[ACE POV]

I arrive at my apartment after wondering about for a while, 2-D lives a few streets down, so I figured it'd take longer than normal to get home. I walk to my room, messy as usual, I almost never have enough motivation to clean, so I've gotten used to how much of a shit hole the room could get. I flop down on my bed and glance over at the clock beside me. 10:15 already? God time goes by fast.

I wasn't tired in the slightest, so I decided to just scroll through social media until I randomly get a text.

Damn, didn't take him for an insomniac, but I shouldn't judge, or even assume, even if I did judge, I'd look like a huge hypocrite. Besides, I'm down to chat, got nothing much to do.

I stare down at my phone, god I looked like I was using sarcasm or something. I felt bad, what if I accidentally made him upset? God damnit I'm stupid aren't—

*Bzzt Bzzt* *Bzzt Bzzt*

"Oh, shit!" the vibration startled me, making me drop my phone. I quickly pick it up and answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ace!" the voice responds, it was 2-D "You good? It said you were typing for a little while, and I guess my anxiety got to me." he giggled

"Nah I'm good," I respond, hoping it'll calm him down, "Just thinking, nothing special!"

"Oh, thank god, my anxiety kinda fucked me up for a bit there." He replied, I could hear his voice shake a bit, was he really that worried about me?

I shook that thought off and simply calmed my voice "Don't worry 2-D, I'm alright. Are you okay from earlier?"

He paused, he had paused for a good 2 seconds, and said "Yeah, I'm fine, I've been through worse."

I knew what "worse" meant, he must've been referring to the car crashes that knocked out his eyes.

"If you say so 'D. I just wanted to check in, since I didn't know if you'd patched it up better than I did" I sighed

He giggled for a sec, then laughed "No, no Ace you did fine! I still have the plaster you gave me on the cut!"

This time, I had paused, for only a little, his laugh was adoring, I could tell how genuine it was, his laugh spread to me, we laughed for a couple of minutes, then we moved from one topic to another, and eventually, I looked over at the clock. 3:06 AM, oh god, it's late, then I hear a little snore.

2-D had fallen asleep on the call, I simply hung up to let him sleep, then I headed to bed myself.
