"How long are you going to keep streaming?" Loud clicking could be evidently heard from the dimly lit room. "Uhhh.." he murmured softly as he took his eyes away from the bright screen towards his desk clock. "One more hour (y/n), just one more" he said lightly laughing at something one of his friends said. I sighed as my grip on the door handle loosened.
"I'll be quick I swear!" He said with an apologetic smile. "You know I've been getting those nightmares again..." I told him, my eyes never leaving my socks. "Wait what you say? Sorry I couldn't hear you over George's whining" dream said moving one earphone off of his ear. I bit the inside of my cheek and shook my head.
"Nothing. I just said to please hurry" I fake smiled closing the door behind me with a firm shut and sighed. My grip on the door now completely loose as I slowly lifted my head from the floor.
Nighttime used to be my favorite thing to do to end the day. A nice nine hour sleep with the man I love right beside me. Cuddled up in our king size bed that had way too many layers but Dream liked it that way.
But my nightmares have made me dread it. I physically shake and squirm in my sleep sometimes waking up dream. I sweat so much I have to sleep with a towel wrapped around my pillow so it won't get drenched.
I don't know why I get these horrible nightmares but the best bet I have is just sleep deprivation along with stress. I work two part time jobs so I can pay off my student loans. Everyday is consisted of busy work. Sometimes I get envious of dream. Staying home all day playing video games and then boom, one thousand in one day.
I cleared my head from getting too negative as I walked to our shared bedroom and immediately felt the dread that comes as soon as I step inside. I closed the curtains from the windows and turned off the lights. I tried sleeping with a light on but it actually makes it worse.
I wrapped a towel around my pillow and grabbed my sleeping mask. I sighed one last time and climbed into bed quickly. I pulled the covers over my body, completely engulfing myself in them. I placed my eye mask on and laid completely still. The room wasn't too warm or too cold so I pulled my arms out so they sat besides me.
I laid still for a few seconds, seeing if a sound would be heard. After waiting and hearing nothing, I closed my eyes that were beneath the mask and tried to fall asleep. I counted down from 100 in my head since Dream said it helped him sometimes.
A few moments passed, and my body felt relaxed. '56..55..54' I counted in my head. As soon as I got to 50, my head turned to the side and I was out cold.

I was woken up by an alarm clock going off. I sat up and pulled my mask down only to see nothingness. I felt like I was sitting on something. I looked down and gasped seeing myself asleep on my bed. "What?" I asked so confused. I reached down to touch my arm but I went through. My hand went through my sleeping self as if I was a ghost.
I got up from the bed and tried to make sense of what was happening. The whole room was pure darkness except for my bed and well my other self sleeping. The alarm clock went off again as I slowly walked towards the sound.
Slowly, parts of my house began to show. I touched the walls, feeling them feel extremely cold. 'But I couldn't touch myself?' I asked looking back. I kept walking slowly until I reached a certain room. It was Dreams recording slash streaming room. I was scared to open it as I placed my hand on the door knob.
I was too deep in my thoughts until the alarm clock sounded again but this time, it was inside of Dreams room. Before I turned the knob, my sense of smell began going off. "Burnt...toast?" I said as the smell smelled like something was burning. Then, the sound of flames erupted in my ear drums as I quickly opened the door. Scorching flames touched my face as I was thrown back by how big they were.
I hit my wall which became warm by the second. I watched in terror as the room went off in flames, objects melting and things catching on fire. I couldn't make sense of anything. My thoughts were going way too rapid until I heard shouting from inside the room.
"HELP ME!! FUCK IT HURTS!!" The person shouted recognizing the voice almost immediately. I got up and ran straight to my sleeping self and tried waking my self up. "WAKE UP! He needs help!!" I shouted hearing my own voice echo throughout emptiness. "Please! You gotta wake up!!" I tried hitting myself but nothing worked. My hand went through every time.
I became more desperate as his screams for help got louder and louder. I went back into the room full of fire and took a plank that fell from the ceiling of the room. I placed it in so it can catch on fire and quickly ran back. I hovered the piece of wood over my body, hoping it would make me sweaty and wake up.
"PLEASE HURRY!!" I shouted once again. I saw my own skin start to show beads of sweat as I weakly smiled. I moved the piece of wood closer so it was directly above my stomach. In a split second, everything became fire. The room my sleeping self was in became charred. I screamed in agony as my body melted by the fire in seconds. Nothing was left of the room but my sleeping self and the bed.

I woke up coughing as I ripped off my eye mask in a quick swift. I couldn't control my breathing as I looked around my room. It was dark all over the place. I felt like my nightmare was just another one until I heard the familiar clock began to holler.
I sat in my bed in pure horror as my hands couldn't stop shaking uncontrollably. I nervously gulped feeling a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead. A few seconds passed and I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. "It was all a dream" I tried reassuring myself.
"HELP ME!! FUCK IT HURTS!" I heard yelling as I quickly got off the bed and ran to where I heard it coming from. I didn't bother knocking as I opened the door with brute force and was met with Dream looking back at me confused while I heard his friends ask as to why he went quiet. "You..needed help?" I asked out of breath. "You know what? Im done for the day. We can pick it up tomorrow " Dream said turning off his pc and turned back to me.
I was clinging towards the door frame for support as my breathing tried to go back to normal. "(Y/n)? Are you okay?" Dream asked as he got up and walked over to me. I fell into his arms and started hysterically crying. "Shh, im right here. Im okay nothing happened to me" he said as he walked us back to our room and made me sit on the bed.
"Here. Put this on it'll make you sleep better" dream said as he gave me one of his shirts. I smiled softly smelling his scent almost immediately. I sniffed as I took off my own shirt and placed his on. "You look so good whenever you put that on" Dream said as he gave me a head kiss while he went around the room, putting a few things away and turning on our TV.
"I'll put (show name) on, yeah?" He asked as I nodded getting myself into the bed, not before taking off my socks. Dream got inside as well and practically pulled me towards him so I was laying on his chest, my face on it. "Dream? How am I gonna see the screen?" I asked my voice very muffled.
"Oh you're right. Here. Like this then" he moved so I was against his chest and between his legs. I placed my head against his chest while he rested his chin on top of mine. I sighed feeling a bit better then before.
"(Y/n), I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you during your nightmare. I promise I won't stay up too late anymore" dream said tightening his grip on me. "I was scared Dream. You...died in my dream" I said feeling him stiffened a bit. "How?..." he asked gulping.
"There was a fire? But your room was the only thing on fire. And then I tried helping but I was like a ghost. Yet I still sensed how hot and sweaty I got as u got close to the flames" I explained playing with his pointer finger. I moved it all over the place and settled it by bringing it to my face. "I didn't know how to help so I tried waking up but the whole house ended up being charred, with me in it" dream quietly listened as the show was paused as well.
"I felt myself boiling up until I was nothing but mush. I felt every little thing" I finished as I kissed his hand softly and left it against my cheek. He pulled his hand away and pulled me up and turned me so I was facing him. "(Y/n) I...I'm so sorry my love. I don't know what to say " he engulfed me in his arms as he rubbed my back firmly.
"It's okay. At least it's over now" I said muffled. I left my head in the crook of his neck while he hummed softly to himself. His grip on me never loosened up. "I'll change my schedule so then we can sleep together okay?" He said as I nodded.
"I'll pay off your student loans as well" I shot up and shook my head not agreeing with that. "Why not?" He asked dumbfounded. "Dream! It's a lot of debt to pay off" I told him. "Yeah I know but I have the money for it?" He said placing his hands on my bottom with a slight grin. "But what if you change your mind...on me?" I asked.
"No way you are saying this right now" dream said with a smile. I giggled knowing where this was going. "Out of any man in the world, I chose you" dream said giving me a peck on the cheek.
""You'll always be my right hand man, my lover, my best friend " he said giving me kisses all over my face making me giggle since I was ticklish. He stopped right on my left ear and whispered making me get goosebumps. "And you'll be the man to have my hand in marriage" I smiled brightly and looked at his face to see any sign of joking.
"Wait you are serious?" I asked him as he gave me a wink making me burn up. "Jesus dream you are too much" I said as I laid back down feeling his chest go up and down as he laughed.
