UNLESS [Onceler X Reader]

~~Soap~~

Y/N: A hundred percent

Onceler: Okay, good

Y/N: Good

...

Onceler: So, can you just scoot over?

Y/N: Oh, yeah sure!

You shuffle a bit to edge of the bed. Onceler climbs onto the bed and next to you

You both had underestimated how small the bed was compared to you two

Your bodies were just centimetres away from each other. So if either of you move just slightly in your sleep, it was bound to break the no touch rule

You lean your head towards him and smile widely

Y/N: Just... One, teensy, tiny, little thing before we sleep?

Onceler: Yes?

Y/N: Can... some of the animals come sleep in here tonight? Not all of them, but some?

He glares at you with a straight face

You frown at his reaction

Y/N: What? I'm asking you for your permission, this is YOUR home, and your fully sober, F-Y-I!

He tilts his head back then sighs

Onceler: Fine... Just, NO sleeping in my cups and bowls, no egg laying, and no eating from my fridge

Y/N: I'll be sure to tell them that

Onceler: Thank you

He smiles as he pats your head and lays down in his bed

You start to lay down as well, still keeping some distance

Onceler reached for his light and then it was dark, with the only light source shining from the moon reflecting on your faces

A few hours later~~

You wake up to something holding tightly around your stomach

You look under the blanket to see Oncelers arm. But he was shaking, shivering, and he was muttering something under his breath

Y/N: Onceler?

He didn't respond as he kept muttering and held you tighter

You turn your body to face him. His eyes were still closed, but his face looked terrified

A nightmare

You raise your one hand to his shoulder and shake him awake

He opens his eyes with a shock. Sweat running down his forehead, his breath heavy

You looked to him with concern

Y/N: Are you okay...?

Onceler: Y-Yeah... I-I'm sorry... I probably should've told you I have these nightmares... I'm sorry

Y/N: Oh, you don't have to be sorry. I just wanted to know if you were okay... It looked like a really scary dream...

Onceler: Yeah... I'm sorry... Um, I'm just gonna try to sleep again

He turns his body the opposite of you as he takes his arm off your stomach

Y/N: If you want to talk about it, I'm here, you know

Onceler: Really?

Y/N: Yeah, I mean, you annoy me, but I'm not cruel

Onceler chuckles a little as he hears that familiar sentence
