Incoherent words echoed through the room, waking you up from a unfortunately not so deep sleep.
Images from the weird nightmare kept repeating itself in your head.
You were losing him. He was drowning, slowly rolling of the bed and you couldn't hold him.
You tried pulling him back up, clenching onto his arm, trying to wrap your free arm around his torso, but you couldn't. Slowly he rolled off.
It wasn't a horrible nightmare.
By just using words it didn't sound like one, but the feeling you were left with was telling otherwise.
He mumbled again, this time quieter.
You were used to him speaking in his sleep, but after already having a weird feeling and not being able to sleep peacefully due to your stupid brain, you were slightly annoyed of him this night.
Not just that you dreamed something that created a sense of angst, you also had to wake up with the unwanted opportunity of reflecting on the scenario and actually feeling the fear of helplessly losing him even if it happened in a silly way.
He turned around facing you, his hand searching for your warmth.
He felt the fabric of your shirt he held onto it, robbing closer to you.
He pulled you closer to his body, wrapping his one arm around you, while he used the other as a pillow under his head.
You felt warm and tired, so you closed your eyes and tried to calm your breath that was still a bit fastened from the dream.
Suddenly you felt his lips on your forehead.
'Why aren't you sleeping?', he asked sleepily, his eyes closed.
You leaned your head against his chest and said: 'You were talking in your sleep.'
He simply answered: 'I always do.', giving you another kiss on your forehead.
His warm lips made you feel even more tired.
You just hummed, acknowledging the stated fact.
He loosened the grip around you, bringing his hand on your stomach, slowly caressing it.
You drifted back to sleep, but before you could cut the tires to reality completely, you could hear him whispering:'You were talking too.'
He paused, giving you a long kiss on your forehead again.
'You won't be losing me that easily, I promise.'
