3rd POV
Panic. That's all you felt as you swiftly sat up, breathing heavy and skin cold and sweaty. 'Another nightmare...' You thought as you ran a hand through your (h/l) hair. You took a moment to steady your uneven breaths, a hand on your chest as you swallowed. You slowly and shakily stood up, wrapping yourself in one of your fluffiest blankets before walking out of your living quarters and over to the Mess Hall kitchen to get yourself something to drink. As you shuffled, you passed by a certain cyborg ninja's room, hearing movement but passing it off as him doing his think.
Once you had managed to get yourself to the Mess Hall kitchen, you grabbed yourself a cup, deciding to boil some water for tea. When you finally had your tea prepared and your mess cleaned up, you were about to walk out of the kitchen, only to be stopped by a big metallic thing in front of you. That big metallic thing being the chestplate to Genji, the man you had fallen so hard for.
"H-Hey! G-Genji! What a-are you doing up so late?" You ask with a blush, stuttering partially from surprise, partially from embarrassment. "I would rather ask the same to you, (Y/N). Why might you be up this late in the evening?" Genji's calm, soothing voice felt like honey to calm your previously quarreling fears. "I uh... I had another nightmare," You spoke rather bluntly, taking a sip of your tea and averting your gaze away from his visor. His gaze felt stronger than ever as he rose a brow under his mask. The swordsman had known about your nightmares for a while, becoming increasingly concerned with the frequency of you getting said nightmares. He ran a hand through your (h/c) (h/l) hair, pulling you closely to himself and hugging you.
"Would you like me to assist you in falling back to a slumber? I could possibly aide in keeping your dreams from becoming riddled with night terrors," Genji offered you, causing you to hum in thought. "Hmm... if it wouldn't cause too much trouble..." you sighed, blushing deeper as you wished you had a mask to hide beneath like he could. Genji smiled under his mask, chuckling softly as he replied, "Not at all, not for someone as dear to me as you." You squealed internally as you smiled. He carefully guided you to his own living quarters, causing you to smile as you entered the tidy room. Genji allowed you to finish your cup of tea before carefully tucking you in to his own bed. You took a deep breath and sighed. Everything smelled like him- as creepy as it sounds. It was calming, you closed your eyes and fidgeted for a moment before opening them again.
  "Genji?" Your soft voice rang out in the room, causing him to turn and look at you, "Hm? What is it, (Y/N)?" "C-Can you- um... c-ca-can you p-please lay d-d-down w-with me?" Your voice got immensely quieter as you blushed and hid your face in his blanket. "Why would that be? Surely I would be uncomfortable to lay with, considering my current form." A slight bit of disappointment in his voice. "I-I just want someone to lay with. I-I don't m-mind a-at all.." The green cyborg sighed and gave in, walking back over to the bed and looking at you. He reached behind his head and unclipped his mask, resting it on his night stand. You had seen his face before, but only for a few moments. He was just as handsome as ever, the scars that adorned his face did not phase you. In fact, you felt they added to his features quite nicely. Genji slid into the bed with you and laid beside you, however not wanting to touch you. You believed he didn't want to touch you, but he on the other hand, simply didn't think you'd be comfortable cuddling with metal. You, on the other hand were way too tired to care as this point as you nuzzled against him, resting your head on his chest. Closing your eyes you felt him tense up briefly before relaxing, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer. You fell asleep fast, barely feeling the gentle peck of his lips on top of your head as he whispered, "Rest well, my dear (Y/N)," just before he drifted to sleep himself.

*Time skip- Next Morning*

  You slept amazingly after you had went to bed with Genji, no nightmares, no waking up, hell, even you were able to sleep for longer. You shifted as you woke up, remembering you were sleeping with the cyborg, snuggling closer to him and closing your eyes again. Genji shifted himself before kissing the top of your head, running a gentle hand through your hair as he spoke, "How did you sleep, my cherry blossom?" You smiled and replied, "Better than ever. Thank you so much... I love you..."
  You felt him nuzzle you as you looked up at him. He leaned down slightly and pecked your lips, moving his hand to gently rub your cheek, "I love you as well, my cherry blossom."
