Onion's POV:

I was having the dream again, my parents yelling at me, shunning me...me running away...falling down into a pit of darkness...shadows of people with glowing eyes surrounding me, staring at me with faces of disgust...and then a long scaly creature emerges from the crowd,, a dragon with glitchy neon outlines... the background changes to a forest...or something, then the creature attacks me, and then, before I can see the rest of my dream.....I wake up.

Chef was sitting near me with a worried expression, I nearly jumped off the couch I was sleeping on,"Oh thank god you're awake," he said wiping his forehead. "Sorry for the scare, you looked like you were having that dream again." I sit myself up and let out a deep breath "Yeah, the same stupid-ass nightmare I always have," I sigh, "I still don't know what the ending is supposed to mean, or if that even IS the ending. I'm too much of a coward to stay asleep and find out." Chef pats my back "Hey! You are nowhere near a coward!" He says with a quiet but encouraging tone. "You're shaking like crazy, how about we stop by a cafe and get you something to calm your nerves a bit?" I shake my head and let out light laugh, "A cafe? Who the hell goes to a cafe at 2am in the morning?" "Listen One, it's open 24 hours a day and Two, I'm not taking no for an answer" he said with he's evil grin, I knew there was no escape at this point, he always found a way to make me do what he wanted. "Ugh, fine," I say. We put on our shoes, take a key and quietly sneak out to the nearest cafe.

We order Two Coffees, A muffin for Chef and a chocolate chip cookie for me. Chef insists on paying and I let him, saves me cash so it's a win win, when we take a seat, Chef takes a sip of his latte, getting whipped cream under his nose, and then attempts to lick it off, "There's such thing as napkins you know" I say handing him one, he laughs and wipes his face, I take a sip of my own coffee, bitter but sweet at the same time just the way I like it.

It eventually gets pretty quiet, "Thanks for trying to help calm me down" I say suddenly trying to break the awkward silence, "Trying? Did coming here not help?" He says with a slight disappointment in his tone, "No! No," I say waving my hands, "What I meant was, thank you for caring about me." He smiled and took another sip of his coffee, "You're my best friend Onion, I'm going to be here when you need me because that's what good friends do" he smiled at me and I smiled back. I liked moments like these, when I could hang out with my best friend, just him and I. I felt more myself when I was hanging out with him, a little more free in a way.

We sneak back in, though we didn't go back to sleep, we had just had coffee after all. We ended up watching a marathon of our now favorite show until 6 in the morning. We were tired as hell in the morning but it was fun while it lasted. Eventually it became a routine, every night we'd go for a coffee or something else if we felt like trying something new. Though we would go to bed earlier than the first night to avoid getting tired in the morning again. This update break was probably the best week I've ever had. I wish I could have days like this forever.
