" most days i wake up with a pit in my chest

  there are thoughts that i can't put to rest

  there's a worry i can't place "

Bakugou shot up in bed, his eyes frantically looking around the dark bedoom, seeing nothing but the belongings that were ghosted by moonlighthis chest heaved and his heart pounded against his rib cage, hurting with every breath. the nightmares, it seemed, were never going to end. Bakugou Katsuki was a strong boy by all means, but he always struggled to contain the negative thoughts that lurked behind every cornerhis upbringing as a hero led to so many scars- physically and emotionally even now, as he lived a more peaceful life in the dorms, he was still brought up by these night terrors multiple times a week.

" most nights, i am restless and quiet won't come

  so i lay there and wait for the sun

  there's a trouble that won't show its face "

the only thing that ever seemed to work was throwing any dignity he had out of the window and trotting down to (y/n)'s dorm and crawling into bed with her. abnormal for this normally overprotective personality, in moments like these, he took comfort in the fact that she left her room unlocked every night in preparation for this exact reason. these nightmares got worse as they went on, and Bakugou found himself in a rather submissive position he wouldn't be caught dead like this in public, or even around his other classmates, but when he crawled into (y/n)'s dorm, just as the clock hit three am, he found himself taking comfort in her presence

" you came out of nowhere and you cut through all the noise

  i make sense of the madness when i listen to your voice "

legs intertwined like rope, hands grasping desperately to whatever would holdBakugou Katsuki was utter putty in his love's hands in moments like thisthe relief that she gave him was absolutely, irrevocably undeniable he never found himself needing anything through life- his main goal was to be needed when he found himself entangled in sheets and limbs nearly every morning, though, her scent like a drug upon his senses, he began to think that it might not be too bad to need

" darling only you can ease my mind

  help me leave these lonely thoughts behind

  when they pull me under and i can feel my sanity start to unwind...

  darling only you can ease my mind. "
