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.

Now that was certainly going to put him to sleep. Leaning back into Isaac's hands, he nodded slightly, smiling at the kiss. "I think I know...though you could always inform me more."

[firsttofreedom]

Smiling, Isaac peppered kisses down the side of Stiles' neck. "I love you. More than I can even understand." There was no hint of humor in his voice, only strong conviction and honest truth. "And you are helping. More than you can imagine." Not just anyone offered to stay up all night with him when sleep refused to come to him. And only Stiles could ever make him feel like he wasn't just a nuisance for staying awake.

[oralfixations]

Stiles laughed lightly, caught between half exhaustion and half arousal--a pretty content feeling, if he did say so himself. "Mm...I love you too." He leaned back more, working to plant his back against the werewolf's chest.

"Well good. Always aiming to be helpful."

[firsttofreedom]

Isaac let Stiles relax against him, wrapping both arms around his waist and pulling him closer. He tucks his nose against the side of the human's neck, breathing him in and feeling it relax him. "You are helpful, Stiles, more often than not, to more than just me. I mean, I have doubts Scott would have survived this long without you."

[oralfixations]

"...yeah I won't deny that." Stiles smirked, laying his hands over Isaac's, lacing their fingers together as he settled down, easily matching his breathing with the werewolf's. He closed his eyes, turning slightly into the other teen's nuzzles.

"You guys would be lost without me, totally."

[firsttofreedom]

"Probably. There's a lot that even Derek didn't know, that we would have any idea about if you hadn't made the effort to find out." Isaac lets his own eyes closed, curled around Stiles and pulling him closer with his legs.

[oralfixations]

"Mmmm..." Stiles let out a breath, turning his head into Isaac's chest slightly, breathing in his scent. "For the record..." He yawned, snuggling in closer (if that was possible). "...totally passing out soon. I tried valiantly, but alas, sleep is winning..."

[firsttofreedom]

"I told you to go to sleep if you were tired." He hadn't wanted Stiles to exhaust himself just to keep Isaac company. But the Beta had appreciated it nonetheless, even if he could smell his mate's tiredness. "Think I may join you, actually."

[oralfixations]

"I know. But I wanted to stay up." Stiles was practically whining that phrase, but he knew Isaac didn't really care. Shifting, he pressed his lips to the werewolf's shoulder.

"Good. All part of the plan."

[firsttofreedom]

"I know." Isaac wriggles down the bed some more, slow so as not to startle his own body into thinking it wants to be awake, while also attempting not to jostle Stiles too much, until they're sprawled lazily. "You need to get the blanket."

[oralfixations]

"Mmm...easy." Stiles used his toes and legs to pull the blanket up enough so that he could grab it with his hands, tugging it over both their bodies.

"See? Magic." He chuckled low, wrapping his arms around Isaac's waist, sighing happily.

"Gonna...make breakfast...tomorrow."

[firsttofreedom]

Isaac curled an arm around Stiles' shoulder, pulling him close and focusing on his heart beat and his breathing, calming his to match. He lets his mate's scent calm him, absorbs it and closes his eyes slowly. "Mm? What'cha makin'?"

[oralfixations]

"Pancakes?" He sighs, snuggling in closer, almost asleep, already. "...whatever you want. Lots of bacon."

[firsttofreedom]

"Can we have eggs as well?" There was no denying that Isaac loved Stiles' cookig ad at his mate's house was about the only place he could get a decent meal that consisted of more than McDonald's or canned spaghetti. He could feel sleep slowly creeping up the back of his mind, but he chose to ignore it, in fear that if he tried to sleep, his traitor brain would wake him up.

[oralfixations]

"Yep. Any way you want." Stiles presses his lips against Isaac's chest again, holding to him tightly. He liked cooking for the werewolf, for his father. It reminded him of his mother, of something good he could do, without screwing it up. It made people happy...so it made him happy.

[firsttofreedom]

"However you cook them is fine." Isaac curled his arm around Stiles' waist, cuddling him close and turning to bury his face against his mate's neck, eyes finally falling closed of their own choice.
