Bakugou's POV:

I lay awake, gazing at the ceiling. Kirishima's chest is warm and comfortable, I feel safe with his arms wrapped around me and I dig my head into his neck more.

A few hours ago i got to sleep, but have been kept awake by the thoughts of a movie i watched earlier.

Its a true story, about cave divers rescuing a whole football team by diving them unconscious out of a flooding cave.

As i was watched it, my heart rate was unsteady, not knowing if they would survive with all the things going wrong. I know i could never have done such a thing. Diving deep into dark, muddy water for hours. Even as a hero I don't think i could.

This is why I always stray from watching movies near night or movies that trigger my anxiety at all. It keeps me awake at night. Even if it's not scary...

I glance over to my alarm clock reading 1:35am and sigh.

I don't want to go back to sleep but i can't stay up for three hours doing nothing. Maybe i should wake Kiri...but he looks so peaceful when he sleeps.

Sitting up, i use my hands to gently shake him.

Eijiro..he wants me to call him Eijiro i can't forget

"Eijiro..wake up please" i whisper and he squirms, "Eijiro wake up" i mutter with one last shake as he opens his eyes.

"Kat?" he mumbles, then looks to see the time, "why are you awake?"

"I can't go back to sleep...and theres nothing to do but sleep" i explain.

"Katsuki, come here" he says, holding out his arms as he lays on his back. I lay back down on top of him, resting my head on his chest as he wraps his arms tightly around me and moves us so were both laying on our sides. An even more comfortable position.

"Is something keeping you awake?" he asks, as I tangle our legs together and move as close as i can to him, burring my head into his chest.

"Movie" i mutter.

"A horror movie?"

"No a true documentary"

"Oh? Didn't know you were into that" he whispers.

"I'm not, as you can see it keeps me awake" i whisper back and he chuckles wrapping his arms tighter around me.

"Are you tired? Do you think you can fall asleep?" he questions.

"No, not really. I don't feel like sleeping"

"Lets go and get you some fresh air and a glass of water hmm?" he mumbles, loosening his grip and sitting up right.

"Ok, don't run off without me" I tease as he almost has to lay back down because hes so tired.

We make our way out of the dorm and into the common room, using the torch on our phones to see.

I sit down on one of the chairs at the table as Eijiro gets me a glass of water.

"Thank you" i mutter, taking a few sips. Water usually always tastes so good at night but not today. He brings over a chair and puts it right up to mine, sitting on it and resting his head on my shoulder.

"I'm tireddddd" he whines and i wrap my arms around him. I sit there contemplating whether or not i should go back to sleep.

All of a sudden i hear rustling and foot steps and we point our lights in the direction of noise. 

"Oh hey" i hear a tired voice state and i sigh in relief.

It's just Todoroki

"What are you doing awake Icy-Hot?" i ask as he shines his light on me, making me squint as he flashes my eyes, Eijiro's head still on my shoulder.
