Lullabee (Karl Heisenberg x OC!Lizzie)
---------------‐----------------------‐----
Lizzie slowly woke up and looked at the empty space next to her. Slowly the young woman sat up and wrapped a blanket around her as she climbed out of the warm and comfy bed to look for her husband.
It was no surprise to her that the bed was empty. Heisenberg would sometimes get restless or just not come to bed at all. He was a stubborn idiot sometimes, needing to finish something before resting.
The factory was almost silence as she shuffled through the corridors, lycans curled up in large piles and snoring loudly as she passed until she came to a room with a light on.
Of course, he was in what Lizzie liked to call his Plotting Room. With his Vengance Board.
Her husband was leaned over a workbench, his hat still on his head but he wasn't muttering under his breath like he normally does when he works. Maybe he had fallen asleep.
"Karl? Honey are you awake?" Lizzie gently called out to the hunched over man, hoping not to wake him up if he had drifted off. A grunt gave her the answer and he sat up to look at her, his sunglasses off letting her look into those gorgeous amber eyes.
Well they would be gorgeous if he didn't look dead inside, he had more bags under his eyes than an airport baggage carrier. "You ok buttercup?" His voice was just as tired as his eyes, his normally loud and rough voice was barely above a whisper. Lizzie felt a wave of sympathy come over her as she moved closer and gently wrapped her arms around him, letting Heisenberg rest his head against her shoulder "I feel like I should be asking you that one honey... everything ok?"
He was trembling a little in her arms, either from exhaustion or something else. "It's a little late to be plotting isn't it?"
"Got to keep you safe from the bitch....." Karl mumbled against her shoulder, keeping tight hold of her waist "the super sized one or Miranda?"
A small laugh escaped his lips and he moved his head, still resting against her shoulder but looking at Lizzie. "Yes..."
This time he nodded. Lizzie looked around the room, her golden eyes resting on a worn out couch in the corner. She then gently helped him up and guided him to the couch, taking his hat off and putting in on a crate. She lay down first before pulling the exhausted man on top of her, carefully placing the soft blanket she had had wrapped around her over him.
"Now... want to tell me about the nightmare?"
"....it was a normal day in the factory, I'd pushed someone down into your hive... and you were gonna try to kill him, but there was a gunshot and you... you died, you left me alone"
It was rare, even around Lizzie, for him to be like this, to willingly tell someone a fear. But at the end of the day, even under his loud, sometimes violent persona, was a man who was terrified of being left alone again. And Lizzie, in that moment, felt her heart break. He had already mourned her once, the last thing she wanted to do was make him go through that again "Karl... look at me please" with a small grunt Heisenberg moved his head and looked up at his wife "I promise that that will never happen, I'll never leave you alone, I said we'd be together forever remember?" He nodded slowly but felt an uneasy twist in his stomach "then trust me, I'll always be at your side whenever you need me... now let's get you back to sleep, you don't want to get sick after all"
Heisenberg trembled a little and tightened his grip on the small blonde woman but the moment he felt her soft little hands running through his greying hair he felt his heart melt. Then the humming started. He yawned and nuzzled his face against her shoulder and neck.
"Lullabee... lullabee... honeybees in the tree, rest your wings till morning light..." if he wasn't already half asleep Karl would have laughed, Lizzie always found a way to make things bee related, even before she found out she looked like a big scary bee lady when she mutated, ot was one of the things that had made him fall in love with her.
"Lullabee, lullabee, honeybees in the tree, your honey is safe tonight, just dream to the tune I am singing, time to stop all that buzzing and stinging ouch..."
As she kept softly singing to him, Karl felt himself drifting further and further towards sleep, a comforting warm wrapping around not just his body but his mind as well. The warmth calmed his nerves and eased all the thoughts flying around his head.
"Lullabee, lullabee, honeybees in the tree, all I want is a smackerel, or two, or three, don't sleep lightly, sleep very tightly, happy slumbers to you...."
the soft snores coming from Heisenberg and the loosening of his grip where the signs that Lizzie needed, feeling calmer knowing that Karl was safely and happily sleeping. The warmth coming from her husband and the comfortable cuddling position soon had her drifting off to sleep as well, but not before she managed to mumble a "I love you Karl honey..."
The couple rested, holding onto each other and dreaming of each other as well. Karl's nightmare had shaken them both up, Heisenberg more than Lizzie but all thoughts of the terrifying concept had vanished.
While Lizzie was alive she would never break her promise to him.
But far away, on the outskirts of the village, a new family moved in. A wife, a newborn daughter and a husband that would force her to break that promise made by candlelight...
But for now they were safe, safe and happy. And that's all they could wish for.
