Isaac Lahey Imagines

Big Brother

Warnings: Reader has nightmares of Isaac and Reader's abusive home life

The plate dropped to the ground and your eyes locked on your brothers from across the room. The sound of it shattering into tiny pieces was almost like a warning bell for the both of you, Isaac quickly pushed his chair back as a glass was launched towards you, taking the blow as he crushed you to his chest and told you it was going to be ok.

"I'm sorry Isaac!" You yelped when he was grabbed and dragged towards the basement.

You threw you blankets back, gasping for air as the nightmare left your body coated in sweat, Melissa's room was just next door so she heard you cry out and had hurried in. She wrapped you in a tight hug as you sobbed into her shoulder.

"It's alright (Y/N), if you have a bad dream you can find me ok." Melissa said gently.

"Ok." You whimpered.

Isaac could smell the aftermath of your nightmare, despite Melissa spending her morning off with you. He engulfed you in a warm bear hug and ruffled your hair, Scott tried to talk to you but as usual you just looked at him, your wide eyes that matched Isaac's watched him carefully.

"You ready for school?" Isaac asked with a goofy grin.

"Yeah." You sighed reluctantly.

"What classes do you have?" Scott asked. You glanced at Isaac and slipped the hand, that wasn't shoveling cereal into your mouth, in his. "Never mind, I don't feel like talking much in the mornings anyway."

"Right, I'm working all day and possibly an afternoon shift, food's in the cupboards and none of you are to skip school... No wolf powers either" Melissa said as she pointed at the three of you on her way to the door.

You woke up with a faint gasp. Unlike most night you had nightmares Melissa and Isaac were both out so you lay alone in the dark. When every sound the house made had your heart pounding you decided that maybe you'd ask Scott for a hug.

There was a soft thud as your feet hit the carpet, teddy bear clutched in front of you as if to fend off whatever could be lurking in the dark, shuffling quietly to Scott's room. At first you knocked but he didn't wake up which alarmed you because you knew Isaac was with Derek and your brother never left you alone.

You let out a small relieved breath when you found Scott snoring in his bed, shyly shuffling up to him and poking his shoulder. When Derek had turned Isaac he'd taken you in to so you knew wolves didn't mind pack cuddles but you weren't sure about Scott.

He was your brothers Alpha and best friend, plus whenever he smiled at you, you turned a light shade of pink. A loud creak had you forgetting any worries as you slid into Scott's bed and curled up so you weren't leaning on him, keeping an eye on the door as you tried to fall asleep.

Scott woke up when he rolled over only to feel something heavy tugging at his t-shirt. He froze when he realized you were snuffling the ear of your bear while clutching onto his shirt and burying your face in his side.

He was utterly stumped as to what he should do, unlike your relationship with Melissa you hadn't taken to Scott when you moved in with Isaac, you looked exhausted so he didn't want to wake you in case you got spooked and didn't go back to sleep.

"I'm sorry Isaac." You yelped, the scent of fear and blinding panic hit Scott so hard his nose stung and his eyes began to water.

You shot up and Scott gripped onto you as you flailed around as you yelled about being let out, it was only now that Scott realised why Isaac had taken a lot of persuading to leave you at home.

"Shh, it's ok (Y/N)." Scott muttered as he stroked your hair. "Deep breath, that's it."

He continued to coo and fuss over you until you were sleepily relaxed again and let you settle your head on his shoulder, your small hand clutched in his, the way Isaac would have held it.

"Do you think Isaac hates me?" you asked quietly.

"What no he adores you!" Scott said quickly as you snuffled. He grabbed the edge of his shirt and wiped your eyes and nose, making you feel awkward.

"But he used to get told off for the things I did." You said sombrely. Scott flipped over and pulled faces until you were laughing at him, deciding to use the time to think of an answer.

"If he didn't love you would he have rescued you all the time?" Scott asked.

"No I suppose not." You mumbled.

"You know... it's Saturday and We're the only ones here, we could have pancakes and ice cream for breakfast." Scott smiled when you broke into a grin.

"Can we watch cartoons?" You asked hopefully.

"Yes and we can turn my bed into a fort." Scott said as he high fived you.

Isaac returned home late in the afternoon, finding you and Scott laughing at his laptop as you both ate junk food and watched as many cartoons as you could. Isaac climbed into the fort and scooped you into him, finally being able to relax when he knew you were ok.

"Thanks for watching her." Isaac muttered when you fell asleep in your brother's lap.

"It's fine, she's a real sweet kid." Scott said back, your hand still in his as the boys decided to stay put and watch old movies till you woke up.
