Notes: They are on the skeld. Give me feedback on spelling errors and stuff. Captain plans birthdays super early because his invites are handwritten. Um cursing and fluff.

"Stoner!" Captain called. 

He hadn't heard from the green crewmate all week. He was worried he got too high and passed out somewhere.

"STONER!" He called again. 

He grabbed his phone to call his number though it was not answered. It rang and Captain could hear Stoner's phone ringing close to the cafeteria so he kept calling. He ran to the sound and like he suspected, Stoner was passed out but, he wasn't high. Captain smelled no scent of drugs or weed anywhere, which surprised him. Captain studied Stoner with a confused look on his face. 

Why was he sleeping on the ground? He did see, however, a bottle that said 'Can't sleep? Have a treat.' Guess he couldn't sleep, He thought. 

He carefully picked up Stoner, trying not to wake him. Captain was scolding himself about blushing but he couldn't help himself. 

How often do you get to pick up a guy? He carried Stoner back to his sleeping quarters and laid him on his bed. 

"Good night." Captain whispered. He headed back to his room to think quietly.

I can't believe it. He couldn't sleep and he didn't ask for help from me! I can't believe him. Whatever, least I have Player's birthday plans to look forward to. What are we gonna do for his birthday? Pin the tail on the donkey? Surprise birthday? 

You shouldn't do anything for him. He missed your best friend picnics. Said a voice in Captain's head. 

That's not true. He's just busy with stuff. 

He has no time to mess with you. 

He does have time for me, he just spends it with- Captain started to give in. With Veteran. It's always Veteran. No time for Captain but there's time for Veteran. Why should I throw him a party? 

He'd probably rather not go even for his own birthday. 

Sucks for him 'cause he's not getting a party. Maybe from Veteran but not from me.

Captain fell asleep, letting the horrible truth settle in.

------

What? Stoner thought as he woke up. I fell asleep in the hall. Why am I here? Who brought me? He took a deep breath. Let's just think back to before, Stoner thought as he calmed down.

He couldn't sleep and he desperately needed it. He'd stayed up all week preparing for nothing really. He was just folding paper and crushing cans and smoking weed. He was just doing things with his hands because they couldn't stay still. He wondered about going to Captain but thought it would be weird to ask if he could help him sleep. Stoner thought Captain might find out about the way he felt around him. He thought Captain would ask him what he was doing all week and Stoner couldn't tell him he was smoking. He would not approve. So he took sleeping pills everyday that week, which did nothing till he swallowed the whole bottle.

"Oh shit!" He yelled then slapped his hand over his mouth. 

People are still sleeping, his mind said to him. Hope Captain didn't hear that. Cue sad trombone sound. Captain knocked on his door and he seemed less than cheerful. Don't say anything about the bottle, Stoner silently wished. 

Thing was, that bottle was empty and Stoner thought about "repurposing" it to hide things from the Captain. 

"What's up?" Stoner asked casually.
