It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?   i n s t r u c t i o n s • Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject). • Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10. • Have fun!   o p t i o n s 01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet. 02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops. 03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it. 04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them... 05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort. 06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help? 07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on. 08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them. 09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you. 10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario

Haruki | Hybrid Child oc | OTA

Haruki was glad to be back - and to have found a certain someone once again. It had been a good stretch of time since he was gone, and time had passed in his world. He'd remembered that something didn't feel right after having a strange dream. But... he hadn't dreamed before, so why now?

He'd also noticed that his body had changed slightly - it had... evolved a bit. some of the joints were even fainter in appearance.

Feeling vaguely unsettled, he'd gone about his life - until returning again.

He remembered everything again. How much sweeter life in this strange dimension felt compared to living in his world. Heine.

But Haruki couldn't sleep, so he did the only thing besides sex that he was really good at: making cupcakes. He worked quietly, without any electric tools as he mixed the batter. It wasn't like he was tired, anyway, but waking Heine was not an option.

[strayhound]

It was hard to say why Heine woke up in the first place. Usually, it would be because of a nightmare or some sort of haunted vision that he had, or any discomfort but when he woke up this time, he saw nothing but the dimmed shadow of the ceiling. The clock on the bedside table told him it was 4 am in the morning... but he couldn't sleep anymore.

So he sat up and made his way to the kitchen, wearing only the bandages wrapped around his neck and a pair of sleep pants.

That was when Heine found Haruki, quietly going about making something.

"Up already?"

[cunningdoll]

Haruki turned his head slightly, hearing Heine's approach, and he shrugged. "Couldn't sleep at all."

But at least he wasn't alone now.

"You alright? It's still early enough that you could go back to bed without sleeping through the day." Not that he was trying to shove Heine away.

He continued to mix the batter by hand, methodically and without spilling a drop of it.

[strayhound]

"Mm, yeah. Don't need much sleep anyway." There had to be some reason that Haruki couldn't sleep but Heine was never one to ask questions or to dig for information. Instead, he sat quietly at one of the stools at their breakfast bar and rested his chin in his palm as he watched the other continue to work.

"What're you making?" At this hour, too. Haruki always seemed to do odd things at odd hours.
