I stand here today
So far from the same
It's hard to move on without you



He felt like he should have been more surprised to learn that the hedgehog was in fact their Trickster, but honestly he didn't care enough to question it. "Of course it is," he muttered, leaning back into the couch. He would have to be careful not to fall asleep sitting up. He barely heard Rhys come over and say something to Trez, but he was drifting and didn't catch a lot of it. Mostly just something about status. Maybe his status in the gang? I don't think he knows I have his job now. That's going to be a fun conversation, he thought.

He hadn't realized his eyes closed, till he had to open them when he felt Trez shift next to him. It was a good thing he did, cause he was now looking at him. Hope he didn't notice me dozing off, he thought. It took him a moment to process what he had said to him. Fish-stars? Swimming in the sky? He gave him a confused look. "How much were you drinking?" he didn't expect a real answer. He figured it was something along the lines of enough to not remember a majority of the last two weeks. "It's a good thing I found you if you didn't even realize you were back home. And don't worry about staying here tonight. You're here so I don't have to have an extra freak out in the morning running over to your place to make sure you didn't disappear again."

The longer he sat the more it sank in how exhausted he was. He needed to go to bed soon or he wasn't going to be leaving this couch on his own. I don't think Trez would carry me either. He forced himself to sit up and look at Rhys. If he was going to go to bed then it was probably better to send her home. He didn't have any place for her to sleep and she had a Trickster to take care of. "Unless you have something that needs to be addressed now, you should probably head home and deal with your trickster hedgehog. I'll text you when I get up tomorrow and figure out where Craith is and when he will be getting back." Unless he slept in till Craith barged into his apartment demanding to know where Trez was, but that was a problem for his morning self to deal with.





So my God fill these spaces left in me
I'm so near to lost, but I'm not
I'm everything but lost cause I'm not alone

Trez never told anyone about his dreams. Not even the good ones. If he was ever questioned about them, he would simply say that he didn't dream at all. He felt that they were very private experiences, and he really didn't want anyone trying to pick him apart from the subconscious out.

This one was a new one, but it was definitely of the happy variety. He was in the woods, and the air was warm. It was obviously summer. He was just walking through between the trees, looking for the path that had seemed to disappear from beneath his feet. He heard birds and squirrels up in the trees, bugs flew past him, a snake disappeared under a bush. It was so serene, so peaceful. Nothing but him and the sounds of wildlife-

That was until, of course, his heart jumped out of his chest. The sound of breaking glass had him awake, and on high alert. The air around him plummeted in temperature, ice frosted his hands, and his eyes searched the darkness for the source of the sound. They found no threat, instead focusing slowly on... Taiki.

He let out the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding, watching as the male knelt down, picking up something from the floor. His eyes could just barely make out the large spill, and the steam coming off of it. He pushed off the couch, and made his way to the kitchen, snagging a hand towel off the counter.

He tapped Taiki's head, once, and laughed a bit. "Well... good morning to you, too. Fancy alarm clock you've got there." He said, before crouching down, to help soak up the spill.

"Usually, I can sleep through anything. I must have been close to waking up anyways." Which was true. He was known for his ability to sleep like the dead. But given he was sleeping in an odd place, cold, and with a pounding headache, he probably wasn't sleeping as deep as he should have been. "Really, it's no problem. I was awake anyways, and I don't mind helping."

When he finished wiping up the water, he rung the hand towel out in the sink, folding it carefully over the faucet. "Sleeping in a ball keeps me warm. Side effects." he said, holding his hand up to show Taiki the faint traces of frost that still lingered on his knuckles.

He leaned against the counter as the other started another mug of water. He smiled softly at the amount of sugar that went into the cup. "Easy there, cupcake, you'll be bouncing off the ceiling."

The thought of a hot beverage was initially appealing, but his stomach rolled at the thought. "Uh, no. I'm good. I don't want to trouble you anymore than I already have."

Trez watched the male carefully, tilting his head a bit. It had just occurred to him that the male had been exhausted, more than ready to be in bed, and yet here he was. Wide awake and tossing around dishes. "Damn. I was really look forward to a game of leapfrog." he teased, smiling softly. “And sorry about stealing your blanket. I’ll head home in the morning, so you’ll have it back.”


He pushed away from the counter, heading back to the couch. “Well, I’m somewhat of a picky eater. Despite my drinking habits, I have a very… health conscious diet. So, I don’t usually like asking people to put up with that. But as you said, I can always get up to get something if I really need to. And I do thank you for that, on top of all the other hospitality you’ve extended tonight.” He curled in on himself again, but sitting up this time, and began rubbing his hands together to warm them.


“What about you, sleepyhead? What are you doing awake?”
