the night at the training camp was supposed to be quiet and restful because of how exhausted everyone was from a whole day of training. but, y/n was tossing and turning on his futon. the rhythmic chirping of crickets outside the window  was keeping him up, the occasional rustle of wind through the trees was keeping him up, his mind would just not calm down. even though he felt all day he was about to pass out any minute.

after another few minutes, he was finally starting to drift off. his eyes closed and his breathing turned soft. it was then he felt a warm weight suddenly appear with a shuffle behind him. at first, he thought he was already dreaming, but then he felt familiar arms wrap around him, pulling him close.

y/n's initial tension melted away as he recognized the touch. it was just tanaka.

"yes?" he mumbled grouchily, face half buried in his pillow as his eyes stayed closed. he was still trying to fall asleep, but wanted to know if tanaka needed anything.

instead of a coherent response, tanaka mumbled something under his breath. y/n felt a slight tremble in his grip, and his breathing was uneven. y/n opened his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he listened closely and heard his name being mumbled in a distressed tone.

"... please... y/n, i'll change..." tanaka's voice was shaky, filled with an almost desperate plea.

y/n's concern deepened. he looked down and put his hands on top of tanka's, careful not to startle him too much. "hey, ryu, wake up."

tanaka's mumbles grew more intense, his grip tightening around y/n. "no... why?"

"ryunosuke, wake up. it's not real."

finally, tanaka's eyes fluttered open, confusion and panic evident in his gaze. he blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of his surroundings. "y/n? what?"

y/n turned to his other side so that he was facing tanaka, cupping his cheek gently. "hey. it's okay. you were having a bad dream, i think."

tanaka's breath hitched as remembered what had just been in his mind, and he let out a shaky sigh of relief. "oh god, it felt so real..."

"what happened?" y/n asked softly, his thumb brushing comforting circles on tanaka's cheek.

tanaka hesitated, his eyes filled with lingering fear. "you... you told me you fell out of love with me. and you were with... with noya."

y/n's heart ached at the pain in tanaka's voice. he shook his head and wrapped his arms around him tightly. "that was just a dream."

tanaka's grip on y/n tightened, his body still trembling slightly. "but i got scared, y/n. it felt so real. i thought i lost you."

"you haven't lost me," y/n whispered, pressing a soft kiss to tanaka's forehead. "i'm right here, and i'm not going anywhere. dreams can be scary, but they aren't real."

tanaka buried his face in y/n's neck, taking deep breaths to calm himself. "i don't know why i dreamed that..."

"it's just your mind playing tricks," y/n reassured him, stroking his back soothingly. "you have nothing to worry about. i wouldn't leave you for anyone else, especially not nishinoya."

tanaka let out a small, relieved laugh. "i know, it's just... sometimes i get these stupid thoughts. but hearing you say that helps. thank you, y/n. i love you so much."

"i love you too," y/n replied.

as they settled back into their futons, tanaka kept his arms securely around y/n, his breathing finally evening out. y/n snuggled closer, feeling the warmth of tanaka's body against his. the comforting presence of his boyfriend helped him relax, and soon enough, sleep claimed them both.
