Go The Fuck to Sleep, Monty

{This is actually a fic idea I had for a while, but never fully had the chance to work on it. Or had the confidence. But I decided to do it. So here it is. Something dedicated to Monty.}

The entirety of RoosterTeeth knew about Monty and his... lack of a sleep schedule. As Burnie would say, he was "like a machine." When he's awake, he'll work so much and for so long. But when he's not, he'll "power down." Or he'll go into "sleep mode."

When he was in "sleep mode", he was often found sleeping in the strangest of places: Under desks, on tables, in closets, just to name a few. But, he'd go hours without sleeping. Everyone understood why, I mean he's always excited to work on what he loved. But that still didn't deny how everyone was concerned on how he got little sleep. The one thing everyone would say to him is, "Go the fuck to sleep, Monty."

But there were 3 different moments that Monty remembers about the phrase.

1. Miles and Kerry

Alright, so after a long day of working on RWBY, Miles and Kerry decided to head to a small town pizza place that was near the office.

Miles ran into Monty's office to get him. He was greeted with him animating a scene on one monitor, Google images of Corgis on another, and him watching a movie on half speed on a third.

"Come on, Monty! We're really hungry! Let's go get pizza!" Miles yelled out. Monty simply waved at him.

"Give me 5 minutes, I'm almost done!" He yelled back. Miles rolled his eyes. He speed-walked towards his desk and placed his arms on his hips as if he was an angry mother.

"That's what you said 15 minutes ago!" Miles whined. After waiting a couple of seconds, he began to pull Monty's chair away from his desk. He was so glad their chairs were the one's with wheels. Monty helplessly flailed his arms, trying to get back to his desk.

After a couple of minutes of begging and pleading from both Kerry and Miles, Monty agreed to go.

All three men walked into the windy autumn night. None of them were really used to any type of cold in Texas, so of course this was something new.

Miles' teeth chattered as he wore a light sweater. Kerry quickly put on his hood of his RWBY sweater. Monty wore a black sweater vest, much like one an anime character would wear, but he was still admittedly cold. Fortunately, the pizza place wasn't that far.

Once they got there, they all sat down at a table as Kerry went to order.

"Why did you bring us here?" Monty asked with a yawn at the end.

Miles lifted up a finger and pointed at him.

"Yeah, that's why."

Monty simply stared at Miles in confusion.

"When was the last time you slept?" Miles interrogated. Monty looked at the clock that's hanging on the front entrance.

"I don't know. Maybe like.... a day ago or something..." He replied nonchalantly. Miles slowly nodded his head as Kerry came back with an entire pizza pie.

They spent the rest of their time talking about upcoming projects, new anime that's coming out, and life in general. As they all chatted and ate, Monty kept drifting in and out of sleep. His head kept bobbing up and down, trying to stay awake.

Miles and Kerry noticed and simply shook their heads as he continued to stay awake.

"Go the fuck to sleep, Monty!" Both men yelled at the same time. Monty immediately looked up in shock.

Miles and Kerry got up and carried him out of the restaurant, holding him up by his armpits.

They opened the door and were greeted with a blast of cold wind. They walked down the sidewalk as they ventured into the night.
