Work Text:
Joel would always love waking up next to Lizzie. He loved waking up with her wrapped in his arms, her head on his chest as she slept.
She was always so beautiful when she slept, so peaceful. Lizzie never had nights, thankfully. Scar had told him once he had found her crying in her sleep from a nightmare, but since then, since Joel had made a deal with Scott, Lizzie didn't get any anymore.
Joel had made sure of that. Sure, sometimes he would get nightmares from his wins. Every winner did. But that didn't mean Lizzie had to get them as well
Speaking of Joel's beautiful wife, she was stirring in Joel's arms
“Good morning, gorgeous.” Joel greeted, placing a kiss into her hair. Lizzie grumbled something, leaning up and burying her face into his neck. That only made Joel chuckle, holding her closer.
“Sleep well?” He asked, placing another kiss to her hair. He could feel Lizzie press a kiss into his neck, and he chuckled again.
“Mmm, yeah…” Lizzie mumbled sleepily. “You?”
Joel thought about his night. It was another dream – well, nightmare – about Limited Life. One moment, the Bad Boys were laughing, throwing TNT minecarts off Skizz’s skynet. The next, Jimmy screamed, falling to his death.
“I slept fine, babe.”
