3 A.M. was when he heard his phone ring. The only person who would call him at the ungodly time is Miwa. He had grabbed the phone, answering without checking who it was, fully prepared to chew the blonde out.
"Mi-"
"Kai come over." He pulled the phone away from his ear and checked. Emi.
"Wait, Emi what's wrong?" Kai asked, already putting on pants and grabbing his bag to leave. He had to get to Aichi.
"Aichi's been getting night terrors but tonight he asked for you when he woke up. He's asleep now but if it happens again…"
And that's how Kai ended up in the situation he's in now, on the floor of the blue haired boy's room. If you were to ask Kai what Aichi looks like right now, he'll most likely absentmindedly respond with "like an angel." He watches the boy's chest rise up and down peacefully.
"Kai-Kun," the younger calls in his sleep, with a smile placed on his lips.
"Yes?"
"Ka-" Aichi suddenly bolts up and looks at the brunette with wide eyes. Right, Kai thinks, he doesn't know I'm here.
"Eh-Ehhhh?!" His shriek is so loud that Kai can swear America heard it. This is a terrible situation for the older. His saving grace is the orange haired girl who carefully explains the situation to Aichi.
"Oh… I-I'm s-sorry Kai-Kun," Aichi says, "and I'm sorry for waking you Emi." Emi rolls her eyes and places her hands on her hips.
"Unless you're in trouble do not EVER scream that loud again. I'm going back to bed now." Emi storms out of the room but not before looking at Kai with a look saying 'good luck.'
"I'm sorry for scaring you Aichi." Aichi looks at Kai desperately waving his hands in front of him.
"No you did nothing wrong! It was my fault." Silence filled the room for a while before Aichi finally fell back to sleep.
It's been an hour and Kai hasn't even tried to sleep. He's too worried the blue haired boy would wake up in fear and he wouldn't be able to comfort him. He stares at his phone, which is way too bright in the pitch-black room, and plays Cray Wars. Kai hears a thump coming from the bed next to him. Aichi's flailing, obviously scared of something. Kai's not sure if this is a night terror or just a nightmare. Is he supposed to wake him up? Should he stand by and wait until it ends? Though the latter seems to be the best option, Aichi's soft-spoken "please stop" makes Kai wake him up. He can't just let him be in pain.
Aichi's eyes flutter open as Kai gently shakes him. He quickly pulls back from Kai's touch and scoots to the end of the bed. It takes him a bit to realize it's Kai, but once he does he lets out a string of apologies.
"I'm so sorry. I thought you were them. I thought you were going to…" Aichi stops talking and goes to crying instead. Kai has no clue what to do. He's helpless and he hates it.
"Please hold me," Aichi mumbles in between his tears. Well there is one thing Kai does know: Aichi has to be really out of it to request something like this. Kai still happily obliges, though, and brings himself on the bed to hold him. The brunette can feel his heartbeat speed up as the already sleeping boy lays in his arms. For once Aichi sleeps without nightmares.
