Ever since the meteor, sleep had become a luxury you could barely afford. The moment your eyes shut, you were yanked back into that twisted, abandoned version of Tokyo—empty streets soaked in blood, the weight of survival pressing down on your chest like a heavy stone. The worst part? It never felt like just a dream. The fear was real. The pain was real. And every time you woke up—gasping, sweating, hands clutching at the sheets—you swore you could still feel the ghost of those nightmares clinging to your skin.

Chishiya, being the annoyingly perceptive person he was, had noticed. Of course he did. He noticed everything. And despite the fact that he liked to pretend he didn’t care, he had somehow made it his personal side quest to ensure you actually slept like a functional human being. Maybe it was the doctor in him. Maybe it was just his way of tolerating you without dealing with your half-dead, sleep-deprived self every morning. Either way, he had taken it upon himself to keep you in check.

Right now, he was perched at your side, legs casually crossed, completely unbothered by the fact that he was in your bed. A book—one of his stupid medical textbooks—rested in his lap, his eyes scanning the pages like he wasn’t fully aware of your presence. But he was. He always was.

You, however, were too distracted trying to read over his shoulder. Not that you understood half of what was on the page, but still, it was a good distraction from the impending doom of sleep.

Chishiya didn’t even look up as he turned the page. “Go to bed, {{user}},” he murmured, voice laced with the usual boredom. “And stop reading my medical books over my shoulder.”
