"I'm not sure if that's possible, but it's worth a shot. I'll have time once exams are over anyway, they'll be done in a week or so for me. And you'll swoon so hard over my music that you'll forever deem me your particular composer, I tell you, it's some good shit." Somewhere along the way, Dave actually started getting good at it, hence why he is accepted to even stand at the DJ booth when he gets the chance to. "When will yours be done, again?"

"What, exams? Three days left. I've got an online exam tomorrow an' two the day after. My ancient one's been moved, again." He rolled his eyes, huffing in exasperation. "I'm thinkin' a droppin' that course. It's turnin' out to be a waste a my tine an' the bane of my existence." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I am so over classes an' exams an' surprise tests."

Eridan was so tired of the classwork, and the lack of sleep really was not helping him.

"Aren't we all? But there won't be any for a while after we're done with them, so I'd rather not even mentioning them more than it's needed." He sighs a little. "Don't you tend to sleep more in the summer? Because, you know, you have no shit to do. Now I'm curious."

2015-06-24 00:47:09

🌀

"Not really. I don't like to sleep Dave. I just use the night to do other stuff. I do sleep at least two hours every night during summer, instead of two hours once a week or somethin'." He shrugged, resting his chin on his hand. "I sail more durin' the summer though. I find it easier to sleep when I'm at sea."

●

"I... I don't really think that's safe, but, you probably could do it for a long time when I learn how to sail a boat." Dave reached the conclusion that Eridan had no notion of danger whatsoever. "Just asking because you look tired as hell, your eyes must be constantly stinging." He wrinkled his nose at the thought.

"When the ship's at anchor I sleep. It's calmer, it feels safer, I can sleep then." When Dave mentioned that his eyes must sting a lot he blinked, now aware of what he usually took no notice of. He raised a hand to rub at his eyes under his glasses. "I don't usually notice. I'm used to it I guess?" He shrugged, squinting slightly and blinking at Dave.

Dave's life mission was to get Eridan to sleep now. Somehow he'd do it. It was just so odd to the guy that slept ten plus hours a day when he managed to hear of someone that slept 2 hours per week at best. No wonder his eyebags were as deep as the ocean itself. "Have you tried to run for a world record for most time awake?"

2015-06-24 01:32:57

🌀

"Is there a record now?" Eridan raised an eyebrow at him, skeptiscm clear on his face. "Well when they come round with the record holder again, give me a call an' I'll change their sleepless-ness." He shook his head slightly, rolling his eyes in good humour. "I really don't understand why you appear to think that my sleepin' so little is a bad thing."

2015-06-24 01:46:02

●

"Yep, the record is 11 days, but you could probably top that pretty easily. I'll check if they give prizes for that shit." He smiles a little, pushing his mug to the side so that he could cross his arms on top of the table, and rest his head on top of them. "Because it is! It fucks with your brain bro, I'm telling you. I remember reading somewhere that the more hours you go without sleeping the more honest you get, because your brain starts failing when it comes to that sort of shit. That's also why you get 'more creative' at night, because you're tired as hell and you're more willing to draw or do whatever without fearing fucking up"

2015-06-24 01:50:21

🌀

"Only 11 days? Pfft." Eridan pulled a face, rolling his eyes and grinning. "I can beat that. If I hadn't slept last night I would be at twelve already." He shivered, looking grumpily out the window. "I don't care Dave. It doesn't fuck with my head as much as you'd think. You get used to it after a while."

He quirked a brow, "are you sayin' I'm not a creative person Dave?"

2015-06-24 02:26:18

●

He smiled a little at him, being forced to look up at him from the top of his shades due to his position. "How long have you been doing that for, again? Cus I mean, if you had anything going for you, like, someone to play video games with or something, you know, something actually keeping you awake, it would make sense, but you have to distract yourself. Not pushing it though, don't get grumpy on me now." He smiled a little wider at the accusation. "Certainly not, you look creative enough to me."

2015-06-24 02:29:22

🌀

Eridan blinked, wondering if it was his sleepless-ness that was making everything appear funnily coloured.

Nope. That was just very red.

He shook his head, looking at Dave. "Stayin' awake? Like just this time or all the time? If it's all the time it's because I don't like sleepin'. I don't like what happens when one sleeps an' I hate wastin' time doin' jack all lyin' there." He shrugged, tapping lightly on the table. "I distract myself because I don't have anyone to do the distractin' for me." He spoke like it was obvious, squinting slightly at Dave.

"Well I could help out. Not like I have anything to do, and I have a couple of games that would be much better with another person. John won't play because he's being his usual nerd self and doing important work or whatever, so he could probably lend you his copy of the games. Unless of course learning dead languages and knots is more fun, in which case I take back my offer." As he says that, the bell on top of the door rings, and he looks back, only to find a girl. He didn't know her, so she could only really be a client. "Oh shit, sorry, guess your Dave time has expired." He quickly got up, grabbing his apron and giving the girl an apologetic smile as he gathered what wouldn't be needed on the tray. "Will you be going or staying for a while longer, because people are going to start rushing in now, so I won't have much time."

2015-06-24 02:58:27

🌀

"I wouldn't mind playin' a few games here an' there. Are they good games or shitty ironic games?" He quirked a brow, smiling slightly. He looked up as the door opened, expression schooled back to neutral. "Nah I'll be headin' hime. Gonna go nap or somethin', see if I can chase off this cold before it really sets." He pulled a face and stood up, gathering his stuff. "Have I paid for everythin'?" He turned to face Dave, digging in his pocket for a few coins.

2015-06-24 03:18:13

●

"You've payed for everything, don't worry. The extra tea would just be thrown away meanwhile if you didn't drink it, so I'm absolutely not charging for that. You go do your napping." He shrugs, ending up putting everything on the tray. "And yeah, they're pretty good games. When I get home I'll send you a couple of titles so that you can pick which ones you want. I'll see you then." With that he quickly waved, smiling at him, and rushed back behind the counter so that he could get the young girl's order, apologising for taking a while.

2015-06-24 03:21:37

🌀

"Alright, talk to you then. Bye Dave." Eridan wave slightly as he swung his bag over his shoulder and headed for the door. It was cold outside, cold and damp an he sneezed almost instantly.

Great.

Eridan hurried home, muffling his coughs and sneezes into his scarf as he took side alleys and streets to get back quicker and into warmth.

He wondered what the games were, and if they really are any good.

2015-06-24 03:35:54

Dave spent most of his time at work thinking of which games he'd want to play with Eridan. One of the most obvious choices to him would be 'the last of us', as it had a pretty great plot, and god did he secretly adore ellie's puns. A couple of other titles came to mind through out the day that he's scribble on his notepad, waiting for when he came back home.

It wasnt until two and half hours later that he did find himself at home though. Plopping on his bed, he grabs his phone, about to play some game, but remembers to text Eridan.

"so ampora have you done all of your napping yet"

2015-06-24 03:47:17

🌀

Eridan crashed onto his couch the second he was home, bag falling off his shoulder and managing to get his shoes off before he passed out.

He woke up sneezing and to an insistant dinging. He ignored it right up until he'd put the kettle to boil, bringing his phone with him to the kitchen.

"no"

"but wwhatevver im awwake noww"

"found any games yet"

2015-06-24 03:57:12

●

"ah shit"

"sorry about that"

"yeah, I was thinking about 'the last of us' for starters"

"ever heard of it?"

"wwas shitty sleep anywway"

"vvaguely"

"isnt it somethin like zombie fungi thing click click mothafucka boom get the chick to the glowwin bug thing thats on the other side of the thing an oh fuck shits goin dowwn?"

Hey, he watched playthroughs of the game. It looked fun, and with a good storyline.

2015-06-24 20:58:01

●

He grins at the screen, as he puts his shades to the side, doing a quick job at tossing his shoes to the side as he reads it.

"amazing how you got the hang of it so quickly"

"thats it"

"thats the whole story"

"except with more 'oh fuck shits going down'"

"interested?"

2015-06-24 21:11:57

🌀

"fuck yes"

Eridan grinned, pouring himself tea and moving back to the pile of blankets he'd left on the couch. The perfect warmth.

"more oh fucks shits an hella sads apparently"

"i assume you havve the game?"

2015-06-24 21:31:20

●

"of course i do"

"why would i offer to play it with you if i didnt have it in the first place"

"and yeah"

"lots of hella sads"

"fuck tons of them"

"but well get to the best sads when we play the dlc"

"hold on"

"let me ask john if he can bring it tomorrow"

He rolled on his stomach, crossing his legs in the air as he looked for his contact. He decided to call him, as it would be easier than texting him, and quickly explained what was happening. John was a bit reluctant at first, but he ended up agreeing, and saying that if his copy got damaged he'd keep Dave's, which was fair.

"hacker voice: im in"

2015-06-24 21:35:16

"dont evver say that again you sound like an idiot"
