Sleep (Eraser x Pen)

Bad filler LMAO

Eraser sat with his head down on his desk, waiting for the final bell to ring so he could go home and try to sleep. He grumbled. Why did he never sleep when he needed to? It seemed like the only time he got any good shut-eye was when he was expected to stay awake and alert, like in this lecture. Eraser wasn't asleep yet, but his eyelids became heavy. A quick nap. Yeah, just a... Small...

"Eraser!" The aforementioned shot up. "Wuh? Where- why is everyone gone?" Eraser looked up at the voice that had just yelled at him. Pen stood, looming over Eraser with a soft smile on his face, his eyes ever so slightly laced with concern. "This is the third time this month you've fallen asleep in class, and we're only ten days in, dude." "Yeah, yeah, sorry," Eraser groaned as he took Pen's outstretched hand and pulled himself out of his seat. He quickly gathered his belongings and left the lecture room, Pen trailing closely behind him. They arrived at their shared dorm and Eraser lay down in his bed, taking out his phone.

"You know that's why you don't sleep, right?" Pen grumbled, pointing at Eraser's phone. Eraser shrugged and turned his phone off, setting it down on the nightstand. "You should go to sleep."

"I can't, still need to make-" "We can order fast food, I have money." Eraser chuckled. "You're still in debt, though, right?" Pen smiled. "It'll be fine. Get some shut-eye, I'm gonna go get McDonald's." "Alright."

Eraser's eyes followed Pen as he left the dorm, closing the door behind him. Eraser groaned and flipped onto his other side. He was so, so tired, but he couldn't sleep. He opted for laying in his bed with his eyes closed, sleep refusing to take him in its warm embrace. Before he knew it, Eraser heard the sound of keys jingling and the door opening.

"Eraser, I'm home." "Yeah, yeah, I'm getting up." Pen sat next to him on the bed, gently pushing him back down. "You didn't sleep at all, didn't you?" Eraser shook his head. "Can't." Pen rummaged in the plastic Walmart bag (why did he go to the store?) and pulled out a gummy. "Melatonin, it should help you, right?" "You didn't have to..." Pen waved him off. "It's fine!"

He took the gummy and ate it before laying back down. "What'd you get me?" "Chicken nuggets. Do you wanna eat here?" "Yeah."

The two ate their meal in silence. Around 30 minutes passed, and Eraser began to feel his eyelids becoming heavier. "Tired?" Pen asked, rubbing the other's back. "Yeah," Eraser mumbled back, laying back down. Pen lay down next to him without another word. Eraser suddenly remembered when he and Pen would have sleepovers and share a bed. He didn't know why Pen was laying next to him as he drifted off in his own bed for the first time in forever.

But he wouldn't be lying if he said he liked it.
