My Chemical Romance One Shots (complete)

Gerard x Reader - Sing Me To Sleep

I sat in my bed, tossing and turning as I tried to fall asleep. I looked at the clock and groaned. It read '3 a.m.', and I had to get up early tomorrow. I sighed, yanking the covers over my face. I listened to the noises coming from the outside into my bedroom from the open window.

Then, a floorboard creaked loudly.

I would have thought it a coincidence, but when another dramatic creaking noise occurred a few seconds later, I knew someone or something was in my bedroom with me. "H-hello?" I asked the darkness in a shaky voice.

The creaking stopped, but I only became more scared. Maybe I was just hearing things. I rolled over and stared the wall through the darkness, trying once again to fall asleep. Another floorboard screeched. "Who's Th-there?"

A figure clad in dark clothing appeared out of the shadows. "Hello," the shadow said gently.

"Who are you?" My voice quivered as I whispered.

"I am Mr. Sandman. I heard you weren't sleeping too well, hmm?" A candle's light appeared breaking up the darkness. I got a better look at the man apparently named "Mr. Sandman". He had long, black hair and a pale complexion. His dark eyes reflected the lighted candle he held. He was wearing dark clothing, making him almost appear as a shadow in the dimly lit room.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked, shaking and he came closer.

"Help you sleep, of course!"

He sat on the edge of my bed and I flinched away. "Don't be scared dear, I'm not going to hurt you."

I relaxed a bit as he came closer.

I moved my body over, and he lay down next to me. For some odd reason, I felt myself become more tired and less tense. "Mr. Sandman" had his back against the headboard and an arm around my shoulders. "It's alright, just relax."

I let out a soft groan and I snuggled up onto his side. I nuzzled my face into his neck as I felt my eyes droop shut. He began to sing a song I didn't recognize but oddly made me feel peaceful. "So long to all my friends..."

I sniffled and my body began to tingle. Right before I went to sleep, I muttered out a quiet, "Thanks, Mr. Sandman."

"There's no need to thank me, dear," he said, gently stroking my hair. "And there is no need to call me Mr. Sandman. You can call me Gerard."

And with that, I drifted off into a deep sleep.

A/N: I know this one was shorter, but I've been having writer's block (Migraine anyone??) so I might be doing some shorter one-shots, and just updating more often.
