As I woke up, I noticed that Momo, Mina, and Jiro were already awake, but some of the others were still sleeping peacefully. I rose from my sleeping bag and turned to see Akari murmuring in her sleep, but her words were tinged with worry and panic.

"Girls, I think Akari is having a nightmare," I whispered, concern evident in my voice as I turned to them for support. "I'm sure it's nothing serious, Y/n," Momo reassured me with a calm demeanor, though her eyes betrayed a hint of concern.

Just then, Akari's murmurs grew louder, accompanied by beads of sweat forming on her forehead. It was clear that her dreams were anything but peaceful.

"Guys, I think this is serious. Akari is sweating in her sleep; the nightmare could be bad," I expressed, my worry palpable in the air. Momo turned her attention to Akari, furrowing her brow in concern. "You're right, but how can you tell if her nightmare is that bad?" she asked, searching for insight. "C.C. used to have nightmares just as bad," I recalled memories of my little sister's troubled sleep surfacing.

"Sometimes, it's not just the sweating or mumbling. It's the way their body tenses up like they're reliving something terrifying." As we spoke, Akari's distress seemed to intensify, her murmurs turning into soft cries of distress. It was clear that whatever haunted her dreams was deeply troubling.

"Who are you? Where are my friends?" Akari's voice trembled with fear as she mumbled in her sleep, her words sending a chill down my spine. Momo's expression mirrored my unease as she whispered, "What could she be dreaming about? It sounds so intense." "I don't know," I admitted, my heart sinking at the thought of Akari being trapped in a frightening dream. "But we have to wake her up. She's in distress."

Jiro nodded in agreement, understanding the urgency of the situation. "Let's gently try to wake her. Maybe talking to her will help snap her out of it." We approached Akari's side, speaking softly and trying to soothe her troubled sleep. It was heartbreaking to see her caught in the grip of a nightmare, a world of fear and confusion.

I gently tapped Akari's shoulder, but she didn't stir. "She's in a deep sleep," Mina observed, her eyes fixed on Akari's troubled expression. "Well, I'm going to wake her up. Hopefully, it won't get worse," I declared, my voice tinged with apprehension as I shook her slightly.

Akari's eyes snapped open, but they were clouded with remnants of her nightmare. She looked around frantically, trying to make sense of her surroundings. “Akari, thank goodness you’re okay,” Momo you're okay," Momo exclaimed, relief flooding her features as she rushed forward to embrace her.

"We've been so worried.” “It was just a bad dream.” She said to herself “Yeah, it was. Do you want to talk about it?” I asked  She shook her head, “No, not now.” she said her voice a little shaky “If you’re sure, then okay. Just remember we’re here for you.” Jiro said a little worried.

(I was going to put this in Fell for a villain, but I’m already working on this story. Also, Akari is Y/n in Fell for a villain, for Dabi x readers)

It had been a couple of weeks since the sleepover, yet Akari seemed even more exhausted than that unsettling night. Her usual lively demeanor had dimmed, replaced by a weariness that weighed heavily on her shoulders. During training sessions, she struggled to keep up, and today, she ended up getting knocked out while sparring against Deku.

As we sat together afterward, catching our breath, I couldn't ignore the concern bubbling inside me any longer. "Akari, are you okay? You've seemed off lately," I ventured, my voice filled with genuine worry. Akari hesitated, her gaze dropping to the ground before meeting mine. "I... I've been having these nightmares," she admitted in a quiet voice, her vulnerability tugging at my heart.

"Nightmares?" I echoed softly, reaching out to offer a comforting touch. "About what?" "It's... hard to explain," she murmured, her eyes clouded with memories she seemed reluctant to share.
"You don't have to tell me if you're not ready," I assured her, giving her space but also letting her know that I was there whenever she needed to talk.

Akari nodded gratefully, a small smile flickering across her lips. "Thanks, Y/n. I just... I'll figure it out." I could sense the weight of her unspoken words, and I made a silent promise to be there for her, no matter what haunted her dreams.
