(a/n) I hope you guys like it! Shinkami is one of my favorite ships. This prompt isn't dialogue like the others, but I hope you enjoy none the less. 

Prompt: person a noticed how person b is having trouble falling asleep, so they try to help them 

Kaminari was getting worried. Shinsou had transferred to hero course (although he was in class B) a little over a week ago, and the blond had yet to see the boy sleep. Each day, it seemed, the bags under his eyes got darker. After voicing his concerns to the baku-squad, Kirishima had urged him to check in on the other boy. Denki had, for some bizarre reason, thought this was a good idea, and now he was standing outside Shinsou's dorm. Denki knocked on the door, and it swung open.

"Kaminari. Hi." Hitoshi drawled, sounding bored and not the least bit surprised.

"Hi Hitoshi! Can I come in?" Kaminari fidgeted with the hem of his yellow flannel. He had changed out of his uniform the second school let out, but was now embarrassed by the low cut of the white MCR shirt he had on underneath.

"Sure, I'm not doing much. What's up?" Shinsou gestured for Denki to follow him, and Denki stepped into the other boy's dorm. He'd never been inside it before, but he wasn't surprised. The ceiling was edged with led lights, currently pulsing a faint purple. The dark curtains were shut tight, and aside from the led lights, the room was dark. A couple of posters for games, books, and movies Denki hadn't heard of lined the wall in mismatched patches, and a well stocked bookshelf stood next to a gaming setup. There was a plain bed with black and lilac sheets in the corner, and it looked largely unused. The room was surprisingly neat for a teenage boy's, Denki's dorm was positively a mess.

Shinsou looked like he still wanted a reply, but denki, in all his stupid glory, hadn't planned this far ahead. Luckily, he was used to coming up with things on the fly.

"I was just thinking we could hang out! Play some games and stuff..." Shinsou eyed him curiously, so Denki kept going. "You know, like friends do!" He added with a smile, and if his cheeks were slightly pinker than normal, Shinsou didn't seem to notice.

"I suppose so... We have an essay in English due soon though, so I'll have to work on that eventually," Shinsou turned away, booting up his nintendo switch.

The two played games for a while, and Denki had almost forgotten why he'd come. Shinou's eyes were still focused on the screen, concentrating on making the sharp turns of Rainbow Road. Denki suddenly let out a huge yawn, and his character went careening off the edge.

"Shit man. How are you not tired? It's like 3 in the morning, plus we have classes tomorrow."

"I normally don't sleep much. You can go back to your dorm if you want, I won't mind." Shinsou said, glancing over at Denki with a touch of concern.

"You know, I don't think I can go back. It's past curfew, and if Aizowa sees my ID card on the scan records at this time..." Denki trailed off, shuddering in terror at the potential punishments Aizowa might inflict.

"Oh shit. You're totally right, I shouldn't have kept you this long... but if you need a place to stay, you could alway stay in my room" Shinsou suggested, determinedly not meeting Denki's eyes. Denki thought he saw the hint of blush on the other boy's cheeks, but the purple lighting made it hard to tell.

"You sure that'd be okay? I don't wanna intrude or anything."

"Of course! It's fine, don't worry. It's my fault you're here so late in the first place." Denki tried to argue with that, but Shinsou turned back to the screen. The two gamed for a little bit more, before Denki tiredly requested they get ready for bed. Shinsou loaned him a far too big night shirt, and Denki slipped under the lilac sheets.

"Are you gonna go to bed too? If you'd rather I take the chair or floor, that's fine too" Denki suddenly felt unsure. The two had been growing closer, sure, but sharing a bed was quite a step. At least in Denki's boy-crazy, hormone driven mind.

"Eh, it's fine. As I said, I don't sleep much."

"You sure? You should at least try to sleep" Denki pleaded, but could see that Shinsou wasn't convinced. "I feel like I'm kicking you out of your own bed... common, you should lay down." Denki knew he was guilt tripping Shinsou, but he didn't care. The longer he went without sleep, the more likely he was to reveal his crush.

Shinsou glanced around awkwardly, but didn't want Denki to feel bad. He pushed over the black comforter and joined the blond in his bed. The two layed in silence for a beat, before shinsou asked "what now?"

Denki was a tad confused by the question. "Well, we could go straight to sleep if you want. When I hang out with Mina we usually stay up gossiping, but that's just her. We could talk if you'd like?"

"Talking would be nice."

"Okay! What'd you wanna talk about?"

"Um.. I'm not sure." Shinsou paused for a moment, thinking. "Why did you come here in the first place? Not that I'm mad, or anything. I had a really fun time with you.. It was chill.."

"I was worried about you. You didn't look like you were getting enough sleep, and now," Denki rolled over to bop shinsou on the nose. "I know that's true."

Shinsou blushed madly at the gesture, but it was hidden in the semi-darkness.

"I get plenty of sleep." Shinsou grumbled.

"Do you? How much sleep did you get last night?" Denki asked, schooching slightly closer.

"Plenty. At least three hours."

"Only three hours? Gosh man, you need more sleep than I thought you did."

"Yeah.. I guess so.." Denki was practically against Shinsou now, which made sense. It's not like he had a king sized bed, or anything. Shinsou awkwardly moved to drape his arm around the other boy, who smiled and buried deeper into the embrace. Shinsou didn't have many friends, but he certainly knew this wasn't normal friend behavior. Denki didn't seem to mind, however, and gave a contented sigh.

"You smell nice." The blond said suddenly. Shinsou wasn't entirely sure how to respond.

"I- thanks? You smell nice too..." Shinsou was definitely blushing now. He hadn't paid much attention to Kaminari's scent earlier, but now it seemed to suffocate him. Maybe it was because he had his face nestled in the other's hair, but the smell of strawberry shampoo seemed overwhelming.

"Yeah..." Denki trailed off, and Shinsou could tell from his tone he was exhausted. Denki sounded half asleep. Shinsou doubted the boy was even aware of what he was saying. "I like you. Like a lot..." The blond trailed off, and shinsou felt his face light on fire. He would have pulled away, but at this point Denki had latched onto him like a heat-seeking koala.

"I- I like you a lot too" Shinsou knew he shouldn't be this nervous, the blond was practically unconscious anyways.

"Yeah, but not in the way I like you... The way I like you is like, you know, boyfriend stuff..." Denki's face, his eyes closed, twisted into a faint smile.

"Not really... that's how I like you too. Boyfriend stuff." Shinsou felt like he was soaring, and hugged the smaller boy closer. Denki gave no response, and shinsou could feel his breathing even out. Shinsou smiled, and for the first time in weeks, he fell asleep easily.
