Hey everybody this is my first story for these two couples. I tried thinking of a story with these two until it came to me. Touma has been living a risky life for a teenager, but what if one day they all caught up to him. Nightmares can affect people's sleeping, so why not write one where Touma has been having those and have a friend help him through it. If you guys like it tell me about what it was and how I can make it better thanks. Disclaimer: I do not own To Aru Majutsu no Index

It was a beautiful day this week the skies were all blue and clear. It was good sight to say when you wake up especially on a Friday. Too bad a certain high school student his day did not start off so well in fact the past two weeks have been awful for him. Kamijou Touma once again had trouble sleeping. He had been having trouble sleeping all this week and all of last week since he had recurrent nightmares all the time. Each time when he tries to fall asleep he always wakes up cover in sweat and his breathing always became heavy. He decided to not sleep for the last couple of days, so he wouldn't have those scary nightmares. Yeah it was probably not healthy to not get any sleep, but he had no choice his nightmares kept getting worse and worse each night and he hated to admit it but he was scared. Not only that he hasn't been eating as well. He can't remember when was the last time he felt like eating because he hadn't had much of an appetite as of late.

His alarm went off and Touma turned it off immediately. Touma got up and looked at himself in the mirror he noticed that there were bags forming underneath his eyes, but not a lot. He decided to get dressed and started making breakfast for Index. He hoped no one would bother him today because he wanted a day to go nice and smoothly. He finished making breakfast as soon as Index woke up of smell of food.

"Yay Touma is up and early and he made breakfast. I don't think I have seen you wake up this early" Said Index.

"Yeah well my alarm was set up earlier than before, so I couldn't go back to sleep" Said Touma not mentioning his real reason.

"Okay. Oh yeah Touma I was invited to have a sleepover at Komoe-sensei house along with Maika and Himegami, so is it okay if I go?" asked Index.

"Yeah sure go ahead make sure you pack all that you need alright" said Touma.

"Yay! Thanks Touma" exclaimed Index.

Touma smiled at a happy Index. "Well I'm off to school have fun at your sleepover" Touma said and left.

As Touma was walking to school he couldn't help but keep yawning on the way there. There was a few time when he kept trippingand almost fell down and at one point stepped on a dogs tail which chased him around. At last he made it to school and thanks to that chase he was more awake.

He sat down on his desk hoping to get rest before class started. Until his friend Tsuchimikado interrupted him by trying to have a decent conversation with the boy.

"Hey there kami-yan what you've been doing lately" said Tsuchimikado.

"What do you want Tsuchimikado? Is there another magician fiasco going?" said Touma hoping there weren't any problems.

"Well for once in your life you're lucky Kami-yan there is nothing going on and you can just relax and enjoy your weekend" Tsuchimikado informed his friend smiling.

"Wait really? So there is nothing going on?"question Touma for some reassurance.

"Well nothing that I have heard of, but most likely nothing? Don't forget when there is danger involving the magic side you should be prepared" Tsuchimikado told him.

"Alright I got it" Touma said before Komoe-sensei came walking in and began to start her lesson.

Touma had a hard time keeping up with Komoe-sensei lessons as soon as he got lost he decided to stop paying attention. He decided to look out the window thinking about those nightmares he has been having. No matter what's it about it's always the same ending. He has been in several life and death situation and yeah he doesn't show that he has been affected by it. The truth is he is always affected by it and thus it leads to him having nightmares about his death. It creeped him out having nightmares about your death and several scenarios on how you die.

It scared him, but he didn't wanted to admit it if he showed anything wrong with him his friends will worry about him. He didn't wanted to scare them with his problems so he kept it a secret to himself. His days felt longer than before there were times when he almost fell asleep during class, but managed to stay awake.

When school was over he was relieved now that he was going to be by himself for the day and no magic fiasco he can try and see if he can at least get some sleep. On his way back to his apartment he saw a girl with brown short hair and wearing a Tokiwadai middle school uniform getting a drink from the vending machine. Yup that girl was Misaka Mikoto one of the few friends who Touma can trust and being a nice guy decided to greet her.

"Yo biribiri" Touma greeted her like usual.

"It's Misaka Mikoto! Get it through your thick skull already!" Misaka exclaimed hearing that all too well known nickname he always called her sending electricity towards him all too annoyed.

Touma with his fast reflexes negated her attack with his right hand. The electricity didn't affected him, but it might have woken him up a bit.

"Nice to meet you too. So what did you do to get two drinks from this here vending machine? Did you kick it too hard that it spilled two of them?" he asked trying to make conversation.

"Sh-shut up! Why do you care!"

"Just trying to make conversation here"

"Well fine then here idiot since I got two you can have the other" she told him giving him the other drink she got.

"Oh thanks I could use a drink myself" Touma told her, but yawn again.

"Oi are you okay? You keep yawning" she asked him.

"Yeah just been feeling sleepy lately"

"Ah so I'm guessing you're not in a mood to fight huh. Well then Misaka-sensei will spare you for the day" she said proudly.

"Uhm thanks I guess, but I have to go the store and get some groceries they have a sell on eggs. Since Index is going to a sleepover I have the weekend for myself" he said happily.

"I see, hey is it okay if I go with you I got nothing to do and maybe we can spend a little time together" Misaka said blushing madly looking away from him.

"Hmm yeah sure I wouldn't mind some company" Touma told her and yawn.

"Hey what time do you even go to sleep don't tell me your bad luck goes to such length that you don't sleep" wondering how much bad luck he gets.

"Well for once the gods have spared this unfortunate boy and hasn't dealt with that much bad luck for the past two weeks"

"Ah so you hadn't been in trouble lately" she said relief that the idiot hasn't been in any danger.

"Yeah kinda relax- bwagh' Touma couldn't finish his sentence because he tripped and fell face flat.

"Oi idiot watch your steps" she told him offering him her hand.

"Yeah thanks" Touma said accepting her hand to help himself up.

"You know you don't look so good now that I look at you. Are you sure you're okay?" She questioned him.

"Yeah I'm fine" Touma said giving her a reassuring smile.

Misaka was hesitant at first, but chose to leave it. "Fine, but whatever is wrong you can tell me you know" she told him with concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry about me I'll be fine" Touma said with his hands rubbing his eyes.

"You have my number right" Misaka asked him.

"Yeah I have it on my phone. Let me guess if I wanna talk about something you want to be the first one am I right?" Touma questioned her.

"Well it's not like I care for you. Knowing your luck and idiot like you something bad might happen…." Misaka said looking away blushing.

"Thanks I appreciate your concern, but I'm fine" he said lying to her. They both made it to store and got what Touma needed and bought Misaka whatever she wanted since she accompanied him.

"Hey make sure you get some sleep when you get home alright" Misaka informed him taking a bite of her chocolate bar.

"Don't worry I won't run into trouble" Touma said yawning again man that's a lot of yawning for a day.

"I know because I'm going to drop YOU off at your place" she said smiling.

"Wait what no you don't have to-uwah" he fell down again.

"See you fell down several times today" she told him and picked him up and she felt he was more lighter.

That's strange he is lighter too is he not eating as well. What's going on with him? Misaka thought.

"Hey are you not eating as well?" she asked with worry in her voice.

"Yeah of course I am" he said lying again and looking away from her.

Damn it this idiot is lying to me. Why doesn't he tell me what's going on?! It's really getting on my nerves that he's hiding something from me Misaka was thinking.

"Fine can you walk?" she asked him deciding not to pry on him more.

"Of course see" he said regaining his balance.

Misaka was eyeing him suspiciously but let it go.

"Alright" she said unsure and they both proceed walking.

Thank goodness she didn't keep asking questions I don't want her to worry about me Touma thought being more careful.

They both continued walking and they kept talking about school, their day and other interesting things that happened to them. Touma saw his apartments glad he was able to make it back at his place.

"Well this is where I live in these apartments" scratching the back of his head.

"Ahh not bad so you know anyone who lives here" she asked as they both headed up to his room.

"Yeah my next door neighbor is a friend of mines though he is annoying at times" said Touma with irritation in his voice.

"Well here we are" he said getting his keys and opening the door.

"Hm not bad looks comfortable for someone who lives on his own" .

"Yeah thanks for coming with me to get groceries"

"Eh I had nothing better to do for today so might as well be nice to an idiot for once in awhile" she replied snickering.

"Haha very funny. Besides shouldn't you head back to your dorm it's getting late" .

"Yeah I probably should Kuroko texted me earlier and asked me where I was and to come back soon" she said looking through her phone

"Yeah and we all know how crazy she'll get if you told her where you actually at" he said nervously.

She eyed him cautiously and Touma couldn't help but be nervous. She eyed him like she was up to something.

"Uhm Misaka what are you looking at?"

"Oh just wondering since you look exhausted want me to cook you up something before I head out."

"Wait what?! Are you sure I don't to bother you I can cook on my own." Touma told her but was actually thinking of something else I'm not really hungry, but if I tell her that then she'll get more suspicious and find out I haven't been eating.

"Don't worry it's no problem I still have enough time to make you something and head back to my dorm. Alright lets see what you have" grabbing the bags and headed towards the kitchen.

Damn I hope she leaves soon, but yet I feel like I have to tell her what's happening to me, but then again I'll be troubling her I have to keep this to myself Touma kept thinking laying on his bed for once.

"Well I'm going to do my homework so if you need anything just tell me" he said and was given an 'okay' reply.

As soon as he started doing his homework he was able to keep himself busy trying to stay awake. It took half an hour for Misaka to be done on whatever she was making. Though Touma was wondering how he'll be able to eat if he wasn't hungry, but he'll try for her sake.

"Ah I see you made pasta it looks really good" he said when she gave him a plate.

"I hope it taste good as much as it looks" she told him looking away blushing.

"Don't worry about it you looked like you worked very hard to make it so I'll appreciate it no matter how bad it taste" he said sheepishly.

"Hey was that supposed to be an insult!" she told him electricity sparking on her forehead.

"Ah please don't use your electricity in here! I can't afford to stay here in this heat of the room." he replied pleadingly.

As soon as Touma said that Misaka's phone range she answered and left Touma in the living room whoever was calling her probably told her to go somewhere because she was getting her stuff to leave.

"Hey sorry I have to go Kuroko keeps bugging me to come back to the dorm before curfew or else the supervisor will twist our heads….. Literally" she told him with fear on her face.

"Ah I see it's okay don't worry I'll make sure I'll eat your cooking" he told her

"Tch you better! Anyway see you later" she told him heading towards the, but before she left "hey if anything is troubling you and you wanna talk about it give me a call alright" and she took off not turning to him.

Touma now alone was surprised on what she said just sighed thank goodness she left or else I had to force feed myself he thought. It did looked good but Touma's stomach wasn't really much asking for food right now, so he decided to wrap up his food for later. He couldn't help, but appreciate Misaka's concern for him he'll probably think about it.

"Such a waste of good food" he said sadly as he was curious to see how Misaka's food tasted like.

As soon as he put away his food he got started on his homework. He worked for hours and when he looked at the clock it was almost midnight and his body really wasn't keeping up. "Maybe I should try and sleep maybe those nightmares had disappeared" he told himself hoping he won't get a nightmare again. He changed into some comfortable clothing turned off the lights and slept on his bad. Please no more nightmares he thought. Boy was he wrong.

He kept running and running away from something or someone he didn't know what it was, but he wanted to get away from it. He didn't care how tired he was and how painful his legs are getting he just wanted to get away. For once he isn't putting up a brave facade and for once showing what he truly felt. Fear. Fear from being captured and dying. he tried to look for someone anybody to help him, but he didn't know where.

He kept running through some woods he didn't recognize until he tripped over and fell down. He tried to get up, but couldn't because someone had grabbed his leg and dragged him to who knows where. He was terrified what might happen to him. He wanted to run away from all of this he didn't wanted to know what they have store for him.

"No please let me go! Who are you what do you want from me? Please don't do anything to me please!" pleading desperately.

The shadow figure didn't respond or looked at him until they were both in an isolated place with other shadow figures. Touma was getting tied up to something so he couldn't moved he tried yelling for help. Nothing. He tried to get himself free. Nothing. The shadow took out a blade and another shadow took out a whip and with fear in Touma's eyes he tried to yell for help one last time. Nothing. The next thing he saw was the blade thrusting towards him. There was a loud screamed piercing through the woods and birds flying away from the forest.

"Ahh!" he woke up breathing heavily and sweat covering his face and body. He couldn't stop shaking. He was too scared. He looked at his hands they kept trembling just like his entire body. Damn it stop shaking he thought and now he felt tears falling from his eyes. "Why am I crying damn it!?" he said to himself wiping them away. He looked at the clock it was 1am in the morning.

He needed someone right now he was too scared being alone. He needed someone to talk about his nightmare. As soon as he thought of that his hand reached the phone and started to look for someone until a name caught his eyes. He was debating whether to call her or not. He didn't wanted to worry her what will she think of him when he will tell her how he was feeling? What's been going on with him? Will she even be up this late? Hell will she wake up for him this late?

You can't do this Kamijou you'll worry her he thought and he noticed he was still shaking and the tears wouldn't stop falling. He kept having a battle in his own head whether he should throw away his pride and ask for help. I'll throw away my pride just this time he said to himself and pressed the call button. The phone was ringing he waited around and it still kept ringing. "Damn it I knew it she is-" "Hello" he heard someone say like they just woke up.

he didn't know what to say unsure what he should tell her. "Mi-Mi-Misaka" he told her cursing himself for stuttering.

He guessed she knew who it was because a few second later he heard a gasp and shuffling noises like she went somewhere more private. "What the hell? Do you know what time it is right now?" she questioned him in a harsh whisper tone.

"I-I-I…" he tried to think of what to say, but couldn't say the words he was too scared what she will think of him.

Misaka probably felt something was wrong she knew because he was acting different. She was worried and asked "Hey are you okay? What's the matter?"

"N-n-n-nightmare" he replied with a shaky voice wiping the tears away.

"Nightmare? Are you okay? How are you feeling?" she asked worried.

"Help. Please can you help me?" he asked he didn't know why those words keep coming out of his mouth. He sounded like a cry baby and he hate how he sounded like.

Misaka was surprised at his sudden request, but nonetheless replied "Yeah of course anything".

Touma didn't know what it was that made him say it, but asked her "Can you come over I need someone here I need someone to talk to about my problems."

Misaka was shocked there was silence on the other side of the line for a few seconds, so Touma probably took that as a no. "Sorry it was a selfish request of me I know you'll get in trouble with the dorm supervisor and Kuroko there so you can-" "I'll be there in a few minutes don't worry I can sneak out just wait for me alright" she told him. Touma was shocked, but smiled thankful for having a friend like her "thank you" he told her. Just like that Misaka was ready to sneak off and Touma will be waiting for her.

So how was it? I'll appreciate if you guys left me some reviews and tell me what you think. If there is anything you guys want to expect tell me and I'll think about it. It might be awhile until I post the next chapter so enjoy this one for now.
