You were staying the night at Saiki's, something you seemed to be doing often these days. His mother was more than okay with it (you loved her just as much as Saiki, honestly) so you found yourself here, on a Sunday night, watching the sweets special on TV at 11 pm. The show was just coming to an end, which meant it was around time to go to sleep as the both of you had school tomorrow.
Saiki slept on a single bed, but since the very first night you'd stayed over he'd arranged another bed for you a bedside table from his own. You understood, of course, he had always been a bit sensitive to touch and you didn't want to cross any barriers. You were happy enough to date him at all.
"You have your blanket and stuff?" he said absentmindedly, making his bed.
"Yep, got it all." You had a little lion plushie as well that your propped up on your bed. In other circumstances you would've minded terrible sleeping with a plushie in front of someone else- but this was Saiki, and you were sure he didn't mind Imani at all.
"Cool. Goodnight then, y/n."
You know his face went a shade of red, because he immediately turned his back on you and scrunched his body up. You loved calling him nicknames, it's one of the few things that flustered him, mostly because you didn't think about it beforehand, it just slipped out.
"No, I'm not blushing." He must've heard you thinking. Still, his voice was small, so it wasn't very convincing. "I said I'm not!"
"Sure, Saiki. Sleep well.â
He did not sleep well at all.
You knew something was wrong when you woke up to steadily increasing heat. You suddenly felt the immense urge to throw off your blanket, and looked at Saiki reflexively. He was sitting straight up on his bed, gazing into nothingness.
You immediately got up and sat by his leg, placing a tentative hand on him. "Sweetheart? You okay?"
The touch seemed to startle him back to his senses. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm good."
"You look a little shaken up. Here, wait." You hurried to the kitchen and brought him a glass of water. "Drink up."
"I could've done that myself, you know." Still, he put the glass to his lips and finished it in one fell swoop.
"No, it's okay. I just had a little nightmare."
Saiki didn't get nightmares often. There was little to be afraid of when you're ageless and immortal, so it had to be something real scary.
"Nightmares are bad. Here, cool down. You ended up heating the entire room."
"Oh, my bad." He quickly lowered the temperature.
"Go on, tell me. It's okay, I won't judge you. It can be a bunch of cockroaches for all I care. Once I had a nightmare that a Mickey Mouse hot air balloon was carrying me away from earth all the way into space, you know? It was still scary."
"It wasn't really anything like that." He tilted his head slightly, his hair flopping into his eyes, and you took a quick second to appreciate how beautiful his purple eyes looked in the dim light. "It was about... well, my friends."
"Oh? What about them?" You shifted yourself a bit closer to him and hesitantly reached for his hand. You looked at him questioningly, a bit nervous, but he didn't pull his hand away. You couldn't help but smile as you slipped yours in it.
"It was like... this is embarrassing, God. I dreamed that the Dark Reunion finally got to us- Kaidou must've gotten to me, damn it- but I didn't have any powers? And I just... sort of, watched... as they... they were just huge, looming shadows, and they sort of swallowed them all up."
Crap. That was terrifying. You would've been gasping for breath by now. "Who was there?" you asked softly.
"Kaidou, Nendo, and Aren, I think. Chiyo, Mikoto, Hairo, even Teruhashi. I don't really like Teruhashi but I felt really bad hearing her scream in fear. That's all I remember."
"That sounds terrifying, love. Here, breathe."
"I am breathing. And I won't really lose my powers. I know that."
"Yes, but it's okay to be scared."
He really did look alarmed, despite his casual words. His eyes were wide and his voice was dazed. The dream must've been really vivid.
"Should I spend tonight with you?"
It came out before you could think about it- you just couldn't bear seeing Saiki this shaken up and leaving him to sleep alone after that.
"Just... I don't know. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. Maybe, just for tonight, I could sleep here? With you? You know. Hold your hand and stuff. So you won't get nightmares again. Maybe. I don't know. Okay, maybe it was a stupid id-"
His hand tightened just the slightest around yours but it felt like he'd squeezed it pretty hard. You almost winced. Hand-holding could get a little complicated. You looked up at his beautiful amethyst eyes, almost black. He didn't want to say it with his own mouth, but you knew he meant "Okay."
You tried your hardest to keep the stupid soft smile off your face as he moved over a bit, leaving half the bed empty. He was a bit on the skinnier side, after all.
His arm was outstretched so you could use it as a sort of pillow.
"Maybe you should be the little spoon. You know, I don't want you to accidentally crush me in your arms or anything," you added hastily.
He hesitated a bit, then sighed. "Yeah. Okay. C'mere."
He shifted towards the outside of the bed, leaving the wall side empty. You quickly crawled up in the space, shoving him a little but you doubt he noticed.
"This is a bit strange," he said softly.
"Yeah. But it's okay, right? It's nice."
"I feel a bit wonky. Maybe you could, like..." He took your arm and put it under his head so you both could sleep comfortably. "That okay?"
You couldn't keep the grin off your face this time. "Yeah. Yeah, it's nice."
You ended up snaking a tentative arm over his torso until you could feel his hand on the other side, which you took nervously, waiting for some sort of reaction. His body relaxed against yours and he gently stroked your hand instead of holding it (which was just as well, it was still a bit sore from before) and you relaxed as well.
"Sleep well, and dream of me this time, okay love?" you whispered in his ears.
You cautiously nuzzled yourself into his neck just a bit and closed your eyes, your hand still lingering on his and hoping he doesn't have any more bad dreams. If he did you were ready to grab a chainsaw and-
"Okay, you're the one planting violent images in my brain now," Saiki chuckled, a sound that made butterflies flutter in your stomach- it was just so rare. "Go to sleep as well."
"Goodnight," he held his breath. "...love."
