A/N: Hey sorry for the slow updates I recently got a job and had to worry about auditions don’t worry I’m alive! Heres a little fluff as redemption for me being gone

Being a demigod meant that I got bad nightmares. Being the child of the god of prophecy didn’t help and neither did the fact that I had just been rescued from a very traumatic experience. It started out fine with me walking around the dorms clearing my head then I was grabbed from out of nowhere. I tried to scream for Kirishima but nothing came out. I thrashed yelling for any kind of help, but whoever was holding me was strong and I couldn’t break their grasp. Then my dream changed. I was on a lonely charred battlefield looking in the distance. I could see my siblings and friends fighting for their lives, but I couldn’t move and help them. I just sat there and watched as slowly everyone I knew died in battle. As I was finally able to move I saw Annabeth, Percy, Will, Kirishima, Todoroki, and Bakugou lying there dead. The scene changed again monsters were rampaging the UA grounds and my teachers could do nothing to stop it leaving me to face them alone. I was hit and flown back. I tumbled around and shook like Link when he got hit. I woke up in tears and fear clinging onto the closest thing next to me which was Kirishima?!
“Hey it's ok you’re safe nothing can hurt you I’ve got you” Kirishima said scooping me up in his arms and sitting on my bed. 
“H-how’d you know?” I asked, my voice shaking with fear and terror. 
“You were calling my name and I came to help find you having a nightmare” He said as I drew myself closer to him hiding my face in his neck and him holding onto me making sure I felt secure. “You’re shaking pretty bad, do you want to talk about it?” He asked. I nodded, usually my friends at camp know my nightmares and how bad they can get and they don’t force me to talk. I took in a deep breath.
“It started out with someone trying to kidnap me and I couldn’t escape. I was yelling for help, but nothing came out of my mouth” I started. 
“Was there more?” he asked. I nodded. 
“Next  I was watching my friends and family battle for their lives and I couldn’t help them slowly. Every one of them died and I couldn’t save them even though I would have given my life to save them,” I continued.
“Who were the main ones?”
“You, Percy, Annabeth, Will, Todoroki, and Bakugou” I replied. “I couldn’t bear to lose any of you when I know I could have helped you out. The last part was me fighting mythological monsters all alone then I got hurt and woke up” I finished. “Perks of being me, you get bad nightmares all the time”
“Really why didn’t you tell anyone when we moved into the dorms?”
“I didn’t want to worry anyone anymore than they already were” 
“Tell you what, I'll stay here till you fall asleep so we can play Zelda together tomorrow ok?”
“Ok” I had stopped crying and shaking and Kirishima sat on my bed. I laid my head on his chest and fell asleep peacefully feeling safe in his grasp. I knew no one could hurt me now that he was here with me.
