It was now dark out, everyone was done with their room and was now relaxing. Everyone except for Izumi; she felt grimy so she took a well deserved shower. She now wore her pink rabbit onesie.

That night, everyone was sleeping peacefully

That night, everyone was sleeping peacefully. But inside a certain room, soft whimpering were heard. Izumi was having a nightmare again.

(spoiler alert!! If you don't want to be spoiled skip to the end of the italics you've been warned)

-dream/nightmare-

There she was again, on the underground tunnel. It was practically like a maze, but it's always changing, when she turn to the right she ends up on a dead end. People with plague masks were everywhere, they wore coats and their aura were intimidating. Doors lined the hallways, but one room stood out from the others; because cries of help were heard from the door. It belonged to a little girl, Izumi couldn't help but burst into the room. There she saw the most horrifying act. A white haired girl was strapped to a chair, screaming and crying, and just as she was about to help the poor girl; the man with a plague mask used his quirk and killed the girl. It was the first time Izumi saw death, even though it was just a dream, the dream- no, the nightmare was just so vivid. The blood and gore that she just witnessed were too much, 'how could they do that to a little girl?' she shakily thought. She screamed, she screamed on the top of her lungs without noticing. "Oh dont worry little flower, your turn will come." the masked man said, his voice dripping with venom, his eyes glazed over. "N-no..." her heart was beating erratically, she couldnt handle the things she just saw. But everytime she ran, she was met with the same man doing the same thing to the poor girl over and over again. "No... please stop... I'm sorry...  No more.... Please..." by now Izumi was on her knees, clutching her head, begging everything to stop.

"Izu... ing..!!"
"w.. Up!!"
"it.. se!!!"
"Midoriya! Can you hear me?! Wake up!!"

Her eyes shot opened, her mouth agape, gasping for air. She shakily looked around, "Are you alright? You were screaming in your sleep..." Tsunotori asked the frightened girl, she heard her screaming, waking her up. But even as she shook Izumi, she wouldn't wake up. So she did what she thought was best, get their teacher. By the time they arrived, the boys from the second floor were already trying to wake up the screaming teen.

"I'm sorry everyone... I-I'm okay now... Y-you should... P-probably go back to s-sleep..." the boys stared at her for a moment "Are you sure? We can keep you company to you go back to sleep." "We cant leave you after you just had a nightmare. It'll make us look like selfish jerks."

-Izumi's POV-

"Midoriya, we need to talk..." Sekijiro-sensei called to me after I finished washing the dishes. I was still a little down and washing the dishes took my mind away from the nightmare. I walked closer to him, "Yes sensei?" he stared at me then sighed. "Follow me." was all he said before walking towards his office, "We need to talk about what happened last night." I tensed at the mention of the topic. "I know what you're going to say so drop it. I'm not going to force you what kind of nightmare you had but... I need to know. When did this start? Those night terrors doesn't come out just randomly you know." I looked down, my toes suddenly looked interesting. "I won't allow you to train later if you don't tell me. You can trust me Midoriya." I hesitated at first but I took  a deep breath to calm myself. "I-it started two days after I was discharged at the hospital... After the incident... At first I thought it was just a one time thing so... I didn't think too much about it. But then the nightmare came almost everyday."  "How were you able to hide it from your family? Those night terrors--" "I always have someone to sleep with... It's either mom or onii-chan... But it was mostly onii-chan..." "I see... I'll try to see what I can do to help. But I'll need to inform Recovery Girl about this. I can't have my student stressing herself out."

After our small talk, I headed to the courtyard to meditate. I learned from Sceptile that meditating helps the mind, so I tried meditating whenever something's bothering me. I felt someone sit beside me but I didn't open my eyes, both of us stayed in a comfortable silence. "I usually have night terrors when I was a kid. Wanna know how I got rid of them?" Still with my eyes closed, I smiled. "How?" "Well at first I tried thinking of funny things, when that didn't work I thought of bunnies. Happy thoughts." I couldn't help but giggle, I playfully slapped Tito-kun- who was the one beside me- "I didn't think you were a bunny person!" Tito-kun gave me a closed eyed smile. "Well I was actually a cat person, I still am! I'm just starting to see how cute bunnies are just by looking at you." I looked at him with wide eyes. 'so... Tito-kun liked me romantically? The book Kacchan gave me is starting to make sense!' "boop" I was stunned for a few seconds, and within those few seconds Tito-kun stood up with a wide smile. "Constantine was right. Cheering you up and making you smile makes the world brighter."

I noticed that almost everyone has been super careful with me. Earlier when I was about to go to the training room, Tetsutetsu-kun and Rin-kun  asked if I wanted someone to spar with or if I wanted some company. It was kinda weird, but I knew they were only doing this because of what happened last night. I appreciated that they worry about me and my well-being, but I wish they would tone down the babying.
