The Night Shift - skephalo

Up and Go

Darryls POV

I slowly opened my eyes to be greeted with a harsh light shining right in my eyes, I moved myself over a little with rat on my lap, she woke up and jumped off, running to her food bowl for breakfast. I slowly sat up, stretching the kinks out of my back from sleeping on the couch. I took a long look around, everything was in its normal place.

I got up from the couch, stretching once more before going to the bathroom to comb out my messy hair, take a piss, and get ready for the day.

I walked in and pre usual my day clothes sat on the corner of the sink waiting for me, along with a note that wasn't there before. I picked it up and read the rather neat handwriting "sorry if your clothes are a little wet, didn't realize how good of water pressure this place had lol" it took me a moment to rember Zak was sleeping in the guest room, huh. I threw the note away in the near trashcan before changing into my dry clothes. He must have gotten them wet last night and they had dried by now.

I walked out and headed to the kitchen to see rat anticipating me to come feed her. "Alright rat, just give me a moment you little muffinhead." I had got accustomed to the word muffin head, simply from the fact that I work with kids, and im not allow to curse around them.

I got rats food out and filled her bowl, I gave her new water and then began on my own breakfast. Today I decided bacon and eggs sounded fine. I got out 4 eggs, and the bacon. I started up two skillets and cracked two of the eggs into one of then and lined the bacon on the other skillet. The smell of bacon filled the room, making me more hungry. The aurora was amazing!
I turned the skillets on low and turned to the table and got 2 pieces of bread, I put them in the toaster before getting out some jam and milk. I ran back to the skillets to scramble the eggs more to make sure they wouldn't burn or stuck to the pan. I also flipped the bacon on its uncooked side before going back to the  toaster and getting the toast out. I spred an equal amount of jam on both pieces and poured two glasses of milk. I grabbed two plates and went over to the skillets once more to get half the bacon on one plate and half on the other, I put all the eggs on one of the plates before cracking the final two into the skillet.

I put the toast on the side of the plate and sat it on the table with the milk. Just as I turned back to the skillet I heard a voice lazily call put too me

"Quite a chef aren't you?" His voice was rougher than last night, it made me jump in place Slightly. This and a laugh from him before he sat down at the table "Really know how too treat your guest huh? Is this mine?" I didn't have to see him to know he was smirking "yes, please enjoy it." I said lazily as I cooked mine and put it on a plate before sitting down parallel to him, I imminently began eating, I was starving. I didn't make any dinner and personally didn't have lunch yesterday. It only took me a few minutes to finish my food, I looked up over at him and he was just finishing up "thank you, the food was great!" He sounded more cheerful and refreshed than before. "Heh, thank you," I stood up and took his plate and rinsed it off in the sink, leaving it there to fully wash later.

"Sooooo, what our ongoing plans?"

"Well I need to get my car to the shop this morning or ill risk losing both my jobs, im sorry to ask but it you would could you take me to work and ill have my car towed to the shop"

"Yeah it wouldn't be a problem, here, take my phone number in case yoy need me in the future" he handed me a small slip of paper with a phone number written down as well as his full name  "thank you" I spoke softly befrie grabbing my bags and redirecting to the door "I need to be leaving really soon, ill be waiting out by your car, please be ready soon." I left out the door hearing him get up out of his seat before the door shut. I waited out by him car for around five minutes before seeing him come out of the apartment a backpack on his shoulder as he slid down the railing of the stairs. Without words I got in the passenger side of the car and he got in the drivers side.

"So are we headed back to that gass station?" He started up the car slightly glancing at me for a response "no  actually, during the day I work at a special need reserve. I work with kids." He looked at me, seemed suprised. "...what?" He gained back senses and stumbled to words saying "oh, im sorry its just- I didn't expect yoy to work with kids, with all the graphic video game posters and stuff I thought you might have been a game designer or something?" I laughed to myself slightly "I've always wanted to code games and stuff but never found the time, now days I just accasionally stream, work, and chat with some online freinds who do code and stream, one of then thinks he's found the perfect thing to put on the intrent, he thinks it gonna blow up and wants us to join it with him. I hope it works out for him" Zak fell silent, listening to it all "O-oh jeez I'm sorry im talking too much, h‐here, I tell you the directions"
