Kirishimas P.o.V

I woke to the sound of knocking and opened the door to find a slightly distressed Katsuki shaking.  Immediately I grabbed his arms, pulled him in and shut the door again.  I guided him to the edge of my bed where he sat down.  I hugged him to my chest, still standing between his legs that hung off the edge of the bed, and stroked his hair whispering gently to him until he calmed himself down properly.  Once he'd calmed down he told me how, in his dream, he'd been chained up, like in the sports festival and everyone called him a monster.  Thankfully his nightmares aren't as bad or scary as some of his older ones.

We got under the covers and Katsuki started drifting off again...it's amazing how quickly he can fall asleep when he isn't on his phone or something.  But before he did he looked me in the eyes...I looked back into his and we stayed like that for a moment.  I've noticed, since I found him with the broken mirror incident, that his eyes are brighter again.  In the daytime they aren't half lidded and tired looking like they always used to be.  Now they had the courage and determination...like back when we first got here.  These were the true eyes of the Katsuki Bakugo I know.

When I looked in Eijirous eyes they looked...different...  He looked worried...or troubled by something.  "Whats up with you?"  I asked him.  

"Huh?  Oh um...nothing..." He replied.  Like hell it is. 

 "I'm gonna ask you again.  Whats up? Are you okay?"   I reach over and move his hair from his face.  

"Really its nothing...I'm...fine..."  He smiled.  But it wasn't the smile I would do anything to see.  It was fake and pained and...a lie.  He looked down again, his hair shielding his face from me again.  

"No you're not.  Look at me."  I said reaching and brushing the hair from his face for the second time.  He looked at me again.  "Whatever it is, I can help." 

He looked back in my eyes. "Just thinking 'bout ma' past is all!" And he smiled again, this time with less of the...pain.  I could see he was telling the truth this time.  Just not all of it.

I decided not to pressure him into telling me anything because I didn't want to upset him.  I'll ask him one question at a time, like he did with me.  So we drifted off to sleep.  My nightmares are becoming less frequent.  Now I'll only have two or three a week instead of almost every night.  I'm glad of course but it means that me and Eijiro stay in our own rooms all night...which I'm okay with and all but...I kinda miss him being near me...

Yeah...I miss the idiot.  And I'm not being all gross and sappy!  Its just...no one has ever made me feel this...happy.  But he's here now and that's all that matters.  I'm just going to enjoy our happy little moments like this...

Whilst they last...

I woke up in the morning to feel weight on the rise and fall of my steady breathing and found a sleeping Katsuki resting his arms and head on my chest.  I'd love to wake up to this sight every morning!  But now that his nightmares are lessening our 'sleepovers' are becoming less frequent.  He was sleeping so much better now which is great!  But now I can't really get to sleep so easily without him...stupid I know...but I just REALLY don't want things to go back to the way they were before...umm...before...

"Hmm."  Katsuki mumbled in his state of waking up.  He tilted his head up to look at me before giving a short, "Mornin'."  And slowly raising his body to sit beside me whilst I rose up after him.  We sat for a moment, yawning and rubbing sleep from our eyes. 

I realised now that there's only today and tomorrow left before we go back to school...ugh.

"What ya' wanna' do today then Katsuki?"  I asked beaming at him.  

"Nothing."  He replied simply.  "Absolutely nothing...but...being with you..."  Redness creeped up his neck.  He's so adorable when cold blooded murder isn't the first thing on his mind...

"Film it is then!"  I stated, grabbing my laptop and loading up netflix. 

I let Katsuki pick the film...personally never heard of it before but it was good!  We didn't really talk through most of the film, mainly because I was way to concentrated on what the hell was going on in it  and because I had a hella lot on my mind, until the credits started playing and Katsuki turned to me with a questioning yet cautious look.  I have a feeling he's going to ask me some kind of personal-ish question.

I wanted to know what it was that was getting to him.  He barely spoke throughout the film like he usually would have, and his eyes often drifted away from the screen to stare into space.

"Whats up with you?" I finally spoke turning to him.

"What?  Oh...nothing!"  He flashed another fake smile.  I looked sternly into his eyes again trying to give the hint that I wouldn't take that as an answer and he spoke again.  "It's just what I said I was thinking about last night...ya know...my past and all..."   He trailed off and looked away.

"Yeah, but be more specific what is it about your past thats gotten you so down?"  That got his attention...a little more than I wanted though when he looked me dead in the eyes his own widening in shock and...fear, and every ounce of colour melted down his face and left his body.  His frame physically stiffened and abruptly pulled a little away from me, like I was just suddenly going to snap at him.

"What kind of a question is that?"  He looked away and put on his best fake smile.  He turned to me again and closed his eyes with the biggest fake grin as a single tear slipped down his strained face.  And I wish his answer was as fake as his smile, because it made me regret ever asking.

"Everything."
