The clock ticks, his fingers taps against his side, paranoia takes every second of his time. His head swivels to each side periodically, feeling like someone was watching him, when there was no one there. Shadows eyes go every which way, small pupils due to anxiety.

Shadow's phone goes off, breaking him out of his internal panic. Raising his phone with his shaky hands, not able to keep the phone  still. The message read in the upper middle of the screen, a small white rectangle with black letters.

Smiling fondly at the goofy message from Sneve, the message was barely intangible, let alone readable. The only two words that were actually clear was hey, and what, then the rest is just random letters shoved into random words.

Laughing at the continued texts after, as the texts after tried to fix the original one. Soon, Sneve got tired of this, and just had a very "normal" conversation. If normal there were a lot of typos, and random stuff included.

Talking about a ton of stuff, varying from animals, to recent stuff we did. Sneve wished goodnight as Shadow's phone shut off, Shadow fell asleep, smiling happily, not bothered, for once.

----------------

The move had gone well, only having a small internal panic at forgetting his phone.

Everyone was in the living room, some had even fallen asleep, due to the tired day. Shadow was laying against Sneve's shoulder, eyes droopy and trying not to fall asleep. "You can go to sleep, you'll be alright," letting out a sigh, Shadow smushes his face further into the other's shoulder.

Dozing off while smiling, feeling content to just lay next to Sneve.

Setting up his room, it was…relaxing. Purples and blacks being the main colors. A bed in one of the corners, a desk next to it, with a charger curling around a cool black dragon nightlight sticking out of its mouth along with fake purple fire.

A desk in the corner across the bed, the desk was a dark, oak, desk, that was pretty standard. On top of it, was a lamp with a movable stem weird thingy, with pens and pencils in a bottom thingy to hold things. Two drawers included in it, holding random notebooks, and other random stuff.

Shelves were on the walls, holding nicknacks, and other stuff.

Dark colored curtains hanged from the wall, having being lighten up by lights on the other side to maj it look cool

He's happy about the end result, having to have no help or anything with the higher up stuff.

Finishing setting up the last thing on one of the shelves, and stepping back smiling happily at everything in his room. Sighing, Shadow had just realized that well, he was hungry. Very hungry.

So, going out of the room, for some reason….it seemed like the hallway stretched on, and on, it was dark, very dark actually. Starting to get anxious, there seemed to be a light at the end, but it seemed….far away.

Closing his eyes, he walked quickly, every so often looking to see how close he was getting to the end. Once breaking through into the light, it was impossible for not to walk through the dark, the light switch was at the end.

Walking to the kitchen, Shadow thinks of the things he could make. Like spaghetti(I had spaghetti earlier and I had been craving it for so long), taking out noodles, a pan, and spaghetti sauce. Filling the pan with water, he placed it on the stove, turning the little knobs to turn the heat on.

Before doing anything else, he washes his hands, with a really nice soap that smells like flowers or something.

Waiting for the water to boil, his mind goes to different places. Taking out his phone in order for his mind to not go too far into the abyss. Shadow looked up every so often to make sure it didn't start to rapidly boil over. Once it started to actually boil, Shadow cut the top of the bag of spaghetti, and poured them in. Having the spaghetti slowly go down over time, using a spaghetti picker upper thingy to stir it.

Finishing making it, Shadow strained it, and put it on a plate. Before adding sauce, grabbing a fork from one of the drawers, he stuck it into the noodles.

Having about to pick up the plate, he realizes he has dishes. Sighing, he grabs the things he dirtied, and starts cleaning them.

Once finished with all the dishes, he washes his hands, goes back to his plate, picks it up and walks off.

The day it happened, he had just been drinking a glass of water, and had set it down. The only person in the same room was Sean. He was on his laptop editing something. Looking at something on his phone, he scrolled through something, before going to pick up his glass. The glass missed his glass just barely, and had caused it to fall down and spilled its contents onto one of Sean's Xbox controllers.

It all seemed to go in slow motion as the water was spilled, when it was, Sean immediately got up, closed his laptop, and went into the kitchen, and grabbed something. He came out with a roll of paper towels, tearing one of them before going over next to the spill.

Sean didn't talk through all of it, just cleaned up the spill. Anxiety spikes in his weird head, waiting to hear what Sean has to say, being awkward next to the couch.

".... I'm like that mad parent that doesn't say anything when you do something wrong, and then yells at you and you don't do what you did wrong. I have no idea if I had honestly said that right, but I'm still kinda mad, but it'll go away," Sean says, 'if it works' was unsaid.

A bit later, everything was back to normal, except that Shadow was in his room, crying his eyes out. Throat restricted, making it harder to breathe, making him slightly hyperventilate.

The door was knocked on, Shadow couldn't hear it as he was in his own little nightmare world. The door was opened, with Legundo standing in the doorway. Quickly, Legundo approaches slowly, in order to make sure that Shadow knows that he's approaching.

Settling on Shadow's bed, "Can I hug you?" As soon as those words left his mouth, Shadow jumped into his arms(I couldn't figure out how to add Sneve into this, so just…imagine that it wasn't in the request 😅).

"Match my breath, alright? In five, hold eight, release ten, repeat. Alright, let's do it again-" Shadows' breath evened out, as he eventually fell asleep.

(It is six am, I have not slept at all.
