Y/N's POV
The bright sunlight peaked through the small window, heating up my skin as I snuggled into something warm to try and fall back asleep; not ready for the new day.
Wait - snuggled?
Peaking my head up from someone's chest, I could see the spine of a book just below my head, the title instantly jogging my brain into action
My favourite book
Looking past the cover I could see brown locks messily shaping the sides of their face, gold rimmed glasses perched on their nose as they hummed in amusement - presumably at the sentence they were reading.
My cheeks heated up as the events of the night returned to the forefront of my mind, as well as how safe the person I was snuggling made me feel. Feeling movement, Hanji paused their reading and moved the book to the side, our eyes meeting as they lifted their right hand to move some hair from my face.
"morning dear.... feeling better? I thought I would let you sleep in since you desperately needed it... and you looked so peaceful... I didn't want to ruin such a pleasant sleep".
Lifting myself from on top of them to move up next to where they sat up against the headboard, I wiped the sleep from my eyes, sighing heavily before directing a small smile their way.
"Thank you Hanji. I-I don't think I can thank you enough for looking out for me like you have. And I'm sorry for being such a burden. I know you must of had a lot of work to get done".
"Hey... stop apologizing. Everyone suffers in different ways, and I know that it's not always easy to ask for help even when it's being offered. I'm glad I was able to be there for you, you might not think it since we haven't known each other for long but.. you mean a lot to me".
I sat there looking at the foot of the bed, contemplating what Hanji just said. What do they mean by that? Is it because we grew closer these last few months? It can't be anything more than friendship... I'm sure they'd take care of Levi or Moblit like this if they were struggling.
"I do hope that you'll keep the promise that you made last night"?
I paused my movements to try and remember what happened exactly last night after waking from the nightmare. I must have looked so perplexed since a giggle erupted from the person next to me.
"I guess I can't blame you, you basically passed out after you calmed down from the dream. You promised me that you would talk to me or Nat or someone if you still can't sleep because of the nightmares".
"mhm I promise. I really wanted to ask for help but it seemed really silly to bring it up".
Hanji hummed in response, brushing their fingers lightly on my forearm before putting the book on the nightstand. Their touch sent shivers across my body as I immediately started to get out of bed, gathering up my clothes.
