Star slept a lot. It was the only time when the world might leave him alone for a little bit and his mind would stop tormenting him. He knew it was because he had clinical crippling depression.
Everyone knew that.
And when he was sleeping, it either ended in one of three ways: he'd wake up still exhausted, he'd wake up after being shaken out of a nightmare, or Connie would come wake him up so he didn't sleep all day everyday.
"Star?"
He didn't answer, hoping she might sigh and go away like she does sometimes.
"You've been asleep for four hours," She informed him and sat on their bed.
"S'not enough. Come back later."
"You're not going to be able to sleep tonight." She trailed her fingers over his cheek gently so to keep him from falling back asleep.
"Mmm... I never have trouble sleeping, Berry. I could sleep 24 hours straight if you'd just let me." He grabbed her wrist and slid her hand to his hair so she would rub that too.
She giggled and scratched at his scalp. "You do know that people who sleep too much have a higher chance of dying, right?"
"Then let me die, it's the least you can do."
She leaned down and whispered in his ear something that made his eyes shoot open and his cheeks redden. "See? That's more like it."
"Didn't you already shower?" He chuckled.
"Yes, but maybe I want another one. Maybe," She gasped and backed out the door. "Maybe I missed a spot."
Star looked longingly at his bed as he followed her out. "I'll be back in an hour and a half tops."
