Midnights Mayhem

Lover

I was stirring a large bowl of cookie dough as Rep and Debut walked through the front door, their arms laden with shopping bags.

'Hey! Did you two have fun?' I asked, licking dough off my fingers.

'Rep's actually kinda cool. She punched someone' Debut answered happily before heading towards her bedroom.

'What!' I said, turning to my girlfriend.

'Ok that's not really how I would've gone about that, but whatever. They were  from Debut's school'-

'YOU PUNCHED A CHILD?'

'They were being bitches and bullying Debut! It was lucky I got there in time, actually'.

'Rep, we've talked about this. You don't need to resort to violence all the time! Especially not with children'.

'Love, I promise, they were going to hurt Debut. It was horrible, they were just making fun of her the whole time and then one of them started to get really close to her and you could see she was scared! I had to intervene' Rep rambled.

I sighed.

'Well, I trust you. If you felt that things were going to get too bad, I'm glad you stepped in. We're going to have to work on the punching thing though'.

'Yes ma'am'.

'Love you, and thanks for looking after Debut'.

'I love you more, and you don't need to thank me'.

I reached up and kissed Rep's cheek.

'I'm glad you too had fun, it's quite lonely here without you'.

'Say less, I'm never leaving the house without you again'.

'you turnip, I'm just glad you're back'.

'Did you just call me a turnip?'

'Nope! Do you want to help me roll out these cookies?'

Rep chuckled before replying.

'Sure, I'll just wash my hands'.

'Yay!'

I turned back to the counter and started to make small balls out of dough and place them on a baking tray. After a moment I felt long arms snake around my waist and Rep's lips find my neck.

'I missed you' she murmured from the crook of my neck.

'I missed you too baby'.

I leant my head on Rep's and relaxed, the warm feeling made me smile and I closed my eyes from relaxation.

'Ok babe you have you help me with these cookies, they aren't going to bake themselves' I murmured after a minute.

'Fine, but we're doing something together after this'.

'Of course! Ooh, can I paint your nails?'

'Sure, they really need a touch-up'.

'Yes! Ok, let's put these in and then go to my room'.

Midnights

I can't help it, it's normal for me to smoke every afternoon, and it didn't feel right while I did it, but now that I've stopped myself, it also doesn't feel right. Recently all my weed had disappeared from my bedroom, which I suspected 1989 had something to do with. I sat on my bed, my head in my hands just staring blankly at the wall and trying not to surrender to the desire for some sort of substance.

Finally, I gave in and started rummaging through my closet for any leftover drug only to find my entire room had been stripped of the shit.

I racked my brain for some kind of substitute when the medicine box came to mind. Pills were just a healthy drug, weren't they? So basically, I could just pop several, it would satisfy my need and I would be getting healthy! It sounded like a win-win in my eyes so I walked down to the bathroom and started to look through the box when none other than 1989 poked her head in the door.

'Oh, hey Midnights, what are you looking for?'

'Why do you care?'

'It was just a question'.

'Nothing. Um, headache'.

'Right, well, there should be some stuff in there, just don't have too many please'.

'I know what I'm doing, piss off'.

'Ok ok, I'm leaving'.

1989 walked out and left me to keep looking. I quickly came across a package labelled Swiftenol: Treats headaches, abdominal pain and migraines. Pharmaceutically approved drug.

Seemed pretty good so I shoved it in my hoodie pocket and put everything back in the medicine box before slipping back up to my room. I opened the bottle, it was one of those where you had to push down before you turned, guess they should've made it harder for people like me.

I placed one of the small pills on my tongue and sent it down my throat with a sip of water. I'm not sure if I was expecting an immediate reaction, but I didn't feel any relief as it went down so I swallowed a few more. And then I couldn't stop.

AN: Yay more drama is starting! I really wanted to shine some more light on the other characters and we haven't had a lot of Midnights in the limelight so there ya go.
