The building was on fire. You searched frantically for Tadashi. Finally you saw him, a silhouette against the roaring red flames. "Tadashi!" you screamed, running towards him. Your throat burned from smoke and ashes, but you didn't care. Tears welled in your eyes when you sprinted towards Tadashi. He gave you a quick glance as you neared, then shook his head. To your horror, he turned and ran into the burning building.

"Tadashi!" you scream again as the building explodes.

Your eyes flew open to see moonlight filtering clearly through the window. You were drenched in sweat and your fingers were clawing at the sheets. Sitting up, you sighed. It was nothing but a nightmare. You were in the safety of the Hamada house, where the air was cool. You coughed, remembering the hot, thick air of the fire.

Glancing over, you saw Tadashi's bed. A bundle of messy black hair was sticking out from the blankets. Smiling, you reassured yourself that Tadashi was safe. But you were still trembling.

You swung your legs out of the bed, and immediately your toes touched the cold wood floor. Quietly you crept over to Tadashi. You were about to reach out and wake him up, but then told yourself he needed the sleep after a hard day at SFIT. He couldn't be bothered by some silly dream.

Disappointed, you were about to turn back to your own bed when suddenly Tadashi rolled over and cracked open his eyes. He jumped at the sight of you looming over him. "(Y/N)?" he asked, sitting up. 

"Yeah, it's me," you said meekly. "Sorry for waking you up."

"No, it's fine." He rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong?" He eyed your messy (H/L) (H/C) hair and scared eyes.

"It was just a stupid nightmare," you said. 

Tadashi gently pulled on your arm, making you sit down on the bed. "What was it about?" he asked softly.

Swallowing, you retold the story of how Tadashi wandered straight into the burning building. The whole time, Tadashi nodded seriously and listened. 

"Do you want to sleep with me so you won't be afraid?" he invited after you finished telling him the story. For a second you thought he was joking, but his eyes were full of genuine concern. 

"Okay," you finally said. "Thanks." 

Tadashi moved over and lifted the sheets, and you climbed in next to him. Once you were safely nestled in the warm blanket beside him, he wrapped his arms around you. "Everything's okay," he said quietly, brushing your hair with his fingers.

The smooth pulling at your hair made your eyelids heavy, and soon you were asleep.
