Why Am I Here? - Sapnap/ Dream x OC

Milkshakes and Laundry

I woke up that morning feeling refreshed for once. Having no dreams the past night, in an absolutely dark bliss for hours. That almost never happened so I took advantage of the feeling by getting up and deciding to take a shower. I hopped out of the warm covers and grabbed my stuff and headed to the bathroom, disregarding my phone until after my shower.

I walked into the bathroom, feeling the temperature change under my feet as I walked onto the cool tile. I set my things on the toilet lid and just before I got undressed I caught a glance at myself in the mirror. Yeah, I definitely needed this. I was looking rough to say the least. I slipped my clothes off and stepped into the warm stream of water, just letting it crash gently onto my shoulders as I took a moment to enjoy the feeling.

I sighed as I began to get on with my shower, making sure to wash my face for once in my life. After doing my routine, I hopped out and dried off, letting my hair air dry. I walked out wearing a pair of brown sweatpants, a baby blue tank top, and white fuzzy socks. I picked up some of my laundry and filtered it into my laundry bin, making a mental note to do laundry later tonight. I then strode over to my phone and flopped onto my bed, mentally drained from the tedious task of showering and cleaning my floor. Yeah it's the bare minimum but I haven't had a healthily structured morning in months so cut me some slack.

As I crawled back into bed, I opened up Snapchat and opened my snap from Nick I decidedly left unopened yesterday night.

"I'm glad you think I'm crazy, good to know you read me well. Goodnight :))"

I smiled at the message for no particular reason, and snapped him back a good morning, with to which he immediately responded in chat.

Nick: "Good morning! You crashed out early last night, huh?"

Rian: "Are you kidding? It was nearly 2 you psycho😆🔪"

Nick: "Okay? Thats still early as shit😐"

Rian: "Pack it up Mr. Insomnia🙄✋"

I laughed as I slid out to open Clays snap he had sent me last night as well.

"I had fun getting to know you Ri. You should join our call and hang with us all sometime," his snap read, with a black screen as the background. I lingered over the nickname he gave me and smiled. Thats sweet of Clay for wanting to include me. He had seemed thoughtful like that.

"Morning Clay! I'll def have to take you up on that offer, lmk when I'm wanted in a call and I'll be there :D"

After hitting send I decided to take a nap. Go ahead and judge me, but I was worn out from the productive morning I had...and besides it was like 9:30 and I didn't have class until 12.

I laid in bed and let the warmth from my sheets overtake me as I drifted to sleep surprisingly easily.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked out of my class only to be met with the new bitterness in the air that had formed that afternoon. With it being fall and all, it was expected, even in Texas.

It was around 3 and I hadn't eaten yet due to sleeping a little to late during my nap, so my stomach was yelling at me to feed myself, which I decided to happily oblige to. I walked fast, airpods blasting and laptop in hand, to the new diner Bailey showed me the day before. I think that may just become a new favorite place of mine. I can't believe I hadn't discovered it yet for almost living there a year, granted I never leave my dorm unless Bailey drags me...

As I walked up the street nearing the diner I heard someone calling from behind me, "RIAN?!"

I paused taking out my airpods, only having one ear hearing "Mr.Rager" by Kid Cudi, the other met with a breeze, and otherwise silence. I decidedly turned around only to be met with that familiar smile I'd been seeing the past 24 hours, about 3 feet away from me. I smiled back at him and took out my other airpod.
