Nightmares - Leonardo

Leonardoxfem!reader

A/N: I’m back! If a little out of practice.

Somebody was screaming.

Who was screaming?

Oh.

It was him.

Leonardo shot upright in bed, trembling and sweating. What was that? Why had he been screaming in his sleep? It was just a dream. No...that wasn’t right. It was a nightmare. Since when did he start having nightmares?

He sighed, climbing out of bed, trying to calm his racing  heart. What would the guys say if they knew he was having bad dreams? He couldn’t afford to have nightmares. He was the big brother, the leader, and role model. He shouldn’t be shaken by something as insignificant as a dream. What was it even about?

Tightening his mask around his face Leo forced himself to breathe deep and think. He’d been in an alleyway, a dark one… and there was something laying in the corner. No, not something...someone. He’d moved over to them, put a hand on their shoulder and rolled them over. 

He stiffened as he recalled the dream of Y/N’s lifeless body looking up at him, covered in blood. Thank goodness it was just a dream.

Right?

If it was just a bad dream, why was there this tightness in his chest? This gut feeling that something was wrong? And why couldn’t he shake it?

“Don’t be ridiculous Leonardo.” He muttered even as he slid his katanas into place on his back. “Y/N’s fine, she’s probably asleep in her bed, safe as can be.”

His little pep talk didn’t help any.

But...it couldn’t hurt to check on her, could it?

The whole way to her apartment, Leo kept telling himself that this was stupid, she was fine, it was just a bad dream, none of it was real or would ever be real.

His heart still sank when he reached her bedroom window and found her bed made and the room dark.

Where was she?

He moved through the apartment like a jaguar on the prowl, creeping down the hallway into the living room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Y/N was fine, sound asleep on the couch, a notebook in her lap and a textbook beside her. Of all the nights for her to fall asleep studying it had to be tonight didn’t it? Did she intend to give him a heart attack? 

Shaking his head, Leo bent over, scooping her up into his arms bridal style. She just sighed as her head rested against his shoulder. How could she be such a sound sleeper? 

Gently he set her down in her bed, pulling the covers up around her, pressing a soft kiss into her hair. With any luck, she wouldn’t remember this as anything more than a dream in the morning, and he’d be able to sleep soundly, knowing for a fact that the love of his life was safe and sound.
