It was around midnight...or three in the morning? Bryan hadn't kept up with the time, he was too busy to worry what time it was. The brunette had been sitting at his desk for hours now, he would get up and stretch his legs when he wanted another cup of coffee, well when he could hardly stay awake anymore.
Bryan typed on his laptop the keyboard clicking each time he pressed on a key. The clicks and an occasional yawn would feel the smell cubicle with noise. Bryan's dark brown eyes were red from staring at the laptop screen for so long.
He thought about his childhood, the childhood he never had, losing his father, his stepfather making him forget about his real dad and brother, how much he hated his mother for letting that happen, how much he hates them both for not giving him a childhood like a child should have. He hated Anna for not accepting that he was working with the Fazbear company, and Amiri for not standing up for him. He also hated them for never trying to reach out once, not even when he first moved out, no 'Bryan is everything ok?' No 'do you need anything?' No 'did you move everything ok?' Not even a simple 'hi' or 'hello.' But all of a sudden they're messaging him like crazy. Bryan's thoughts were intrepid with his phone buzzing.
Bryan hummed as he picked it up expecting it to be his 'parents' trying to actually reach out like the other 17 messages he has yet to even open, but he was surprised to see Vendi's name Bryan hesitated and decided not to respond or even read it, he didn't have the time to feel guilty for working all day and night and not being there with Vendi or Gregory.
Bryan's eyes got heavy and started to shut as the sleep finally caught up to him; he slowly laid his head on the desk drifting off to sleep. Minutes passed and then hours, Vendi was starting to get worried he sent that message 3 hours ago and Bryan hadn't even opened the message, sure Bryan might have been sleeping but Vendi knew better than that. He walked in front of Pizzaplex that should have opened an hour ago, which worried the blonde even more, he walked closer to the restaurant listening to the people in the mall kids running around their parents trying to catch up to them, people talking and walking. The blonde took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant calling out to Bryan, "Bryan?" He walked into the small office hearing softly and steady breathing, he let out a sigh of relief creeping to the cubicle's doors trying not to be too loud, then seeing Bryan peacefully asleep as he leaned on the door frame.
Vendi walked over to Bryan, after admiring him for a moment, cleaning up the desk, placing the papers in their folders, neatly stacking the rest, he shut the laptop and carefully moved it to the side. Bryan let out a small groan as he buried his face further in his folded arms, Vendi smiled fondly at this small movement and placed his hand on Bryan's back. "Hello Bryan," Vendi softly spoke so he didn't scare Bryan, but failed as Bryan quietly sat up his deep brown wide, "sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Vendi admitted sheepishly and leaned on the desk. Bryan sighed and relaxed, yawning as he got up and collected his stuff, carefully placing his newly cleaned up paper, thanks to Vendi, into his bag along with his laptop and a few other items. Vendi watched Bryan, his eyes soft but also concerned for the lack of rest Bryan had been getting.
"Bryan," Vendi spoke abruptly, breaking the silence. Bryan jumped a little and stared at him almost like a deer in headlights. Vendi smiled at how adorable Bryan was and cleared his throat, "you look tired..." Vendi trailed off, Bryan grumbled and looked away slightly annoyed cause now Vendi's was going try to get him to sleep and the brunette really just wanted to finish working in his apartment he had just moved into a couple weeks ago.
It was a small apartment with one bathroom and two bedrooms, one for himself and the small bedroom for Gregory, though Gregory hasn't been in the apartment yet he's been with his uncle Dylan. The living room was just big enough for a couch Tv and desk, which is where Bryan spent most of his time. The kitchen was basically a small hallway with a counter sink and dishwasher on one side and the stove and fridge on the other side.
"I'm fine." Bryan muttered, and put the bag on his shoulder.
Vendi's hand grabbed Bryan's upper arm before he could walk out, "Bryan. You haven't been getting much sleep it's not good for you, just-" before he could finish Bryan snapped.
"Vendi I'm fine! I'm tired of everyone trying to tell me to sleep. I need to finish my work. I need to... I have to." Bryan's voice breaking at the last sentence, his eyes stung with tears threatening to spill. Vendi stood in front of him with sorrow in his eyes.
Vendi held Bryan's hands, letting him cool off for a moment before finishing what he was saying, "I was going to say take the day off, you don't have to sleep, just relax..." Vendi's hands cupped the brunette's cheeks and softly smiled, "I don't like seeing you stressed darling." The blonde pressed a sweet and loving kiss to Bryan's cheek. This small gesture shouldn't have made Bryan blush as much as it did, maybe it was the lack of sleep, but it made Bryan's entire face heat up. Vendi gave him a sweet smile and rested his hands on Bryan's hips, "I'll help you finish what you were working on last night, and then you and I will take the day off." Vendi offered the slightly shorter male.
Bryan nodded, laying his head on the tallers shoulder wrapping his arms around Vendi's neck, he buried his face in the blonde's neck and mumbled, "ya... that sounds nice..." Bryan trailed off, releasing just how tired he was, and how warm Vendi was, "I think I'd like a small nap first."
Vendi felt Bryan relaxing even more, he could feel a small smile form on Bryan's lips against his neck, "that sounds perfect," Vendi agreed smiling.
