Kaminaris POV

Ever since the mall, Toshi's been hanging out with us alot more and I think thats really great . Well, he doesn't always seem super thrilled about being dragged along but I can tell he likes our company. He's been alot more social and comes out of his dorm more often. Though, I've been really concerned for him. He's hardly been getting any sleep and that's normal for Shinso, I know, but when he does sleep, he wakes up sweating and in tears. He won't tell me what's going on but I can tell that everytime, he has the same nightmare because of of what he says in his sleep. He rarely ever wakes up screaming, or anything like that, just silent sobs. It makes me really sad to see my friend like this so I started sitting next to his bed while he sleeps. Yeah, yeah, i know it's a little creepy but I want to be able to protect him. I haven't been getting enough sleep anymore but I don't care about that. I just want to be there for my friend.

Shinsos POV

They're back. The nightmares. I want to just forget about it but it still is there. It still haunts me. Why are they coming back? I'm probably weirding out Kaminari. He asked what they were about before but I couldn't tell him. It's too embarrassing and personal and I don't want him to act differently around me so I didn't tell him. I don't want to think about it. Im trying my best to lock up those terrifying memories and leave them to fade away but I know that I can never forget those things he did to me. I'll never be able to forget. I know he's gone and is never coming back but he's still here. He won't leave me alone.

Tears fell to the ground mixing with the blood that seeped though the cracks in the tile floor. I'm too used to looking at this floor.

The same floor.

The same blood stains.

The same scars.

The same room.

The same man.

There he was. He made his way over to me kicking over a couple beer bottles, carelessly. He came over to me, kneeling down to study my face. I avoided eye contact. I'd rather die than look into his eyes.

"Why so quiet, babe?"

"..."

He chuckled before standing up and pacing for a few seconds. He swung his foot in my side. I cringed as the sharp pain shot through my ribs.

I can stop him.

I have the power to stop him.

Why do I let this happen? Why do I let him do these things to me? I'm such a coward.
What happened to him? He used to be a good person but... what happened?

I felt someone shaking me softly.

"Shinso, wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes to see Kaminari wiping away my tears with his thumbs. His hands were really soft and they comforted me.

"You Ok?"

I nodded.

He gave me a warm smile.

It was just a nightmare.

Sorry the chapter was really short and there wasn't anything super exciting.
Also if you have any theories then feel free to share.
