, no, his Pipa will not feel like this even if it is from a stupid dream. “Pipa-chan, what’s wrong?”

“It’s okay, it’s fine, I just had a bad dream—“

Hiromu doesn’t believe that she’s fine. “But you’re crying!”

“Am I?”

He frowns and drags his thumb under her eye before thrusting the glistening tear in her face. “Tears. You’re not okay, Pipa-chan, tell me what’s wrong and let me help you.”

“Hiromu, please…” when Hiromu only frowns harder, Pipa rolls her eyes at him. “I had a bad dream, okay? I had a dream that I was all alone while my parents were in a car crash and I couldn’t get to them in time. It was a bad dream, Hiromu, that’s all… can we please go back to sleep?”

Hiromu shakes his head at her. “No.”

Instead of letting Pipa go back into her bad dream, Hiromu grabs Daryl from behind him and presses him firmly into Pipa’s chest, tries to ignore the look she gets on her face because he knows, he knows that even if she doesn’t understand how important Daryl is, Daryl understands how important Pipa-chan is to him.

“Daryl will make sure the dreams don’t come back,” he tells her confidently. “Your parents won’t die and you won’t be alone. You’ve got Daryl to make sure of it. But you’ve already got me, so I don’t know why you’d be alone.”

When Pipa just stares at him for a moment longer, Hiromu lets a wide grin spread across his face. He knows it’s infectious to her. And, soon enough, she’s grinning back at him. “I’ve already got you,” Pipa repeats him, nodding to herself.  She looks at him a little hopeful, bashful even. “Hold me?”

Hiromu’s smile almost splits his face.

(When the bad dream doesn’t come back, Pipa says that it was because of him. Hiromu thinks it’s because of Daryl, and promises to give his friend a proper thank you later.)
