Prompt: "Are you still awake?"

Usually, Denki Kaminari had no trouble falling asleep. Days were long, school was boring, and he tended to be energetic. Usually, this all culminated in Denki being dead tired at the end of the day. Today, he wasn't sure what was different. The day seemed about average. He went to class and hung out in the dorms with his boyfriend, Shinsou. A couple hours later, with significantly more hickies than before, Shinsou snuck back to his dorm. However, the purple haired teen returned later. Monoma was being annoying and getting on his last nerve. Not wanting to subject his boyfriend to the horrific Neito Monama, Denki offered to let Shinsou stay the night.

It wasn't the first time Shinsou had slept over. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence to find Shinsou sleeping in Denki's dorm, but it was an unspoken rule that students were meant to stay in their own beds during the night. Denki always found it relaxing. He could hear deep inhalations of the other, feel the heat radiating off his boyfriend. Denki could melt into Shinsou's arms, and curl up against his chest. Usually, in Shinsou's warm embrace and after a long day of training, Denki would have fallen asleep right away.

But instead, he laid awake, his eyes finding patterns in the ceiling. He rolled over again, the 10th time in the past 15 minutes. It was no secret that Denki had a short attention span, and staring at the ceiling wasn't Denki's idea of entertaining. Rolling over one last time, he poked his boyfriend in the side.

"Pst. hey. Are you still awake?"

"No." The response came immediately, and his hand was slapped away the next time he tried to poke Shinsou.

"Rude," Denki stated, rubbing the spot on his hand. "I'm bored"

"A tragedy," Shinsou deadpanned, moving to hug his boyfriend.

"No actually! It is!" Denki inseasted, pulling out of Shinsou's arms. He sat up, cross legged, and looked at the purple haired boy next to him. "You should entertain me. Or help or something."

"And how should I do that?" Shinsou asked, sounding vaguely amused. He propped himself up on his elbows, and the electric blond seemed to glow under the attention.

"Hmm. I dunno. What do you normally do when you can't sleep?"

"Nothing. It doesn't help. I can't sleep regardless." Denki considered this, but found that answer dissatisfactory.

"Lame. Get some sleep. Fucking insmoniac. At least help me get some sleep" Denki whined.

"Fine. How should I do that?"

"Hmm." Denki pondered, "You could put me under your quirk? And then tell me to fall asleep."

"Absolutely not. That seems a tad too drastic. When I said nothing works for me, I meant like... melatonin. And sleepy time tea. And yoga and white noise and shit." Shinsou retorted, flopping back down onto Denki's bed.

"Ohhhh. Tea sounds nice." Denki said, his tone telling Shinsou he wanted something.

"I love you, but I'm not getting up to make tea for you. I'm not even supposed to be in the 1a dorms."

"Come on, please? I just want someone to go with me" Denki could see from the moonlight that Shinsou still looked unconvinced. "Besides. If Aizowa catches just me down there, he'll have my head. If he catches both of us, he'll be so focused on how you were in the wrong building, he'll forget about how I was out of bed."

"So... Your plan is to use me as a scapegoat?"

"No! Well. yeah... kind of. But Aizowa's got a soft spot for you, and he won't be as strict. Come on Shinsou, please?"

Shinsou still didn't want to get up, but he nodded his agreement. The two set about making a pot of tea, and drunk it together in Denki's dorm. It was quite late now, and Denki was glad he didn't have school the next day. The couple played a few more rounds of Mario Kart, before Denki stifled a yawn.

"Okay. I think I'm tired enough to go to sleep now. Denki said, resting his head on Shinou's shoulder.

"Okay then. Glad I could help." Shinsou smiled, then pulled the blond over to the bed. The couple curled up, Shinsou forming a protective arch around Denki's back. Eventually, Shinsou heard Denki's breath even out, and knew the other had fallen asleep.
