Just A Dream

"Babe... babe... BABE!" My wifes shouting rocked me from my sleep, my nightmare. It became nightly at this point. I'd have a horrible nightmare and start moaning and moving, waking my poor wife. Its not the nightmares or constant waking that annoys me, its the nightly torture of my wife that hurts me, I see the tired look in her eyes every time I wake her up. And she never complains, every night she rocks me to mental safety, and she pays for it in the morning when she goes to work tired. "Hey, hey, its ok." She said, cooing into my ear as she rubbed my head. "What was it tonight, monsters, or something real?" She said, nibbling my ear.
"I-it was nothing." I sighed. Far from nothing, the nightmare dealt with my wife leaving me for another man after finally having enough of me. Something I knew she'd never do, but wouldn't blame her if she did.
"Don't give me that, what was it." She said in a lovingly stern voice. I kept silent. I felt her shift in bed, her eight legs grip me from behind, pressing her chitinous body against me, her characteristic stinger resting inches from my head. "Please, please tell me, you've never once hesitated to tell me about your dreams, whats so different about this one?" She said as she rubbed on my chest.
"Y-y-yo... I'm sorry." I said, breaking down and starting to sniffle as tears welled in my eyes.
"Hey hey hey, shhhhhh, its ok, its ok, don't bother saying anything, I don't need to hear it from you." She said, gripping me tighter with her legs, completely encasing me in her grasp. "But... I do think I know what it was about. You mind if I guess." I solemnly nodded. "Did it have to do with me?" I nodded. "Did... did I cheat on you?" The moment the words left her lips i fully broke down, now fully crying.
"I'm so sorry, I dont think you will, I dont know why I had that dream, I'm so sorry." I wailed out and buried my face in our bed.
"Oh, oh love." I heard her voice stagger. "Hush little baby." She sung into my ear, only causing me to cry harder. "I know the demons in your head, I know how they torture you so, I know you trust me, dont be sorry for your head torturing you." Her words caused me calm down a little, now instead of violently sobbing, I simply lay there, quietly sniffling. "Do you want to talk about it?" She said, I simply shook my head. "Very well, just know I love you so much, so very much, I know you know, but know I'd never go behind your back." She said into my ear, gently nibbling.
"I know, I know, I don't know why i had that dream, the fact that I had it, is what makes me mad, not what it was about, I trust you, I do, I promise." I whimpered out those last few words.
"Shhhh, its ok, I understand, we all have dreams like that, culminations of our worst fears, its only natural, it just means you're scared to lose me, which makes me so happy." She said softly into my ear, slowly petting my head.
"I'm beyond scared, you're all I have that I can say I'm proud of, if I lost you I'd... do something stupid." I said through tears and staggered breathing.
"Well allow me to put those fears to rest, when I mate, I mate for life, do you remember how long it took me to marry you, a whole year, far longer than most of my sisters, just to make sure you were the man for me, and I found out you were, so never fear that I'll leave you, let it be a fleeting thought in your little head." She said, eccentuating her words with a flick on my forehead causing me to giggle a little. "Theres that sweet laugh i love." She cooed into my ear as she probed around my body with her legs, causing me to giggle and swat at her legs. "Your laughter is honey in my ears." She smiled as she gently scraped her stinger against my shoulder, just barely keeping it from piercing my body.
"Thank you my love, you always find a way to soothe me every night, even at the expense of your sleep." I say as I bury my face into her neck to nibble a little.
"Well of course, it hurts my heart to see you so distressed every night, I couldn't let you suffer like that all night every night." She cooed and caressed my hair. I sunk deeper into her embrace, resting into her rock hard yet soft body, her body putting me entirely at ease. "Are you feeling any better my love?" She kissed my cheek as I nodded.
"Yes, quite better, as always you've completely soothed me, I'm sorry I do this every night." I sighed and buried my face into her breasts.
"Oh, you're fine darling, you're perfectly fine. Do you... want me to sing you a song before you go to sleep." She whispered, blushing brightly.
"I... I think I would love that." I smiled and hugged her tighter. She never offered this before, she's done many things to soothe me, but not once has she sung a song.
"Alright, no laughing though, I dont have the best singing voice out there." She blushed and looked away.
"I'm sure you've got a great voice, with a voice as lovely as yours, your singing voice must be heavenly." I smiled. She smiled back and cupped my head in her hands.
"Hush now don't you cry
I'll wipe away your tears from your eyes
We're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream, swimming in your thoughts."
She started the song, ironically the tears in my eyes returned, her voice was truly beautiful, and the words to the song soothed me to my core, her gentle rocking to the beat of the song making me feel like a child being coddled.
"Relax now, take a breath
Your cold eyes breaking my heart
I'll stay here for years
To rock you back to your happy place."
Her face blushed brightly as she sang, but she maintained a beautiful and soothing, motherly smile as she brushed my hair behind my ears.
"The morning comes again
And tomorrow you'll forget about your fears
My heart beats just for you
Your dreams as always, are so rude." She flicked my nose and kissed it, earning a slight giggle from me as she wiped the tears from my eyes.
"For now love we just lay
And sit together for the night
For tomorrow comes again
And our lives must go on." She breathed onto my face as she got closer and closer with every bar, her lips practically rested against mine now.
"And now love we must rest
For tomorrow brings challenges all its own
Rest your head, take a breath, relax your eyes, and bring the day
Your nightmares over
But the dreams begun." She kissed me with the final words of her song. "H-how was that?" She blushed brightly in anticipation.
"I-incredible." I said simply, holding her tightly, holding back more tears.
"Thank you, I can make this a regular thing everytime you have a bad dream." She rubbed the back of my head gently as she hummed the song.
"I would love that, you're too good for me." I said defeatedly.
"Hey, enough of that, enough of all that. If I were too good for you, I would never have looked at you in the first place, you mean so much to me, you're sweet, kind, loving, you make food everyday, every time I come home tired from work you always make me a cup of hot coco and just sit next to me as we watch some stupid show, and every night I get to hold you tightly and whisper sweet nothings into your ear. Its I life I wouldn't trade for the world." She whispered and kissed my cheek, lowering her stinger to my thigh.
"B-but I wake you up every night, leaving you tired and fed up everyda..." I was stung, all feeling in my body shut down, i was frozen.
"Yes you do. But, I'm perfectly fine with that, because... you're worth it love." She smiled and began kissing me up and down. "No words dear, just love today, thats all I want, thats all I ever want from you, I adore you, truly and honestly. I. Love. You."
And I love you.
