i had just gotten home from work and was so beyond exhausted. between working and gaming and streaming and attending college, my time to spend with people got hard.

i worked at the local subway near my campus in Orlando. i streamed at least once a week to once every two weeks. it used to be more but with the way my boyfriend streams, after we moved in together my streaming schedule was toast. don't get me wrong we both game often, we just dont stream it as much.

i was studying computer science as my major and animation as my minor. if you don't already know, having a major and a minor is very challenging. it took up so much of my time that by the end of the week i had dark bags under my eyes.

that day is today.

it is Friday. were in the middle of a fucking heatwave too. it's unbearable. luckily we have AC, unlike the dreamnotfound fanfic Heatwaves. god i loved making fun of him for those.

"Hey, Mara." nick greeted from the couch. i gave a lazy smile and dropped my things on the bar in the kitchen. I had no energy. "Clay's actually streaming for once."

i fucking hated that knowledge. when clay streams, he usually streams for such a long time.

"Claire is with him too." he stated with a knowing smile. i whined as i picked up Patches off the ground and walked to the couch. i plopped down and laid my head in nick's lap. i was so drained, mentally and physically.

"Im getting water! don't fuck up my stream!" i heard clay shout. my eyes were drifting closed as nick yawned above me.

"Mar, i'm going to bed get up."

"No. comfy. stay." i said softly, just wanting to sleep.

"Your boyfriend is getting water, go cuddle him." he said in an annoyed tone, but made no efforts of getting up. he actually started running his fingers through my hair before throwing a blanket over me.

"Need some help nick?" clay asked. i heard his voice and wanted so desperately to fall into his embrace and just sleep. but he was streaming in front of thousands of people. the viewers knew we were roommates and always suspected something more than just said, but nothing was confirmed.

"Nah, if you want her take her but im good to sit here until you finish streaming." he said with another yawn.

"It won't be long, thank you."

"No problem." nick said, saluting him as usual. i didn't need to be awake to know that. after a while he came back out and kneeled down in front of me.

"Carefully slide out, i'll take her back to my room." clay said softly. i loved his voice when it was soft.

"Hey, Mara darling." clay said once nick said his goodnites. i whined softly, only feeling the leather couch beneath my head. "Let's go to bed baby."

he picked me up and carried me to our shared room, only the LEDS being on a dimmed purple. he knew that colour helped lull me to sleep. why it did, i couldn't tell you. 

"I miss you." he spoke softly, laying me on the bed. "I feel like we should just take a break from everything and spend some one on one time together."

"I miss you too." i replied. i genuinely did, we'd barely spent any time together lately and its so frustrating.

"Can we have an us day tomorrow, please?" 

"Babe, i have work." 

"Call out sick, Mara, please." 

"Fine, only because im so fucking drained. fucking Trevor has me covering all of Tessa's shifts and its so annoying." I rambled, plugging my phone into the charger. Clay stripped himself of his shirt. he was left in plaid pajama pants and he got under the covers. he crawled toward me and laid in between my legs, resting his head on my chest. nights like these i always looked forward too.
