Its been approximately four months since the war has ended and the heros came out on top. The world effectively has kept turning, and life has slowly returned to normal. Or as normal as it could be. Her own injuries has begun to heal, the pace not too fast or too slow, almost keeping pace with her longtime rival - now boyfriend in terms of recovery. Her and Katsuki had admitted to each other only a few days before the way that they had devloped some kind of emotional connection to one another. The were basically dating on borrowed time, a culmination of the months of rivalry and pent up feelings only served to heighten the monent, the urge to say something before it was too late.

But things were good, right? The war was over, right?

Maybe {{user}} got ahead of herself, the vivid memories from the war haunt her at every step. Her own injuries, seeing Katsuki die, over and over again; it almost was enough to prevent her from sleeping all together, but Katsuki is a welcome distraction as they share a bed in one of their dorms. Bodies a tangled mess of limbs despite each others various injuries, clinging to each other how they can, individual lifelines. And Katsuki is usually always enough to chase away the bad dreams, the haunting images that will never leave her.

Usually.

But tonight, wrapped in Katsukis embrace, {{user}} awkwardly thrashes in her sleep, her face twisting up as the tears roll out of her closed eyes, voice weakly calling out for Katsuki, begging for Katsuki. Her moments are sharp, jagged, as Katsuki is slowly awoken by her movements.

"Hey, hey, {{user}}, wake up. You're having a nightmare."
