"It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyways."
...

Hinata woke up sweating and panting, and he glanced at where his hands were shaking.

When did he sit up?

He looked around at the other members, silently praying he hadn't woken any of them up.

Of course this had to happen in the middle of training camp.

The anxiety left over from the nightmare was overwhelming, hardly calmed by the stillness in the room.

He shifted, getting ready to lay back down, when a gentle nudge pressed into his back.

Hinata jumped, spinning around and tangling in his blanket. He couldn't process the figure in front of him, squeezing his eyes shut and trying to take deep breaths.

Everything was fine.

He was safe.

He-

"Hey idiot, it's just me." A familiar voice filled his ears and it felt like he was finally taking in air. "What's up with you?"

Hinata opened his eyes to find Kageyama sitting in front of him. He rubbed his eyes, grimacing slightly when it came away wet.

Of course he was crying.

"It's nothing." Hinata ignored the shake in his voice, shaking his head. "I'm fine."

"You're a liar." Kageyama said it very matter-of-factly, not even looking at the elder as he worked on untangling the blanket where it was wrapped around his legs.

They sat in silence for a moment, until the blanket lay flat and Hinata's breathing had finally started to even out.

Hinata really didn't want to be alone.

If he just stayed until he fell asleep...

"You can go back to sleep." He stared at his feet, biting his lip and still trying to calm his heart.

He should at least say thank you.

Kageyama shrugged and laid down without looking at the elder, rolling so he faced away from him.

Hinata stared for a moment with wide eyes, mouth trying to form the question that was running through his mind.

Was he really going to stay?

"If you don't hurry up, I'm leaving."

Hinata jumped at the sudden grumpiness in the younger's voice and scrambled to lay down next to him.

He rolled over and scooted over so their backs were pressed together and laid there in silence.

Slowly, his heart rate slowed and sleepiness started to take over as the electric anxiety left him.

"Thank you," he mumbled, half asleep.

For a moment, he thought Kageyama was already asleep but then the younger shifted against him and his voice filled the air around them, soft with sleep.

"It's okay. I couldn't sleep anyways."

Hinata wanted to ask but didn't, simply closing his eyes in contentment.

He didn't know why Kageyama did it, but he was grateful.
