A/N: I had no idea what to call this one so the title sucks. This one’s about 1000 words so buckle in kids.
The reader can’t sleep so Shawn comes over and they go on an early morning adventure.
“Babe?” Shawn’s voice is crackly and gruff over the phone. A wave of calm rushes through my tense body at the sound of it.
“Yeah,” I mumble in response, squeezing my eyes closed and listening to him.
“Is something wrong? It’s four in the morning.”
“I just…couldn’t sleep,” I answer lamely, cringing at the needy sound of my voice. I don’t know quite what had woken me up, my tiny apartment is quiet and undisturbed and I don’t remember having a bad dream. Nonetheless, my heart is pounding in my chest and every muscle in my body feels strung tight. I had dialled Shawn with shaking fingers without even thinking about how I would explain myself, just knowing I needed to talk to him.
“I’m on my way,” he says.
“No! You don’t have to drive all the way out here, there’s nothing wrong,” I argue, already regretting calling him.
“I can hear how anxious you are over the phone, I’m coming over.” I know there’s absolutely no way I can convince him not to so I sigh reluctantly and say ok.
“I’ll be there in twenty minutes,” he tells me before he hangs up.
