Voices | Moon Knight Drabble
Prompt: Steven has a nightmare
His breath hit the skin of your shoulder as he leaned against you, his skin hot and sticky, beads of sweat traveled from his forehead to your cheek. You cupped his face with a hand, the other stroking his wet dark curls as you swayed back and forth, shushing his cries gently.
“It’s okay,” you whispered, “it was just a nightmare.”
The hand he had on your waist grabbed you tighter as he pulled you closer, clutching at you like he was afraid you’d let him go.
“They’re back,” he rasped.
“The voices?”
He nodded, a whine escaping from his lips.
“What are they saying?”
“It’s like…” he started, his voice broken and weak, trembling with fear and exhaustion. “It’s like they want me to go… to disappear. And take my place.”
“You don’t have to worry about that, love. I’ll never let them take you.”
“You promise?”
“I promise.”
