Steve sat up straight in bed, âWhat the?â He questioned, violently rubbing his eyes with the back of his hands. When he pulled them away they were wet. He couldnât see around him because the room was dark, so his hands moved over the mattress until it came into contact with (Y/n)âs body.
Steve relaxed instantly, the dream was still very vivid. In his dream (Y/n) and Steve had a fight about something silly, and just as she drove off her car hit something, maybe the sidewalk, and it flipped over, rolling a few times. He would run over to the car, everything in slow motion.
When he did eventually reach the car he would look in to the eyes of (Y/n).
Steve let out a small breath as his head relaxed back on to the pillow, his arm snaked around (Y/n)âs waist and he pulled her close to him. Her hair fell over his face and he tried to get it out of his mouth without waking her up.
After heavily contemplating to cut her (h/c) hair off completely, he fell back into a deep sleep.
He woke up sweating again, this dream was just as terrible as the first. In this dream (Y/n) was attacked by the monster he helped Nancy and Jonathan fight. He couldnât get to her in the dream, and when he finally did she had the exact same expression on her dead face.
Just like heâs seen for a few days now, every night the same things happen in his dreams, always ending in (Y/n) dying.
Steve sat up and rubbed his hands over his face, a little worried when he didnât see (Y/n) next to him in the bed. He got out of bed and picked his jeans up that he carelessly had thrown on the floor next to the bed the previous night.
He looked at himself in the mirror, running his hands through his hair in an attempt to fix the bed hair. His eyes landed on his face, he looked pail and had slight circles underneath his eyes. Probably from the lack of sleep.
âOuch, fuck!â (Y/n)âs voice cried out, Steve spun around. He almost ran in to the door on his way out of the room, he took the steps two at a time. â(Y/n)?â he called out. âIn here.â Her voice came from the kitchen. Steve heard something fall and then the tap water running.
âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â He questioned, walking over towards her, inspecting her hand that she kept underneath the running water. âThe knife slipped and sliced me.â Steveâs face went even more pail.
âBabe, you need to be careful working with knives.â Steveâs voice came out more as a whine. (Y/n) looked at him, worry took over her face. âWhatâs wrong?â She asked, then turned the water off and wrapped a paper towel around her finger.
âSteve?â She questioned. Steve was searching through the medical cabinet, in search of a band aid. He didnât look at her, thinking the dreams were weird and that she would think heâs weird.
âBabe?â (Y/n) questioned impatiently.
âJust didnât sleep well, okay.â Steve snapped, he didnât mean to snap at her. Steve turned, walking towards her with the band aid. âHand.â He demanded, (Y/n) sighed and gave her hand to him. She could see something was bothering Steve, but she didnât want to push him to tell her.
âIâll finish this.â Steve said, pointing to the toast and half open bacon pack. (Y/n) frowned and shook her head, âNo babe, I got it. I wanted to make some breakfast for you.â Her smile was warm as she reached out to tuck Steveâs thick locks behind his ear.
âYeah, but youâre working with the stove and that gets super-hot.â Steve said, pointing towards the stove. He realized how weird that probably sounds. âI mean⌠I wanted to make some breakfast for you.â He pulled (Y/n) towards him, wrapping his arms around her waist.
âI mean, if you want toâŚâ Steve nodded and led (Y/n) out of the kitchen to the tv room.
âHere, you can sit here and not do anything while I get shit done.â Steve mumbled. âOkay, what is wrong with you?â Steve just shook his head. âNothing, just trying to make you comfortable.â (Y/n) noticed him dragging his long fingers through his hair, indicating that he was nervous. (Y/n) just nodded her head and sat down.
âDo you want to go for a walk?â (Y/n) asked, she was bored out of her mind, Steve has made her sit and watch tv for the entire day. âA walk?â Steve questioned, looking like he was thinking about it.
His eyes widened, then he turned his head towards her slowly. âBut there are bears.â He whispered, causing (Y/n) to laugh. âIâve lived here my entire life and Iâve never seen one.â Steve shook his head.
âOkay, how about we go for a drive?â the dream from last night was still fresh in his mind and he shook his head violently causing his hair to go everywhere.
âOutside is, isâŚâ he sank down on to the couch, covering himself with the blanket up to his chin. âIs dangerous.â
(Y/n) frowned then turned her entire body towards him. âWhat. Are. You. Talking. About?â her annoyance clear in her voice.
Steve didnât say anything, which made her annoyance turn into anger. âIf you donât want to talk about it then fine, Iâll go home.â Just as (Y/n) got up from the couch Steve grabbed her hand, pulling her back towards him. He gripped her in an embrace and stuck his cheek right up to hers, with his one hand he patted her head. âMust, protect.â He said in a monotone.
(Y/n) pushed him away, then started laughing as she stood up again. âI swear to God Steve, I donât have time for your silliness right now.â She wasnât mad at him anymore. âYouâre going to think it is so weird and disturbing.â He groaned, pulling the blanket up and covering his head, then slowly, like a melting piece of ice, he slid down the couch and landed on his side.
(Y/n) sat down on her knees next to the couch. âSteve.â She said softly. âI will not think weird of you.â He peeked his eyes out, âJust tell me whatâs bothering you.â Steve let out a deep sigh.â
âIâve been dreaming about you dying, a lot.â (Y/n)âs face was blank as she stared at him. âEvery night itâs a different way that you die, and every time I reach you itâs too late. The expression on your face is the same every time though.â
(Y/n) reached out and touched Steveâs face softly. âBabe, nothing is wrong with me. I am not going to die? Okay? Youâre just having some strange nightmares, but thatâs all they are, nightmares.â
Steveâs eyes misted over as he stared at her, taking in her beauty.
âIt seems so real.â He whispered, âAnd I donât want to ever experience that in real life, I donât know what I would do without you.â A tear slipped out of his eye and ran over his nose, then dripped on the couch, since he was lying on his side on the couch.
(Y/n) felt her eyes tear up as well, she motioned for Steve to sit up then she sat down next to him, wrapping her arms around him. âIâm right here and I am not going anywhere.â She cooed. âI know this seems silly, but I just love you so much.â (Y/n)âs arms tightened around him. âBabe, itâs not silly, okay? You are not silly. Youâre emotions count as well, they are not silly.â
Steve squeezed her arm. âI love you too.â
They stayed in that position for a little while until (Y/n) cleared her throat. âBut Steve, for reals. I am so bored.â Steve laughed then sat up. âI need something to keep me busy, or do something fun.â Steve smiled at her wickedly, then leaned in and kissed her.
âI know something we can do to take away your boredom.â (Y/n) giggled as Steve grabbed her waist and dragged her on top of him. She cradled his lap and leaned forward, she kissed him softly. She loved this boy.
