There comes a time in any Neo's night where she randomly feels very inspired to write something, and so she will, regardless of what time it is. (Self-serving bean in this household) @whiskeysmulti

Haru woke up in a cold sweat, bolting upright in bed. She checks the time to see that it’s 1am. Waking up her phone, she thumbs across the screen navigating to where she wanted to go.
At this hour, there was a high chance he was still awake. It was usually a tossup whether Haru would’ve been in bed by this hour. Mostly depended on if she was working on something or studying for exams.
Otherwise, she kept to a regular sleep schedule. You know how it is, beauty sleep.
Unluckily for her, a nightmare decided to visit her tonight, and she didn’t want to fall back asleep just yet. Over the years, the Vongola has been through a lot and she has witnessed a good chunk of the happenings that she’s sure the guys would’ve preferred her and Kyoko not be exposed to.
She understood the reasoning for it, and she could sympathize with it, but she didn’t want to be like Tsuna’s mother. Blissfully unaware of the dangers your son and husband face until one day—it’ll be too late.
Sometimes, she had nightmares of some past events, and other times, she had nightmares of what could happen in the future if the guys aren’t being careful.
Whenever she has these nightmares she can’t go back to sleep, so she often resorts to studying or working on a costume project through the night. She impatiently waits for a reasonable hour to hit and then she either sends messages out to her friends to ensure they’re okay (usually a good morning text) or she goes out to make impromptu home visits.
At this hour, there was maybe an 80% chance he was still awake. There is that 20% chance that he is asleep though…
<Are you awake?>
On second thought, that’s a stupid question. If he replies, then the answer is obvious. She deletes it.
<Can we talk?>
Does that… somehow sound ominous at all? Would it sound like she was angry about something, and she was keystrokes away from telling him off? Delete delete.
<I can’t sleep, want to chat?>
Too weird. Maybe even a smidge suspicious. This is harder than she thought. Would it be more natural if she made it out to be like she needed help with something?
<Can I ask you a question?>
What are the chances that he may respond back with ‘you just did’? She makes a face at the thought and deletes the message. She’s not giving him that satisfaction. She could try being a bit more honest about it…
<I had a nightmare and I can’t go back to sle-|
She doesn’t even finish typing out the message and she’s already deleting it mid-way through.
Haru’s tired. Honesty is a good policy. Sure, she could advocate for either side, but she’s tired and feeling anxious. At this point, it’s the point of ‘screw it, just go for it. It’s too late to fuss over the details. Let future Haru worry about that in the morning’
[Hey, if you’re awake, can I call you? I can’t sleep after having a nightmare, and I want to hear your voice.]
Yeah, sure, that’ll do. Future Haru can deal with the ramifications of this text being sent. She sets the phone down and she brings her pillow to her chest to hug it for comfort as she waits for a response.
