Mettaton x Reader

Scenario: If you, or he, has nightmares!

When nightmares strike

Nightmares were a rarity, at least if we are talking about Mettaton. But they did happen, and they often caused him to jump or force him up from his sleep. Often, he would awake late at night, his soul beating as he clenched his stomach tight whilst he breathed slowly. Glancing around, he would find you still sleeping, making Mettaton realize it was just a dream after all. Mettaton would then take a few moments to find himself and breath, before he then went ahead to unplug himself then get out of bed. He was careful not to wake you as he did, leaving your room to get himself a drink or treat to help calm himself. He would come back after a few minutes, climb back in bed, before wrapping himself under the covers before feeling you move closer to him and cuddle him. If his nightmares happened often enough, you would realize how more tired he was getting when you were with him, this only was made more obvious when you were side by side just living your normal lives together. He seemed so tired and worried, unable to focus. It wouldn't be long until you confronted him about it, to which he'd finally tell you in a moment of weakness. After this, you learned just what his nightmares were, what they were about, and how you could help him.

If it was you who had nightmares to deal with, then it would be Mettaton who would find out. Despite how seemingly self-centered he may be, he was still quite observant and he would still recognize how you were being affected. If you woke up at night, and were forced to stay up, he'd pick up on your lack of sleep. If he found you being or acting a bit jumpy in the mornings, that only confirmed his theory. Then, he would confront you, and ask what was keeping you up. If it was tricky to explain, or you didn't feel like telling him just yet, then he would understand and wouldn't push you. But h would remind you he was there to help in case you needed it, but to not be afraid to ask. You would agree. If you accepted right then and there, then Mettaton would cancel any and all appointments at that time, then would ask you about what exactly it was. After sometime, finding the right words and/or way to reveal what your nightmare was, mettaton would help you in any way he could.

No matter each way, either of your nightmares wouldn't last long (if they did before you either found out) and you two would soon be sleeping once again. Time later and you and Mettaton would be cuddling together and sleeping in peace.
