I Think This Took Two Days Yet Its So Short Oops - Tumblr Posts

i just got like a random angst (??) idea like what if bf taehyun who has powers (visions/dreams of the future) but he can’t control them n is in a lot of pain when they take over his body 🤔

Whaaa this is such a good concept 🤯 I love your big brain

tw: mentions of death

Sometimes when you are out on dates you notice that your boyfriend suddenly goes quiet; body stiff, eyes blank, and seemingly suddenly disinterested in what you're saying and even his meal. You can't help but feel that maybe he's growing bored of you, waiting for the other shoe to drop and for him to break up with you. But he doesn't.

One night, you're staying over at his place—something Taehyun has only allowed a handful of times in the two years you’ve been together—when you're woken by movement beside you. Taehyun's having a fitful sleep. You roll over to find perspiration on his brow, his teeth and hands clenched as though he's in agony. You've never seen him like this and begin to worry. Pulling the covers off of him, you discover his shirt is soaked with sweat.

They say you should never wake a sleep walker... is it the same for nightmares?

"Tyun," you call quietly, half hoping he doesn't wake. He begins to tremble, small grunts emitting from his throat, and you can't bear to see him in pain any longer. Shaking his shoulders, you speak louder. "Taehyun!"

His body jolts. His eyes fly open, pupils dilated. You can feel the heat radiating off of him–it's no wonder he's sweating.

"Are- are you okay?"

It takes him a moment to see you—really see you. The feeling that he's looking straight through you is one you know all too well, but maybe this time it's just the nightmare lingering in his view. He looks exhausted, swallowing thickly, his breath still coming to him in short pants.

Blinking fervently, his eyes finally seem to focus on you. "Why did you wake me?"

The words, though not said unkindly, stun you. You thought you were doing the right thing, and now you feel so wrong.

"I... you were... I'm sorry."

Feeling defeated, you roll back over onto your side, hiding your face from him and trying not to dissolve into tears.

Taehyun, on the other hand, is grappling with so much; the lingering fatigue and physical pain that accompanies his future-seeing visions, the emotional turmoil of what he saw is inevitably to come, and the guilt of how he knows he makes you feel. One day soon you'll leave him, he thinks.

He often wants to tell you about his ability, this inconvenient thing that was thrust upon him, but then he would have to tell you what he sees.

How can he tell you that he knew you before the two of you met? That he came into your life purposely, with the intention of getting close to you, for good reason? How can he tell you that every vision he has, every waking and sleeping dream, is of your untimely death?
