Work Text:

Midoriya has always had problems with sleeping. But her insomnia is different to the type most people might be aware of; she can fall asleep just fine, but she always wakes up early, and then finds herself unable to get back to sleep. And as she finds laying around in bed painfully boring, Midoriya just tends to get up, get dressed and head off to do something hours before most people are awake.

Since moving into the dorms at UA, this habit hasn’t changed. Midoriya is always the first into the common room each morning, sat on the best seat to view the TV and doing her homework. Getting up early, as frustrating as it is to not be able to sleep, is actually quite nice, because everything is so quiet and peaceful early in the morning, not like a few hours later when her classmates make a racket getting up, shattering the peace.

As this would be the perfect time to have some time to themselves, Uraraka sometimes gets up early to spend time with her girlfriend. Today is one of those mornings.

“Hey, Deku,” Uraraka whispers, still half asleep as she wanders into the common room.

Midoriya smiles, stands up and gives Uraraka a hug. “Morning, Ochako. You look really tired.”

“I am. But… well, I’m so worried about our English test that I couldn’t get back to sleep.”

Uraraka breaks the hug, reaching up to give Midoriya a kiss.

“You don’t need to worry,” Midoriya says, kissing her back. “You’ll be fine.”

“I know,” Uraraka says, sighing. “It’s just…”

“No, I get it. Being worried doesn’t ever really make sense, does it?” She smiles, glad when Uraraka smiles too. “Hey, wanna do some last minute studying?”

Uraraka’s smile gets bigger and she hugs Midoriya. “Great idea, Deku.”
