Fallout Dreams ? (Danger Days//Killjoys)

a/n: "and down we go.... and we all fall down..." it's getting deeper, the story :) - bread

party's pov:

it was the middle of the night, the moon shining through the high window of dr. death's basement. the same window that gave me and ghoul light all these years. in the room we spent most of our time together in. he was latched into me, and i held on. i heard whimpering in the room next to ours.

i unraveled myself from ghoul's unforgettable stitches and slowly got up, going to the door. i heard rain dripping from someone to the right of the room, usually there was no midnight rain. i listened into the door , my firetruck hair against the cool wood. i opened the silver knob and went in.

"w-who's t-t-there?" i heard, i shut the door behind me and lit the light, the basement window shedding light on to me, i looked at the bed, the small girl in it was mine, and she was down pouring from her eyes.

"what's wrong?" i asked, she started to cry a little harder and i immediately went over and sat on her bed, she crashed against me, latching on like ghoul usually did at this time of night.

"i-i g-get these t-terrors. e-every night. i-i'm usually alone." she said, i gulped, she looked up. she had felt it. i hugged her tighter. a comfortable blanket with a low c to get you to sleep.

"hey, it's okay. i'm here now. you're never alone." i said, she looked down as she nodded against me. i pushed her off and held her shoulders so she looked at me.

"hey." i said, he eyes were glossy and filled with hazel mountains, i couldn't help but be orange, pastel, white for her, "you're not alone. i get them too."

"r-really?"  she asked, i nodded and held her chin up to me, kissing her forhead.

"yeah." i said, with a small reassuring smile. she didn't smile back, but i fleet some flower bloom for the good on the inside. she hugged me again, holding on.

"you know, people think i'm so strong and brave. really i'm a coward." i said, chuckling as i leaned next to her on her headboard. she leaned her head on my shoulder.

"i know, i remember when i was little you used to go into your room with dad and you were so scared. i never questioned it though." she said, i sighed navy and ran and hand through my hair, remembering the yellow and red hurricanes that flew in my chest towards my chest walls. trying to suffocate me inside out.

"yes, like that." i said she giggled ghoul's laugh, nuzzling into my side, i got up off the bed after kissing her, going back to bed.

"please don't leave." she said, i turned back to her, going back to her side, going underneath the covers, holding my daughter away from her demons.

"i'm sorry i gave this to you." i said, she nuzzled into my neck.

"it's fine. it's not really your fault." she said, i sighed and ran my hands through her hair. kissing it. it was my fault but i didn't fight back. something told me she got ghoul's fighting gene.

"party? party-" i heard, but a pause once the door opened. i turned my head towards to door, to see ghoul standing there, in awe. i unlatched ace from my body and kissed her softly, putting the covers over her and going to mu husband in the doorway, kissing him passionately on the lips. i shut the door silently.

"she has night terrors, and she didn't want me to leave." i said, he leaned his head on my shoulder.

"that makes sense, you don't part me when you get them." he said, i sighed blue wind as he tucked my hair behind my head, neatening it up.

"it will be okay party, i promise." he said, before i knew it i was engulfed in a kiss. but it was one of those where you needed to latch on and never let go. as if you were falling from a cliff, but you are caught.

"i just don't want her to suffer any more." i said, ghoul took me into our room and shut the door, letting me cry into his chest softly. there was a white draft that flew in between us, he wrapped the blanket around me.

"it;s okay party. it really is okay, she's safe now. heck, party she's going to be with the girl today, she'll be perfectly fine." ghoul reassured. he rubbed my back like he did when we first got here. i silently cried into his shoulder.

"ghoul, i have to play both parts. mom and dad. why does it hurt so freaking much?" i whined black-blue into his shoulder, crying softly. i heard footsteps pass the door and up the stairs. ghoul ran hands through my hair, whispering nonsense as he thought of his answer.

"its because you've never really done it before, gerard, it hurts because she's never had anyone, and you couldn't be there for her after she was a few months old. it's hurting, of course it will, but you need to learn that it's going to be okay and that she'll just naturally rely on us for things. we're her parents after all. it's all new party, and it''s going to be okay." ghoul said, murmuring my real name softly in the text. i latched on harder.

"how long will it take frank?" i whispered.

"as long as time wants it to." he said, i looked up into his mountains, the ones that matched mine. he wiped the tears away and kissed me on the lips.

he let me lay on his shoulder until the pain flew away with the drafts.
