I already know ppl aren't gonna like this one... but pls try

-

You were laying in bed after reading part of Daiki's journal, just looking up at the ceiling.

You heard some noise coming from downstairs and realized that Aizawa was home with Eri and Haru. Pretty sure the door was pushed open and Haru was running over to the bed.

"Mommy!" He called as he fought to climb onto the bed. "I got chicken fingers!" He said as he crawled over to you and put his face against yours.

You hummed as you kissed his cheek. "Were they yummy?"

Haru nodded his head. "I'm eating them right now, in the kitchen!" He pointed at the door. "Want to come? You can try one?"

You sighed as you stood up, not because Haru was bothering you, but because you know you didn't sleep at all.

Haru stood on the bed and hurried over to the edge, raising him arms up for you. You picked him up and turned towards the door, going downstairs to check out these chicken fingers.

When you got downstairs and into the kitchen Aizawa was following you with his eyes. "Sleep at all?"

You nodded your head, not really looking at him.

In the center of the kitchen table there were napkins put down with a whole bunch of chicken fingers and french fries on top of them. Eri was leaning forward in her seat, looking for the next chicken finger to choose.

Haru squirmed in your arms until you got the message and put him down in his chair so he could also eat more chicken fingers.

When your hands were free you rubbed them over your face.

"Didn't sleep?" Aizawa asked, he was standing closer to you now and you felt his arm wrap around your shoulders.

You shook your head into your hands and leaned against him.

Aizawa wrapped his other arm around you. "Do you want me to lay down with you?" He asked quietly.

You nodded your head.

Aizawa looked at Eri and Haru, they were pretty indulged in their chicken fingers and fries right now. As he was heading upstairs with you, he picked up the remote from the couch in the living room and turned on the TV, so that hopefully Eri and Haru would stay downstairs longer.

He brought you into your bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed with you.

"I'm not gonna be able to sleep." You mumbled, already knowing how this was gonna go.

Aizawa patted your back and began to lay down with you. "That's okay, let's just close our eyes."

You laid down against him while he continued to hold you and closed your eyes.

"Shota, I'm not gonna be able to fall asleep." You said again.

His hand moved up to the back of your head and pet your hair. "Let's just close our eyes."

Your eyes were closed, but you were thinking about too many things, and when you thought about certain things for so long you were able to start seeing them with your eyes closed.

"Shota, I can't" You said, opening your eyes. "I can't stop thinking"

"Tell me what you're thinking about, so you don't have to think about it anymore." He said. "Close your eyes, and talk out loud if you start thinking too much."

You didn't like this, it felt like a therapy session. But you were so tired your head was aching, and your eyes closed anyways if you weren't trying to keep them open.
