Izuku was back in this place again.

This dreadful dreadful place, he knows it's a dream.

But that doesn't make it any easier, especially when it happens in the real word too.

'I am sorry Izuku, I am so sorry.'

'You quirkless piece of shit!'

'You should give up.'

'DIE!'

'Why are you here, Deku?'

'Why are you still here, Deku?'

'Who needs you anyways?'

'No one will miss you, so just go away already.'

'Hahaha Quirkless Deku is back again.'

'Why did you come back?'

'Disappear.'

'I am sorry Izuku, I am so sorry.'

'It's my fault, It's all my fault. I am so sorry Izuku.'

*GASP*

"Stop It!" Izuku shouts as he wakes up.

He looks at the alarm clock, It's 3:00 AM. "Great, now I'll be half asleep all day." Izuku gets up from the bed while prying Himiko's hands away from his torso. He gently lefts her head from his shoulder and places it on the pillow. He leaves his room to fetch a glass of water from the kitchen, Izuku pours himself a glass of water and gets lost in his thought as he places the water jug back on the table.

He hears footsteps from his room, heading downstairs and towards him. He sees Himiko walking up to him in her half asleep groggy state.

"Zuzuuuu" She mumbles she she wraps her arms around his torso."What happened Zuzu?" She asks sleepily.

"Nightmares." Izuku says pensively.

"Hmmm." Himiko says,probably too sleepy to have a normal conversation.

Izuku smirks as he thinks of how much of a heavy sleeper she usually is, Himiko is not a morning person. Never let her cheerful personality fool you, she gets through all her morning activities half asleep. She is too sleepy to know what is happening around her during those time.

'She is also the cutest then.' He thinks with a smile. 'Like a sleepy kitten, cuddling her mama.'

"Zuzuuu" She says sleepily.

"Hmm?" Izuku asks.

"Come to sleep." Himiko says softly, its barely audible.

"Why? Nightmares?" Izuku asks.

Himiko also has had nightmares when she sleeps. She can't sleep alone, while her therapist did say she needs to try and start sleeping alone, Izuku didn't let her. The bags that formed under eyes, the scratches on her hands she did to herself in her sleep, the screams that could be heard every other night, all affirmed his decision further.

"No." She said in a sleepy voice.

"Then?"

"I miss you."

"I was gone only for a second Koko." Izuku knows there is no point poking fun at a sleepy Himiko but that doesn't mean it's not fun.

"Doesn't matter, I still miss you." Himiko seemed quite annoyed when she said that, as if she stated some universal fact that he should have been privy to already.

"We will become heroes when we grow up Koko, what will you do if I was...sent far away?" Izuku knows what he is actually implying when he says that and he knows that Himiko is probably not conscious enough to understand that but he couldn't stop himself from asking.

'No one will miss you Deku. Die.'

"I'll follow you, no matter where you go. Now let's goooooo." She is too annoyed now and may end up waking up if he pushes this any further.

Izuku picks Himiko up in a princess carry.

"Yeah, let's go." Izuku's eyes are overshadowed by his unkempt fluffy hair but one could see the faint smile forming on his lips.

He goes to his room with Himiko in his arms.

Himiko fell asleep even before he reached his room.
