It was one of those nights again.
Nightmare after nightmare after nightmare…
Staying awake for too long, consuming too much sugar and staring at his monitor for hours on end really didn't do Soobin any good. But what else could he do? He was a stressed uni student with tight time limits and a horrible tendency to procrastinate until just a few hours before assignment deadlines.
Once every few months he would end up like this, but the worst part of it was that once it was over he would have to deal with horrible nightmares, fever dream-like scenarios torturing him during his well deserved and desperately needed few hours of sleep and making it impossible to get any rest whatsoever.
Sometimes Soobin wondered why he even tried to sleep in the first place. He felt like the unluckiest person alive.
“Mhhh…” He whined in his sleep, kicking his legs and burying his face deeper into his pillow.
“Shh.” a voice hushed from behind Soobin, the person’s hand finding its way to the crown of his head, tenderly stroking his hair in hopes to calm him down without waking him up.
But it was hopeless.
Soobin gasped as his dreams came to a drastic end. His heart was racing and his eyes snapped open in a desperate attempt to focus on anything in his dark room in hopes to realize that it was all over and he came back to his (at least partially) more peaceful reality.
“Did you have nightmares again?” a husky voice whispered, warm breath ghosting over the shell of Soobin’s ear and for a brief moment he forgot he had a boyfriend who was always spooning him so sweetly during his stressful episodes.
“Yeah.” Soobin in- and exhaled deeply, trying his best to calm himself back down. “When will it finally be over…”
“Hopefully once you're out of uni and have found a stable and relaxed job.“ Yeonjun tried to cheer the other up by painting him a less stress-inducing future ahead of him.
“Ugh..” Soobin sighed in despair. That would still take a while and a couple more projects from hell.
“You can do this, Soobie. I'm here for you, always.”
“I’m here for you, too.“
The bed rustled after another voice filled the room, the warm pressure against Soobin’s chest shifting slightly.
“I'll always be right here if you need me.” Beomgyu, Soobin’s other boyfriend, mumbled against his chest before he pressed a loving kiss on Soobin’s chin.
“Now let's go back to sleep, love.” Yeonjun suggested softly from behind, gently kissing Soobin’s nape while his hand now reached out for Beomgyu’s cheek. “You too.”
“Yes. Already back asleep.” Beomgyu muttered, halfway back to sleep while Soobin was filled with so much love that his heart was still fluttering and jumping in his chest as if it was about to break out any second.
“I love you.“ Soobin breathed out with curled up lips before closing his eyes, not even expecting a reply, and yet both of his boyfriend’s voices caressed his eardrums one last time.
“I love you.”
“Love you two, too.”
It was when Soobin realized that he, despite his struggles, actually was the luckiest person alive.
