the i n s o m n i a meme

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?

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.

[Santana turns her head to look at Brittany with a soft smile. This is just one of the things she's going to miss the most. Just being this close to her]

Beautiful.

[She's still staring at Brittany. Sure, it's cheesy, but right now Santana doesn't give a damn.]

[brittany doesn't notice at the moment, her head is tipped back and she's looking up at the sky.]

It will be like that movie. About the mice. We can both look up at the sky and know that we're seeing the same sky.

Yeah. [Santana chuckles, finally looking away from Brittany and up to the sky.

She rests her head further on Brittany's shoulder, and sighs]

[at that brittany rests her head to the top of santana's]

Don't be sad. We'll be okay.

Right?

[she pulls up to look over at her]

Definitely.

[Santana doesn't hesitate to answer. If there's one thing she's sure about, it's them.

She pulls Brittany back down and presses her lips against her jaw]

We'll be fine.

[she leans in to that and sighs]

Nothing can stop us.

[then brittany turns just so to catch the kiss on her lips]

[Santana breaks that kiss to tilt her head up and press her lips against Brittany's properly. She should be cutting back on kisses- learning how to live without them everyday, but she can't.]

Love you, B.

[brittany is against cutting back on kisses. she plans on getting as many as she can before santana leaves]

Love you, too.

[Santana is so okay with that.]

We should go back, [She mumbles reluctantly] before someone realises we're gone.

[brittany pouts a bit, but nods]

Okay. I guess you're right.

[she slowly pulls herself to her feet and reaches out for santana's hands to help her up]

We'll hang out later on. [She promises, taking Brittany's hand.

Sure, she has to pack, but it's much more fun with Brittany around.]

Okay. After we both sleep.

[she nods. she hates every time she has to leave santana, but she doesn't want to think about that now.]

Come on. [Santana tugs Brittany's hand gently, heading the direction of Brittany's house] I'll walk you home.

[this makes Brittany smile and she stays close to santana, still holding her hand]

You're such a gentleman.

[teasing in her own brittany way]

[Santana clicks her tongue] Well someone has to show the guys how it's done.

[She grins, bumping against Brittany slightly]

[britt laughs and bumps back before skipping a couple of steps]

You're better than any guy.

[Santana raises her eyebrows suggestively with a smirk on her face]

I know.

[brittany isn't usually great with getting looks, but that one she gets. of course she does.]

You're the best. But probably because you're you.

[Santana ducks her head and smiles to herself. She knows she's blushing- Brittany just does that to her, especially when she says things like that]

You're not so bad yourself.

[and she just smiles with a nod]

I know. I'm really good.

You really, really are.

[Santana agrees with a hum, turning down into the street Brittany lives on]

[she grins and swings santana's hand as they turn]

We both are. It's why we're the best.

Totally.

[Santana laughs, stopping a few houses away from Brittany's and pulls Brittany towards her]

Taking you to your front door probably isn't the best idea, huh?

[she glances over her shoulder, then looks back at santana with a slight pout]

Probably not.

[she sets her hands at santana's waist and moves closer]

I can try to come over tomorrow?

[Santana wraps her arms around Brittany's neck and nods]

Yeah, definitely. Just come over whenever.
