You woke up in a new land. The grass was white and dead below your bare feet. The trees were barren and shriveled. The sky was black, polluted with ash and dust. You felt like you couldn't breathe, and you put a hand on your chest as you inhaled deeply.

A menacing laugh erupted behind you, making you spin and stare into the dark woods in horror. The rumble continued to grow, coming nearer and nearer.

"Help!" You screamed. "Jefferson help!"

"Wake up, Darling." The voice growled.

"Please help me!"

"Wake up!" The voice became slightly human.

You screamed again, hoping someone, anyone would hear.

"(Y/N), please wake up!" The voice was now the voice of the man you loved.

"Jefferson!" You called as your eyes popped open. You quickly recognized the plum bedsheets and patterned wallpaper surrounding you, and took in a shaky breath.

Jefferson hovered over you, one of his hands on your cheek and a worried expression on his face.

"Are you okay, darling?" He asked quietly. You nodded and sighed, willing yourself to not cry.

"Come here." He said, laying back down and pulling you on top of his bare chest. "It's okay."

He ran his fingers through your hair, effectively calming you down. You sighed and lifted your head to meet his eyes with yours. He had a small smile on his face, and you thought he was adorable.

"I love you." You whispered, making his grin wider.

"I love you more." He replied. You giggled and pecked his lips before laying back on his chest.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.

"Not really."

"Okay, love, just get some sleep. Know I'm right here to protect you."

"Thank you, Jefferson."

"Anything for you."

And you drifted off into a dream less sleep.

A/N

Just something quick for Jefferson:)

For the 10k special, I was thinking of having Seb, Bucky, and Jefferson all fighting over you, then a different ending for each.

Sound good?
