Just so you know, the following story could make you cry.
Shinso POV:
“Sh-shinso I just… I need you to come get me…. I need you to be here .. please.."
Kaminari is crying over the phone and I am getting my hoodie on and grabbing my cat to bring with me
“I know. I know baby, I’ll be right there as fast as my car will drive me there” I say, already getting in my car.
“I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I just can’t anymore, Shin” Kaminari Hyperventilates.
“I know, just stay on the phone until I get there, you’ll be ok..” I try to say as soothing and calm as possible while still being extremely worried.
“I’m almost there, don’t worry”
Kami calling me late at night crying is not unusual. He keeps getting nightmares or sleep paralysis. He can never describe them to me, or anyone else so I just go over to his house and stay with him until the next morning when he’s ok again. The only time he was able to explain anything was by drawing it out a month ago. What he drew and how he explained it was scary (he didn’t talk much during or after drawing it, but he explained the way it sounded and felt.) It was the most terrifying thing I’d ever seen, but I’m not too unfamiliar with sleep paralysis ‘demons’ myself. I’ve had my share of thinking I was going crazy, and having suicidal thoughts.. But the only difference here is that I didn’t have anyone to talk to, or cuddle with me till I felt better. I arrive at his house and grab my cat, still hearing Kami having a breakdown on the phone.
“I’m here, and coming inside, ok babe?”
“O-ok-” Kami sniffles a little bit, still crying.
I fumble with my keys for a moment getting the one to his house. I unlock the door and go inside, hanging up on the phone and shutting the door behind me.
“Kami?” I ask out loud, putting my cat down.
I hear him loudly sniffle and I go to see him in his room.
“Baby..” I say, walking in his room.
As soon as he sees me, he gets up and quickly latches himself on me. His crying gets harder and I pick him up and put him on his bed, laying down next to him. I hold onto him tightly so that he can feel safe.
“Shh.. It’s ok, I’m here. It can’t get to you now.”
The sobbing slows down to just hyperventilating and hiccups.
“Th-thank -hic- you for b-being h-h-here..” Kaminari says, burying his face in my chest.
“I’m s-sorry you h-have to come here so m-much” He sniffles.
“It’s alright Kami, it’s for your health and that’s important to me.” I say, holding onto him a little less tightly.
He apologizes every time I’m here. He squeezes me tightly and then relaxes completely, still sniffling and taking deep breaths. He looks up at me, in my worried, tired eyes and kisses me on my jawline, since that is where he can reach at the moment. I blush a little and kiss the top of his head, still holding him. I soon hear his breathing even out and I know he is asleep. I feel something come up on the bed, walk over my legs and I see my cat get on top of kaminari and curl up. I reach down and pet him a little.
”Good boy, Ash” I whisper to the cat, knowing he’s trying to help Kami’s mental state as he does with me sometimes.
I slowly fall asleep with Kaminari in my arms.
