warnings: none i think?? just a lot of fluff. maybe talks about losing someone but it's not really mentioned. aaand not proofread lmao i just woke up from a nightmare myself and needed to talk about it somewhere. also, english is not my first language so bear with me for any errors lol
mick has been awake for a couple of minutes now. after reaching for the clock that indicated that they were in the early sunday morning -2:16 am to be precise- he just couldn't manage to continuing with his precious and well needed sleep. so the blonde just tossed and turned, slowly, trying to not wake the girl that was sleeping peacefully beside him.
you were sleeping soundly, facing him. mick could only see a little of your face and your factions, that he could only describe as angel-like, thanks to the moonlight that washed over you. and still, you remained peaceful in his eyes. the german just couldn't believe that he had the chance to rest next to you. with his schedule, it was certainly difficult to find the space to actually spend some quality time together. but each time that you guys met, however long or short it was, he made sure that you two got the best of it.
tonight, you were so tired after work. you spoke a little about your day, and decided to eat while watching something in the tv. mick agreed with your plan: after all, he just wanted to spend some precious time with you, no matter what you guys were up to.
after a couple of minutes, the room went silent. the movie was still playing, but you stopped answering his silly comments and caressing his palm that was resting just above your stomach, so mick knew that you had fallen asleep. you didn't seem to be uncomfortable, so the boy just threw a blanket over your body and continued with the little touches on your hair.
he thought that when the film ended you would had woken up already, but when that didn't happen, mick carefully picked you up and made his way to the bedroom. he placed you gently on the duvet, until he could tuck you to bed softly, and joined you soon after.
now, twenty minutes later, he still couldn't sleep. he had tried every method he knew -being used to having troubles sleeping, but never next to you- but it seemed useless. so, he just closed his eyes and waited for boredom to take over him and lull him to sleep.
just as he was about to, finally, get some rest, he heard what could only be described as little sobs. he woke up instantly, and searched for your face under the covers. you appeared to be still sleeping, but having some kind of nightmare. your previous angelic, peaceful face was now full of what mick could only describe as sadness.
he gently pulled you closer to him, head on his chest, and starting stroking gentle touches on your check. it appeared to have work, until you woke up a couple of minutes later.
'hey, everything okay? I saw you were dreaming' mick called softly, almost in a whisper, to your hear. 'yeah, just some stupid reoccurring dream. i'm okay, love' you tried to reassure him, without saying more that you should about it. how could you tell him that the nightmare was about him? about losing him?
'you don't have to tell me what was it about. we can talk about it tomorrow over breakfast if you want. but i'm here. just hold me as close as you need' and it was like he knew. you nodded, and proceeded to hold him even more tightly.
finally, you could drift off again. and he, now with you sleeping soundly in his arms, could catch some sleep.

/rp "I don't understand why Tommy always said, in exile, that people weren't visiting him, that no one was coming, that they were only there out of pity when lots of people visited and gifted him things! He was basically trying to be a victim when he wasn't one!" Honey Honey Honey he was manipulated. At first it was a mix of both his personality and how the visits were made. He's a proud person, if he believes that people are pitying him he will not accept their help. Most people visited only once or twice. Sure, Bad gave him a disc and tried to help him more, and Tommy actually appreciated the disc (as he said later). But then, Bad didn't come back. And so did Antfrost after giving him a cow, or Sam after literally said he would take him in. Why they didn't come back? A mix of problems in the server (the whole Egg thing actually started in that period of time!) and Dream, of course, lying to everyone about Tommy not wanting visitors. But that's something that we knew - Tommy didn't. Tommy believed that they just came once at the beginning because they felt sorry, not protesting the exile at all (for example, Antfrost gifting him Mushroom Henry, but saying to not tell Dream that it had been him), and then they never came back because they didn't actually care.
Also, didn't help that the first visitors (Bad, Ant, Sapnap, and I'm including Sam too because at the time it was true) were people very close to Dream. After that? After that Tommy was manipulated constantly by Dream. He was told that people didn't care about him, that L'Manberg was even better without him, that THEY didn't want to visit him. So when people came? And maybe, because they didn't realize how actually BAD was exile, didn't take it seriously? Or came just once, never to return? Yes, Tommy took those as them just coming because "they had to". Ranboo is actually a big example on how Tommy's view about their visit changed with Dream's manipulation - by comparing how Tommy took Ranboo's books and messages in the beginning versus when Ranboo gave him his pickaxe. And then comes the beach party. Last nail in the coffin. When Tommy said "No one is visiting me" he wasn't actually speaking literally. What he meant was "No one wants to visit me". He fully believed that they were only there because of pity or because "they had to", not because they cared about him. He cleary said it many times (I remember once when Jack visited, for example).
