"KAMINARI?" Y/n whispered as she opened her door late at night, only to see him holding up blankets and his headphones. "It's like...1 in the morning-"

"Are you tired?"

She blinked a few times. "...Yeah, but-"

"Let's go to bed." He insisted, brushing past her and allowing himself inside her dorm.

"W-What? But I'll just have nightmares-"

"You haven't slept properly in the past few nights. Finals are coming up, and you've gotta rest up for those so you can pass and graduate. So let's find a solution to your problem." He thought aloud, lifting her covers and crawling into her bed.

"Kami, I get you wanna help, but I said that I'm fine dealing with my nightmares by myself. I thought we moved past this—"

"Nope. We didn't." He bellowed, staring her down. "You always take time out of your day to help others, I mean, that's why you're a hero in the first place. So let me do this for you."

"But...I don't wanna...dream of my fears again." She whispered, fussing as she hesitantly walked to her bed.

"That's why I'll be here!" He smiled, grabbing her hand as he helped her get under the covers. "If you wake up from a nightmare, I'll be here to immediately comfort you."

Y/n slouched as she sat on her knees, her head low. "...I can go a few more days without sleeping..."

Kaminari felt a wave of pity overcome him. Her nightmares must be really horrifying if she refuses to sleep for a week straight. But he didn't want her to live as an insomniac for the rest of her life.

He slipped his hands under her hair and cupped her face, tilting her head to look at him. "Y/n...do you trust me?"

"...Yeah..."

"I promise, when you wake up, I'll be here. So you don't have to be scared. But you've gotta sleep. For your health. There's nothing to be afraid of, okay?"

"...Yeah, okay." She whispered, slightly persuaded.

"Good! Now put on these headphones!" He lifted up a pair of black bluetooth headphones, placing them on her head and over her ears.
