Sleep is for People Who Care For Themselves

Techno wakes up to light streaming though the window of his borrowed bedroom. Unfortunately, it was not sunlight, just a soft, cool, moonlight. Sage.

    Realizing trying to sleep was futile, he grasp his phone for a scroll though Twitter, mostly just looking at art (because in his opinion, that was the least toxic side of Twitter).

    Do you think Will has anything in his anything in his fridge?  Probably not :(  Wouldn't hurt to check though, would it?

    And so up Techno went, on went decent clothes, and down to the kitchen he walked. Fridge was empty like he predicted (._.) So up the stairs, changing his clothes to something he would wear in public, grabbing his phone, back down the stairs, and on to the couch for the next few hours of staring at colorful shape arranged to look like specific things.

    Until he receives a Twitter dm from a user called "red_Jay". How he even caught the was astounding, considering he seen hundreds (give or take) of similar notifications since he started scrolling though Twitter. Some how the name seems familiar... Oh I am an IDIOT, he was wearing a red hoodie and his name is JASON. Well you can't really blame him, he's got about two hours of sleep.

Opening the message it reads, "Um, hi?" Another message a few seconds later, "It's Jason, by the way." Techno quietly blows air out of his nose, and sparing the other any more awkward waiting, he quickly typed out, "Hello :)" Smiley face and all.

"Oh thank god, you weren't a fever dream."

    Odd wording, but okay.

"Yeah, are you okay?"

"I am fine enough, why are you up?"

"The effects of the ice cream wore off."

"Oh"

Techno, for some reason, decide to send him a random bird picture he had saved on his phone. It was beautiful looking one with the colors red and blue with a splash of white.

"Bird"

"Aw yis, patriot bird."

Techno simply responds with the American flag emoji, the red heart emoji, and the text "Americans be like". There was no response for a while, so Techno goes back to scrolling though Twitter dejectedly. The second the notification from "red_Jay" showed up, he clicked so fast, he almost broke his finger nail.

"I laugh so hard at your stupid little joke, I dropped my phone and chipped the case."

The only suitable response to this was of course:

"F"

Which also leads to Techno making fun of Jason's terrible taste in phone cases, like how did he manage to find one so crappy that it chipped after falling off of a bed? It's black magic, I tell you, black magic.

And Jason tells him, that's no, he wasn't on a bed he was actually on the roof of a building and it had fallen onto someone balcony.

Which of course leads to Techno questioning why the F*CK was JASON on the F*CKING ROOF of a F*CKING BUILDING (also where the f*ck did he get that phone and phone case??!? Like what the h*ell!!)

Which naturally leads to a discussion of how squirrels could survive terminal velocity, which, of course, leads to questioning religion, which leads to talking horror movies, leading to video games, and then a deep discussion about why is an orange called and orange, but a banana isn't called yellow.

Techno watches the dots pop on screen, indicating Jason's typing. I don't know how Twitter works please don't sue me. 05/28/2021 He can feel is body getting restless, wanting to stand up and walk around, or at least be able to scroll threw fan art again while he's waiting. But he doesn't do either, because his mind is tired and he doesn't want Jason to think he lost interest and shut down. He can suffer a little boredom if it mean his new friend doesn't think he hates him.

At least that's what Techno thought. He keeps seeing the little dots appear and disappear, and his mind beings to wander. Is Jason really that terrible of a speller that he needs to rewrite his words a million time before spellcheck knows what he's typing? Oh God, I hope he uses spellcheck, unlike some other terrible speller I know. (I'm looking at you Skeppy, like wtf, even I don't know what you are trying to say half the time.)

...

What if I somehow made him regret talking to me and now he's trying to tell me that he doesn't want to be friends anymore?

    An old familiar panic grips at his heart. To which he manages to shove down quickly, surprising himself greatly. Character development.

    He settles down to watch the dots, trying not to think of anything at all.
