DC flipped through his papers and groaned.
"I can't believe I lost that bill." DC moaned, tugging at his hair.
"You sure you didn't just give it to IDC?" Washington asked looking up from his own pile of papers, trying to help DC.
"No, because she's on a green kick lately and won't take anything that's not electronic." DC said with a sigh. "I have to be at the senate in ten minutes, where the hell did I put it?"
"Check your planner, maybe you wrote yourself a note." Washington offered. DC nodded and grabbed his leather bound planner off the desk. He started flipping through the pages looking for any sign of where he put the bill when he paused.
"That's odd." DC muttered.
"What is?" Washington asked looking up.
"I have nothing on the 6th." DC whispered showing the state his planner, revealing a blank page for the sixth of January. Washington looked up from his papers nervously as DC flipped between two pages.
"Yeah see, I've got something for the 5th and the 7th, but nothing on the 6th. That's odd-ah!" DC hissed grabbing the back of his head.
"DC?" Washington gasped, jumping up.
"No...I'm fine....just a headache." DC groaned. A few tense seconds passed before he let the back of his head go and look back at his planner.
"Must've not been an important day." DC said with a shrug closing the planner and putting it back on his desk.
"Yeah. Not important." Washington said with a weak smile before they continued to search for the bill.
Two days later, DC was having coffee out in the kitchen with Massachusetts and Louisiana when he suddenly snapped.
"THE COUNTING." DC yelled.
"That's an odd way to say Pats are going to win the superbowl." Massachusetts muttered.
"No! The other day, my planner was completely empty on the 6th, which is really weird unless one you just clear my schedule because 'I need to rest'." DC explained, glancing at his boyfriend.
"It's true sha." Louisiana said with a smile.
"But the 6th was the counting! The senate and congress counted the votes!" DC pointed out. His smile dropped when he saw the faces of his boyfriend's brother and boyfriend stare at him with a mixture of shock and sadness on their faces.
"What?"
"Do you...." Massachusetts swallowed. "Remember the counting?"
"Y'know what....I don't." DC muttered picking up his coffee mug. "I remember....oh yeah IDC was yelling at me because I picked my old red tie and not the one Texas got me for Christmas. Then nothing." Louisiana watched his boyfriend take a sip of his coffee then swallow.
"God I hope I didn't fall asleep, that'd be awfully shitty of me.....OH NOT AGAIN." DC yelled clutching the back of his head. Massachusetts and Louisiana both jumped up as DC hissed through the pain.
"Careful sha, careful. Sit down now. You know you shouldn't be drinking all this coffee." Louisiana whispered as Massachusetts took the mug out of DC's hand.
"God these headaches are weird." DC muttered as Louisiana made him sit down. "Almost as weird as Dia actually losing his voice...."
"I heard that!" came a weak reply from the living room as Florida looked over the couch and glared at his boyfriend.
