☾

You shot up from your position in your bed with a gasp and beads of sweat slowly trailing down your forehead and spine. You were awoken from your slumber by a nightmare that disturbed you greatly and you could not seem to forget. You don't normally recall your dreams, the events of these dreams long forgotten most of the time when the rays of sunshine that peak through your curtains wake you.

You glanced at the alarm clock that sat beside you, which displayed that the time was currently 5:47 am. With a sigh you threw the covers off yourself and got out of bed, deciding to visit the dorm kitchen that you resided in as you weren't going to be sleeping anytime soon, the events of your nightmare still plaguing your mind.

You strolled through the dark and empty hallways of the building before finally entering the kitchen and found that the kitchen was also occupied by a familiar blond, Bakugou Katsuki. Bakugou, who also sensed your presence, turned around to face you with his usual unimpressed expression and a "tsk". Normally you would respond with the same unimpressed expression or send a snarky comment his way, but you weren't in the mood and so to avoid any arguments with the blond you ignored him and walked past Bakugou to pour yourself a glass of water. Bakugou raised an eyebrow in confusion, finding your response uncharacteristic of you.

"Hey bitch, what's got you in a bad mood?"

You rolled your eyes at Bakugou's comment and continued to ignore him, minding your business and sipping your water. Your lack of response irritated bakugou, so the blond stormed up to you and grabbed your wrist that was not holding a glass of water to get your attention.

"Oi, don't ignore me shrimp, when I ask you something you sure as hell will answer me." Bakugou stated disapprovingly, looking directly in your blue orbs with an unimpressed expression.

You sent Bakugou a death glare before harshly removing his grip that he had on your wrist.

"Lay off asshole, I'm not in the mood!" You responded to Bakugou with a harsh tone.

You then turned away from the blond and began to make your way back to your dorm, however Bakugou stopped you by grabbing your arm and turning you around to face him once more.

"Going somewhere? I'm not letting you go until you tell me why you're being a bigger pain in my ass than usual." Bakugou stated seriously, the grip on your arm tightening to emphasise his point, although not too tightly that it hurt.

Your anger was replaced with sadness and fear as you recalled the traumatising nightmare that was causing you to have a poor attitude towards Bakugou.

"Forget about it, it doesn't matter." You responded, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from your blue orbs. You tried to escape from Bakugou's grasp once more, desperate to leave and go back to your dorm so that Bakugou could not see you in such a weak state, however that was easier said than done due to the large difference in physical strength between Bakugou and yourself.

"You had a nightmare, didn't you?..." Bakugou questioned with a soft tone, his expression also softening as he observed you.

Your eyes widened, shocked that Bakugou was being uncharacteristically caring towards you. You were unable to find the words to respond to Bakugou due to your shocked state and Bakugou sighed, noting that your silence meant his observation was correct. The blond then picked you up bridal style and began carrying you up stairs to his dorm room, which caused you to become flustered and cling onto Bakugou so that you would not fall from his muscular arms and injure yourself.

"B-Bakugou! W-What do you think you're doing?"

The said blond turned his gaze to you and his crimson orbs looked directly into your blue ones..

"You need sleep, and I know for a fact you won't be able to sleep because of that dumbass nightmare so you're coming back to my dorm to rest." Bakugou stated simply with an annoyed tone, continuing the route to his dorm room.

You weren't in the mood to argue with the blond, so with a sigh you let him proceed and carry you to his dorm room.

Soon enough Bakugou and yourself reached the blond's dorm room and made your way side, you have visited Bakugou's dorm room on numerous occasions so the surroundings were familiar to you.

"You take the bed and I'll sleep on the floor for the rest of the night" Bakugou instructed to which you responded with a nod and got inside the blond's bed, as Bakugou made himself comfortable on the floor beside you.

Moments passed, you continuously tossed and turned in the bed which you currently lay in but the nightmare plaguing your mind kept you awake. You glanced at the blond who lay on the floor, watching his chest go upwards and downwards as he inhaled and exhaled.

"Bakugou? Are you still awake?"

The said blond sighed and turned his gaze to you.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet, dumbass?" Bakugou asked with a serious tone.

You turned your gaze away from the blond shyly.

"I'm scared..."

Silence.

"Do you think you can lay in the bed with me? It might help me sleep better..."

Bakugou sighed, standing up from his position on the floor and making himself comfortable beside you in bed.

"You're a pain in the ass, do you know that?" Bakugou whispered, wrapping his muscular arms around you to give you a sense of comfort and safety. You nuzzled into Bakugou's embrace and closed your eyes.

"You don't need to be scared, you're safe with me." The blonde added, before you dozed off and entered a peaceful slumber.
