Work Text:
Henry woke up to thrashing around in the bed. He looked over to see his beautiful boyfriend,thrashing around with tears streaming down his face.
“Alex, love. Hey. Hey, you’re okay, you’re okay.”
Alex shot up in bed. “Henry, you’re still here…”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Henry asked gently.
“I--nightmare where you left and hated me.” Alex replied as new tears pricked at his eyes.
“Hey, look at me.” Alex looks up so he continues.
“I love you so much, Alex. I would never leave you, especially after what we went through to get here, okay?” While Alex processed this statement, Henry placed a reassuring kiss on Alex's lips.
“Okay. Thanks. I really needed that.” Alex said, calming down.
“Anytime, love.” Henry said, giving Alex a kiss on his forehead.
They both weren’t quite ready to go to sleep yet, so Henry started to read a book to Alex. When he realized that Alex had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Henry turned off the lamp he had turned on when Alex woke up, and went to sleep with Alex curled up on his side.
