There’s a tremble in your shoulders that he noticed. Your hands were gripping the blanket in such a strong hood your knuckles turned white. Akira’s brows scrunched with concern as he observed more of your actions.
The two of you were at your place for a relaxing day to spend together. You spent time watching a few movies, playing video games, talking, going through the group chat in discussion of the Phantom Thieves’ next heist.
Late afternoon came by when the two of you took a nap together, lying on your bed in a cuddle.
It was peaceful at for the past 20 minutes until Akira woke up hazily to see you. Your breathing was deep, your body couldn’t help but turn over many times.
He reached a hand to brush your hair to soothe you. It already dawned on him that you were having a nightmare. And he already had a feeling on what it was.
“Treasure...” Akira’s smooth voice gently calls out.
That single word was enough to jolt you awake. Startled, you immediately sit back up and dart your eyes around the room for any suspicious movements, face in a slight panic with your body still trembling.
Your lover didn’t hesitate to embrace you, chin resting on the top of your head.
“It’s only me, (Y/N)... No one else, okay?” Akira rarely ever calls you your name unless he felt the need to.
Rubbing a hand down your back, he made sure not to linger on the healed scar for too long.
Your body seemed to ease better once you realized it was only him, and relaxed despite the small tears threatening to fall.
“Just listen to my heartbeat, Treasure. And you’ll know it’s real.” he whispered.
Feeling Akira like this, you’re met from fear to peace.
“T-Thank y-you..” you manage to whimper out.
His only response back is a kiss on your forehead.
