Shoto had been trying to sleep. But that was proving difficult with you tossing and turning beside him, seemingly having a nightmare. Maybe it was the fact he was worried about you, or the constant movement bothering him - either way, he couldn't sleep.

He wasn't sure what to do either. Did he ignore it? Did he wake you up? What if waking you up upset you? He didn't want to make it worse, and besides - he doesn't exactly know how to comfort someone. But, if it's you - he supposes he can figure it out. He loves you, after-all, you're worth learning for. Plus, what kind of hero doesn't know how to comfort someone when they're troubled. Heroes are meant to alleviate burdens, aren't they?

Sighing, he sat up - watching you with a soft frown.. his two-toned gaze somnolent. He knew he needed to go about this as gently as possible, he didn't want to frighten you even more.. or make you uncomfortable. He pondered his actions for a few moments, his eyes drifting to find the electric clock in the room. 1:23AM, it read. It's late, you have school tomorrow. It's important you both get a good night's sleep, so he needs to calm you down as quickly as possible.. and ensure you both fall asleep once more.

Taking a deep breath, he gently reached his hand and placed it on your tossing and turning form.. halting your movements. Carefully, he shook you awake - trying his best not to be rough with you.. he kept his touch incredibly soft. "..{{user}}, wake up." He muttered - his voice a faint but monotone murmur. When you finally began to stir, your eyes trailing to him and your heartrate higher, he spoke once more.

"You were having a bad-dream." He calmly stated, lying back down next to you - staring up at the ceiling. He considered his next words. "Come here, you're fine." He whispered, gently pulling you to rest your head on his chest. His one hand rubbing your back and tracing circles gently, his other running through your hair in attempt to soothe your nerves and coax you into calming.
