Nightmare || Chloe x Reader
Summary: Reader has a nightmare, Chloe is there to comfort them with a song and cuddles.
A/N: Had the menu open and got an idea from Chloe singing so I thought I’d write a quick thing for it.
The house is completely silent. At about twelve minutes past midnight, y/n is fast asleep with Chloe in the other room. The silence is quick to change, though. Y/n begins to twitch, and they soon jolt up in bed with a scream. Their breathing is heavy as Chloe appears suddenly in the doorway, coming to check on them, her LED flashing red. It shifts to yellow as she approaches the bed and notices that y/n isn’t in any immediate danger, then blue once y/n pulls her in with them.
It’s silent again for a bit. Chloe just lays there under the covers with y/n in her arms, their face buried in her chest.
“I had a nightmare.” y/n admits after managing to get their breathing under control, voice muffled slightly by Chloe’s chest. She’s still in her dress, and despite the fabric being less than comfortable, it provides some to y/n. It’s Chloe’s.
“Would you like to talk about it?” Chloe asks. To her knowledge, it usually helps when humans talk about things that upset them.
Y/n’s response is almost instantaneous, shaking their head aggressively. “Not now.” they mutter.
Chloe searches for more, unsure of what to do then. Suddenly an idea pops into her mind. She remembers song she’d heard a while ago, perhaps that would help calm y/n. So, quietly as she pulls them in closer while running a hand up and down their back, she begins to sing.
Hold on just a little while longer
Hold on just a little while longer
Hold on just a little while longer
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Y/n visibly relaxes in Chloe’s arms. It’s working. She continues to sing.
Fight on just a little while longer
Fight on just a little while longer
Fight on just a little while longer
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Chloe can feel y/n smiling against her skin, so she continues.
Pray on just a little while longer
Pray on just a little while longer
Pray on just a little while longer
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Sing on just a little while longer
Sing on just a little while longer
Sing on just a little while longer
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
During this, y/n’s breathing evened out and they fell asleep. Their grip on Chloe loosened, and she could easily slip out. Something in her didn’t want to leave that spot, though. She was enjoying it, enjoying being with y/n. Holding them there in her arms, Chloe was happy.
