I was woken by the sound of water running in the room next door. I groggily open my eyes and feel for Dereks warm presence but as hard as I tried I felt nothing but cold air. I shook my head and stood up from the bed and put my feet on the floor. I got up and walked to the bathroom, throwing my hair up.
I walked in and Derek was propping himself up on the sink.
"Hey. You okay?" I ask quietly. He doesn't respond so I walk over and place my hand on his shoulder.
"Baby?" I ask again. He turns and his hands are red with blood.
"What happened?" I ask shocked.
"Nothing. Just from my claws." He said.
I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his hands.
"What made you do this? Did someone hurt you? Are you angry?" I asked getting him some gauze and wraps for his hands. He sat on the toilet,lid down, and waited for me to place the bandages around his hands.
"You know it'll heal right?" He asks looking up at me as I focus on his wraps.
"And you know I don't want your blood everywhere right?" I snark back causing him to scoff and smirk.
I finished wrapping him and I threw away the packaging.
"So you gonna tell me why this happened?"
I ask as he continued to sit.
"I had a nightmare. It was pretty bad so I guess I shifted in my dream and that's where this happened."
I sighed and scratched my head.
"What time is it?" I ask.
"4:30 am." He replies sadly.
"Hey it's okay. It's not a problem." I say placing my hand on his cheek. He looked up at me with his green eyes and I couldn't help but smile.
"I love you der." I say walking closer to him.
He rested his head on my stomach and sighed (like picture above).
"I love you too."
He stood up and I looked at him.
"Come back to bed with me." He said. I followed him into bed and he rested his head next to mine.
"Wanna cuddle?" I ask.
He just nods and scoots closer to me.
"Sleep tight der." I smile to him.
"You too y/n."
