Rin's P.O.V

I woke up and felt someone's arms around me. I turned my head and saw Yukio's hair. What the hell happened last night? I tried to get up, but he had strongest grasp on me. Or maybe I was weak because of how little sleep I've been getting. I just laid there trying to know what to do. Should I lay here until he wakes up, or should I wake him up? I decided to wake him up. I shook one of his arms and told him to wake up. He did wake up after a little bit.

"Could you let me go, please?" I asked. He nodded and let go of me. We both sat up. "Why were you sleeping with me?"

"I had a feeling something was wrong. So, I came to your house and saw you sleeping. But after a little bit you started to shake, sweat, and make little noises. I knew you were having a nightmare. I laid down beside you and calmed you down. And I stayed here with you for incase of another nightmare."

"Okay, well thanks for helping me. You're probably hungry. I'll go make you some breakfast. It can be like old times." I said as I put on a smile and got up. After I got one foot on the floor, he grabbed my arm.

"No, we need to talk."

"Yokio..."

"Sit back down." I sighed. There isn't really anyway to talk him out of it. I sat back down beside him. "Do you keep yourself awake because of the nightmares?"

"It's one of the reasons." I replied.

"What are the other reasons?"

"I keep myself awake because of how much work I give myself. And at other times I just can't sleep."

"You can't keep having a lack of sleep or working yourself so much, Rin."

"I know but it just.... Never mind."

"It just what?"

"It just keeps my mind off that night and bad things that have happened and I did in my life."

"What bad things have you done in your life? I know you got into fights a lot as kid but..."

"It's a personal thing that happened about 16 years ago, but I'm still guilty about it."

"Have you tried just moving on and forgetting about it?"

"I did but it's not that easy for me to move on."

"Would talking to me about it help?"

"No, I already tired to talk to someone about it. And I still didn't feel better. They only got fragments of what I did. And I don't want my little brother to look down at me for something I did."

"I could of looked down at you for getting into fights all the time."

"I know that but what I did wasn't another fight."

"Okay."

"Do you want breakfast?"

"No, I want you to get more sleep. You're still tired. I can tell."

"Yokio, I have things I need to do today."

"Like what? Is the Knights of the true cross calling back their Paladin, to do work?" When did he get so sassy?

"No. I do have to clean up the house."

"So, you have chores to do. Something I can do, while you sleep."

"I guess."

"Then go back to sleep and get fully rested. I can take care of things. Or I can just give you a sleeping pill."

"Alright, alright. I'll sleep." I said before I laid down and got under the blanket. He got his glasses and put them on before standing up. Then I started laughing.

"What are you laughing about?" He asked.

"Because you used to nag me about how I was sleeping to much. And now you're nagging me to go sleep."

He chuckled before saying,"I guess you're right."

I fell back asleep after awhile. It was actually peaceful for once.
