My Hero Academia Imagines

Somnolent (Shinsou Hitoshi)

Shinsou Hitoshi x Reader

Requested by: InkyTea

Request: How about something with Shinsou and a fem reader. She shows up cause he was late for what was supposed to be like maybe their third date and never really answered his phone. So concerned she went to check on him but he sort of fell asleep before their date. So when he opens the door he's all groggy in like cat print pajamas. Maybe some embarrassment and laughter? Something cute and sweet? Please and thank you so much!

Having gathered the nickname 'Tired Eye Hero' had always seemed like a loving pet name the media had dubbed for him since his debut a few years ago. From the mess of a bedhead of hair to the way his eyes always seemed to have dark circles or bags under them, it was no wonder that Shinsou Hitoshi had been made out to be a restless and sleepless hero early on.

You, however, had always assumed that name to be nothing but the media taking his appearance at face value, especially seeing how awake and alert the male always was no matter if it was doing hero work or on a date. He was always on time, had good judgement and knew his stuff whether it was saving the day, or picking the right attire to wear in case of weather.

So as the 9 pm hour neared and you were still left sitting by yourself in the booth where you were supposed to meet you boyfriend two hours ago for a late dinner... you couldn't help but grow worried.

You had not heard or seen anything on the news about any incidents... so that must not be it. However, Shinsou wasn't known to be a public hero. For all you knew, and it was likely, he was on some undercover mission and had gotten hurt or worse.

The mere thoughts had been consuming your mind all night and had made it extremely hard to even drink the wine you had ordered while waiting. Seeing now as two hours had passed without so much as a text... you decided to find out the truth yourself and see exactly what had become of your new boyfriend.

The two of you hadn't been dating for long, only around three or four dates... but even still he had given you his address in case anything happened and you needed to seek shelter or safety from him.

And while this wasn't the situation he probably ever intended for it to be used... you knew that checking his apartment for him would for sure bring you some comfort and safety if you found him there.

And thus, you paid your tab, got a cab and soon were standing in front of his door and knocking like no tomorrow. The worry inside of your heart was too great and you knew you needed to at least see he was okay before you could rationalize anything else.

Suddenly, the door was opened and it revealed a more tired and groggy looking Shinsou then you had ever seen before. He was decked out in some pajamas with multi-colored cats and looked that his hair was even messier then you could have ever expected.

"Huh... (Name)?" Shinsou spoke, rubbing at his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

You took a long and a deep sigh of relief. Just looking at him... you could tell he had fallen asleep from a lack of sleep and lost track of time. You smiled gently at him, knowing he didn't do this on purpose and instead tugged him into your arms.

"You didn't show up for our date tonight... so I got worried." You told him. "Glad to see it was only sleeping deprivation though."

"Date...?" Shinsou's brain seemed to be functioning slowly but surely as in the next moment his eyes widened. "Crap! We had a date tonight! I'm so sorry! Work this week-"

You pressed a finger to his lips. "Relax. I'm not mad at all. In fact... would you mind letting me in? If you're awake for a little bit... how does a movie sound?"

Shinsou hummed softly, nodding and moving aside to let you in. A night of cuddling and sleeping with the girl who was slwoly winning his heart over every step along the way and with every moment he spent with her?

"Sounds perfect.' He told her, shutting the door behind her and wasting no time in letting her know how much he loved and missed her and was thankful to her with a simple, but a sweet kiss on top of your forehead.
