Everyone Needs Sleep [HC 9] (Fluff) {Xisuma & Joehills}

It's more than just X and Joe, but they are the main two. Dadsuma, and therapist Joe. Both trying to get others to sleep, while not sleeping themselves.

--------

"Hey..." Xisuma ran his fingers through the brunette's hair, "Go to sleep."

"But, X!!!" Scar protested, "I have so much work to do- I need to work on Scarland-"

"Go to sleep. From what Cub told me, you haven't slept in a week! You won't be able to get work done if you don't have any energy." Xisuma mentioned.

"I'm going better than G..."

"I'll talk with Grian after this, okay? I'll make sure he goes to sleep, if you do."

Scar sighed, "Fineeeee, Dadsuma..."

"Grian." Xisuma pulled the short boy away from his work, "When did you sleep last?"

"Huh...?" Grian blinked a few times, "Why does it matter?"

"You need sleep. I just want to make sure you're healthy, okay?"

"But-"

"Sleep. Come on, I'll tuck you in?"

"And bedtime story..?"

"Sure."

"Tango! I know you want to get this closer to finished, but you need to rest!" Xisuma forced the blue haired phoenix away from the huge project.

"Xisuma, let me work on it! There is so much to do!" Tango protested.

"Go. To. Sleep. Or do I need to call Zed and Impulse?"

"Fine..."

Xisuma slipped down into his chair, pulling up a few admin screens. His eyes strained against the light. But he had to get work done...

"Xisuma..." The admin didn't turn his head at the sound of the voice.

"Xisuma, you need to go to bed." Footsteps were heard, but X tried to ignore the poet, "X, I know you can hear me... You need sleep. You get too focused on making sure everyone else sleeps, and you don't go to sleep yourself."

"Joe, I'm fine."

"Nope, you are not!" Joe tugged on the admin's chair, forced him away from his desk. "Sleep."

"I don't need to."

"Yes, you do. Everyone needs sleep."

"Then, how 'bout you go to sleep?"

Joe gave an offended look, "Don't turn this on me!"

"Joe. Go to sleep."

"No, you go to sleep."

Xisuma sighed, a small yawn joint with it. "Fine... Just need to do something first." Xisuma reached towards his desk, Joe stopping him.

"Stop with trying to work."

"I'm not. I'm trying to grab my communicator to message someone."

Joe sighed, handing the communicator that sat on the table to Xisuma. Xisuma typed for a few minutes, before putting it down. "Now, go to bed."

"Got it, got it."

"Joe." The poet jumped at the sound of a certain redhead's voice. "Cleo- haha- you scared me, Cleo!"

Cleo walked over to the boy who had a notebook on his lap. She grabbed the notebook, despite the brunette's protests. "Cleo, give me that! Just let me finish the poem, and then we can talk!"

Cleo slipped the book onto a nearby shelf, before forcing Joe to sit down again. "Joe, when did you sleep last?"

"Wha- what's this coming from?" Joe questioned, before quickly saying, "I slept a few nights again-"

"Joe Hills, be honest with me."

"A week or more... I don't remember."

"Go to sleep. Now."

"Cleo! You can do this to me!"

"Yes I can." Cleo grabbed his arm, Joe letting out a yelp as he was lifted from his seat. They dragged him towards a nearby room, slamming the door open. They pushed him onto the bed, tosing the blanket over him. "Go. To. Sleep."

"C-Cleo-"

"Go to sleep. Now. Or do I need to make sure you sleep forever?"

"Cleo... I'm not in the mood for threats..." Joe mumbled.

Cleo sighed, sitting down on the end of the bed, "Joe, please. You need to sleep. I can about you. Y'know that, right?"

"I know..." Joe mumbled, "Goodnight, Cleo..."
