'Do you want to go back to sleep? You haven't slept long.' It was only a few hours, and he couldn't even sleep through most of it

'I don't want to.'

'I'll be right here with you. I'm not going anywhere, I promise.' He should probably shower, but then he'll just get sweaty again, so there's no point

He reluctantly laid back down, but he was looking at me.

'What is it?' I hum

Instead of talking, his hand went over mine, slowly travelling upwards. He went over my forearm, to my upper arm, to my shoulder, and then to my face, gently cupping it from one side.

I leaned my face a bit into his hand, closing my eye for a moment to enjoy his touch, but him pulling me closer got me to open them up.

I just went along, letting him do what he wants, but I didn't see this coming.

He guided me to his chest, laying me down on himself. He held me close, breathing softly as he leaned his cheek on top of my head.

Like I always did, I put my arm around his ribcage, wrapping myself around him slowly. Feeling him exhale as he relaxed set me at ease a tiny bit.

'Does this help?' I whisper

'A lot.' His fingers in my hair tightened a bit at his words, confirming them

I didn't wanna talk. I just wanted to be with him. So I kept still and silent as I felt him slowly drift off to sleep again.

Good thing his shirt was already wet, so he won't feel a few more tears on it. Him being so confused is confusing me.

I'm happy that he wants me this close and that he's holding me, but it's breaking me knowing that he doesn't know why he wants it.
But if this is what he needs, then I will do anything to help him.

He grumbled a few times, and I was afraid he might go through the same thing again, but he suddenly calmed down, turning on his side and wrapping himself around me instead.

He's killing me here.

Staying this still just to make sure that he's getting some rest got me sleepy as well. His scent is invading my mind as it always had, and his arms around me make me feel safe.

I think he might be waking up slowly. He's gotten a bit fidgety. I gave it a few minutes, not wanting to disturb him, and I was right.

'Mmmmm...' he hummed in that deep voice as his arms tightened a bit around me, then relaxed again. I guess he is more disoriented than he knows because he got startled a little seeing me.

'Rain?'

'Hey.' I spoke softly, not moving a millimetre. 'Good morning.'

'Hey.' He relaxed quickly

'Did you manage to get some rest? Did you have those dreams again?' I ask

'I didn't have any dreams after those first ones. I actually... I slept okay.' He sounded surprised. 'Thank you.' He leaned in, kissing my hair

'There's no need to thank me, Jimin. I'll gladly do this every time you want to. Besides, what's a wife for?' I tease

'Right. A wife.' He chuckles

'I'm gonna go shower. Do you wanna go after me? Or... with me?'

'Umm...'

'I'm only teasing you.' I giggle. 'I know we're not there yet. It's just that I never saw you flustered before, so it's cute.'
