It was around four A.M. when Danny had woken from his sleep, he had only gotten a few hours of rest. Danny sat up and rubbed all the crusties out of his eyes. He gasped softly as he remembered the night before. ~ 

  The group of 5 had played Flicker until late, late as in 1 A.M. for Danny. Harper and Lilah had been jokingly arguing most of the time when they played, while Marco and Bailey just seemed to be running around in circles around each other in game. That left Danny to do whatever he wanted solo. He never got a bad role in the game, unfortunately, but he didn't mind. He played Lofi in the back of the vc to chill the mood. Danny adjusted his headphones and leaned into his computer screen, tiredly. He turned the volume of the voice chats down so he'd have the Lofi louder. He smiled softly at his screen as he looked at all of his friends playing. It was surreal thinking about how all these friends could be miles apart but so close to him.

This was his mind just spiraling now. He sighed and took his headphones off, going to change and brush his teeth. Once he got back, he was too sleep deprived to get back on, instead he just flopped onto his bed lazily and fell asleep. ~

Danny sprung up out of his bed and to his computer chair, his computer was dim, but still on. He saw that he was disconnected from the game but still in VC. He closed out of Roblox and felt his PC basically burning up. He groaned, annoyed, before hearing a slight noise coming from his headphones. He eagerly put the headphones on and listened to the Lofi still playing before hearing a voice that practically made him jump out of his chair!

"DANNY! Fucking hell, you're finally awake now? Jesus christ I thought you would be out forever, why'd you fall asleep on us like that?"
Harper sounded mad, but he always was.

"It's the weekend and we all decided to stay awake but of fucking course I was the only one to actually pull through. You dumbasses don't realize that I have work today. Waste of my night. Lilah ditched me an hour ago so I just decided to wait on you." Danny smiled. "You waited for me?" - "Did I not just say that?" Harper sounded confused, why'd it matter to him that he waited? They were friends after all. " Yeah yeah, I'm sorry Harper. Just got tired. " Danny held back his small urge to giggle. He found it cute that the anger issues guy decided to wait on him to wake up.

Danny closed out of the Lofi tab and yawned. "Hey, did you guys play any other games without me?" ; "Yeah, we played some stupid fucking horror game. 'Bewildered' or something, scared the shit out of me and Lilah got a kick out of that. I got instant karma though, it was great." Danny giggled, this was an appropriate time for laughter. He loved to hear about Lilah and Harpers tiffs. They always seemed to have something interesting happening between the two. He was more of a third wheel in his eyes,, but he didn't want it to be that way. He talked to Lilah a lot more than Harper, which isn't a bad thing, no, but in a way, he wished the two would talk more. He just enjoyed his company, that was all. And his voice, and his style, and his attitude —

"DANNY! Are you fucking listening at all? I've gotta get ready for work, going to go make some expresso. I'll message the GC during break." Harper stood up. "OH! Okay Harper, uh, I'll talk to you later then!" Harper closed out of the discord call and left his room.
Danny frowned as he watched his pfp turn into grey. It almost made him genuinely upset, he wished they could've had a longer chat. .

Danny stretched back in his chair, thinking about what he would do today. . That was decided for him by his loud mother calling him downstairs. He left the call, ending it and went down. "COMING!!"
