You jolted up, frantically tapping the bed, feeling for Freed as your vision was blurry from suddenly awakening, you felt a hand grab yours in a panic as Freed rushed to sit up, you were sweating profusely and your whole body was shaking, Freed wrapped his arms around you when he noticed you were crying, "darling you'll be ok" he whispered, he reached and grabbed a hair tie, tying your hair loosely behind you to keep your hair out of your face as he cradled your face in his shoulder. "I-I'm sorry" you shuddered, "crying is perfectly fine... it's ok... it's just you and me" he assured, pressing soft kisses to your head as he calmed you down. Stroking your head weakly, you settled down in the comfortable silence, "you'll always be safe with me I promise, can you tell me what happened so I can help?" he whispered, you shook your head, not wanting to relive the nightmare that was playing over in your mind. He nodded weakly, "here, breathe with me" he said quietly, noticing how you were hyperventilating and trying hard to settle your own breathing, after a few seconds of counting and slow deep breaths you calmed yourself down enough to hold your head. "Come on, let's get you something to drink ok? I don't want to leave you alone" he said softly, you crawled onto his bare back, slithering your arms around his neck while he held your legs and carried you to the kitchen, where he made you a cup of tea without putting you down.
You haven't had a nightmare in a while, you don't even think you'd had one while you were with Freed, you got worried he would completely freak out but in reality, he was so much more gentle and loving than you had ever seen him, he treated you with such fragile care, like you were his little doll that could shatter, he set you down at the table before giving you the cup of hot tea. "Thank you..." you whimpered, your hands still shaking, "can I hold your hand?" you asked quietly, he laughed, stopping himself quickly, "sorry... I just find it cute you still feel the need to ask" he said as he held out his hand, you quickly took it, holding it tightly. "You're safe now" he assured me as he lifted my hand and kissed the top, he picked you up bridal style and walked over to the couch in the living room, sitting down with you comfortably on his lap, you rubbed his bare shoulder as you straddled him, his arms wrapped around your lower back as he laid his tired head on your shoulder. He was still tired and you felt bad for waking him, he noticed how you tensed up, he pressed chaste kisses against your neck and collar, "I'm sorry" you mumbled, drinking from the cup, he laughed quietly against your shoulder. "I love you so much... I just want you to feel better, I don't care about my sleep, you come first" he said in a tired voice, pulling back to look you in the eyes, he brushed the strands of hair that covered your face back, before giving you a gentle kiss, "it was just a bad dream... but this is real life and I'm here, it's gonna be ok" he whispered loving words against your lips as he brought you back to reality.
"We should get some rest now hm? Or do you wanna stay up and watch movies?" he asked, giving you the choice, "sleep" you muttered, even if you had a nightmare, you were still tired, and you knew that Freed was too, even if he was willing to bear it for your sake, he nodded as he picked you up and carried you back in the room, you finished drinking the tea and set it on the table. Freed laid you down and took the hair tie out of your hair, before he laid down beside you, you cuddled closer against his chest, wanting to be as close as possible, he used one arm to stay wrapped behind you, making sure you stayed close, and the other was playing with your hair. "Remember the time... when we went on our first date? We were so nervous... I think we said about twelve words the entire day" he said making you giggle quietly at the memory, "and one day when we went to the beach together... I couldn't even form sentences, so when I tried to compliment you, I said you have nice shoulders" he said and you smiled, nodding weakly. "Or maybe... when we were together for our first year... and the guild surprised us by throwing a huge party for us, and Asuka asked when we'd get married?" he asked, you smiled, "it'll be three years soon... three years since I got the courage to ask you to be mine... but not three years since I've been in love, no... it's been much longer than that" he said proudly as he kept twirling my hair around his fingers.
"I wonder when the perfect time will come... I'm ready" he said softly, you were already halfway to dreamland, so his words weren't processing in your mind, he knew that, "how many kids do you think... one? two? Could we handle three? Laxus, Bickslow and Evergreen are like children... we could handle three" he said quietly, his eyes slowly becoming lidded as he got sleepier, "I wonder if they'll have my green hair... your maybe they'll have your hair... hm it'd be fun to see them have my eyes... mini us's, it'd be fun to raise kids hm?" he hummed, you were already out cold, Freed kissed your forehead with a proud smile. "Goodnight my love."
