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.

caesar zeppeli | jojo's bizarre adventure | ota
9. PREPARE TO BE TROLLED, CAE.
She was too restless to sleep, her brain buzzing over thoughts of things to do tomorrow that she - honestly - wasn't sure she was prepared for. Anyway, the last time she tried to wake up the Italian man, he nearly punched her lights out. Better to start at the feet then. ]
Caesar-kun.
[That was all the warning he'd get before she clasped her icy hand around his foot.]
no subject
What deity did he piss off to deserve this life? Is it karma for all the buildings he burnt down in his youth? It must be.
He's vaguely aware of another person in his room long before they actually touch him, but it's only when that icy cold sensation hits his toes that he jerks to life. Kokoro, what the hell!!!
His foot moves on reflex with an automatic attempt to kick and/or push the offender away-whichever comes first. If she gets hurt, that'll be a little lesson for next time.]
This better be good.
no subject
Of course it is. I can't get settled and now you're up, so keep me company for a little bit.
Pleaaaaaaaase, please, please, please? I really can't sleep.
no subject
[And then the begging starts and there's no point in fighting her pleas. He's going to give in-she knows it, he knows it, so why waste the time doing a pointless song and dance. She's a beautiful woman with a playful demeanor-there's no harm in this.]
If I had known you wanted my company so much, I would have invited you into my bedroom before I went to sleep.
no subject
[Smooth, Amamiya. But also she comes around and sits on the edge of his bed.]
I really did try to sleep, but instead, I'm awake. And now you are. Yay~
no subject
When she sits on his bed, he lets an arm drape around her shoulders-loose and comfortable. ]
What's your plan now that we're both awake? What did you want?
no subject
[She laughs a little and rests her head against his. Despite her nerves, at least she has time to verbally spar with him and fluffs his hair.]
You're really a lot better at planning things than I am, Mr Conquest.
no subject
He moves a hand to lightly pinch her nose.]
What a nickname.
[Mr.Conquest. His reputation is really, uh, out there.]
Why don't we move into the other room? I'm sure there's something we can watch on the television.
4 ... Pretend this is an AU again or something idk
Instead, the blonde won't say a word - just, silently climb into bed with said beef.
Well, almost silently: ]
Shut up.
[ ...Tsukuyo, Caesar hasn't even said anything yet. As far as she's concerned, she's nipping this in the bud before the crap he tends to spout starts. ]
no subject
But she says Shut up and he respects that wish by not saying a damn thing-only twisting his body so he can face her, one arm moving around her shoulders to pull this stunning little number closer.]
I didn't expect you tonight.
no subject
It's just a one-off.
There's a draft in my place, that's all.
[ A huge draft, yep. Practically arctic conditions.
...Also she's having a bad night and doesn't feel like being alone but she ain't going into that part. ]
no subject
He's not stupid.
And he's not dumb enough to prod the finicky bear that's curled up against him.
A hand settles on the back of her head, threading through her hair, and against the small of her back. There's a knowing lilt to his voice when he opens his mouth.]
What a shame.
[He sure doesn't SOUND disappointed in the slightest.]
You're always welcome here if the nights get too cold for your liking. As long as you don't toss me out of bed again.
no subject
And Tsukuyo isn't acting as though she finds him annoying. He is annoying. But apparently that's not stopping her from being here for whatever reason.
She huffs at that, although she's obviously letting herself relax now, enjoying his touch - even with the look on her face as she gazes up at him. ]
Sure... Me 'n the other 10 women you've got in and out of here. I'll just wait until there's a vacancy.
Don't get used to this, "Casanova".
no subject
She pierces right through him with that knowing gaze and it would be stupid to deny the steady stream of partners he's had over the weeks. Tsukuyo isn't stupid or blind.
He runs a hand along her spine-trailing his fingers slowly up and down her back. Look, he's being good. It's fine.]
If you were here every night, I wouldn't have to fill the void with another you know.
no subject
She makes a quiet derisive sounding noise at that. ]
I think you've filled enough voids.
[ Despite her cynical comment, she isn't objecting to his touches. Far from it. She lets her head rest on that solid, warm block of a chest of his, still curled against him. Her violet eyes are half-lidded as she murmurs more to him. ]
Don't go sayin' stuff like that to me like ya actually mean it.
no subject
He holds her a bit tighter for it, suddenly in a much better mood than he was a few minutes ago.
But the second comment is softer-something like a plea or a drowsy taunt that holds more truth than he's willing to deal with right now. ]
I wouldn't lie to you. You could learn to take a compliment, you know.
no subject
Her comfy and warm position doesn't stop her frowning up at him at that comment though. ]
I can take one.
[ She really can't. ]
no subject
[He knows damn well she can't and this opportunity to potentially fluster her? Is one he won't pass up.
The hand resting on her back slides forward until it's resting between them and he raises it gently grab her chin if she doesn't move away. He tilts it up, so they're eye to eye in this already small bed and-]
Then if I laid here and whispered all the reasons you're beautiful into your ear, you would accept it, right?
no subject
WHAT THE HELL.........
She doesn't move away, because as far as she's concerned in her supremely stubborn brain this is like a game of chicken now. Even if she's finding it very difficult to look back at him without an awkward, slightly pained expression on her face.
Tsukuyo huffs. ]
That... Sounds like a huge waste of time to me.
[ She really doesn't get it, him and his ridiculous, froufrou, flirty ways - are women supposed to like this? Does anyone enjoy this? Obviously some people do or he wouldn't be such a ridiculous bed hopper.
Even just the notion of anyone even thinking she's beautiful makes her feel weird. When she sees herself as a scarred warrior with no sense of womanhood left in her.
Also, she's totally not answering his question but hey, deflection. Always deflection. ]
no subject
[He presses a very soft kiss to her forehead-what a difficult women, but he adores her for it. In the strangest possible way, he's always happy on the rare occasions she joins him in bed over any other tourist he sways along the way home.]
It's only me and you and nowhere to be. You won't lose anything from hearing it.
no subject
[ Difficult - like he's not a huge pain in the ass himself.
Despite her words, Tsukuyo does let her eyes close briefly when he presses that kiss to her forehead. When she opens them again, she's looking him in the eye, wilful as ever. ]
Say what ya want. It's not goin' to affect me either way.
