You Need Sleep

John couldn’t remember the last time he had this much trouble getting to sleep and it was seriously pissing him off.

Lack of sleep was causing him to become very agitated, John knew this and was biting his tongue so he didn’t snap at his brothers. John Dory was trying to be nicer and not so bossy.

John figured the best way to prevent him from biting his brothers heads off was to distance himself from them. And he couldn’t bother them with his grumpy behavior.

JD only coming out of his room for food and coffee, coffee being pretty much the only thing he was drinking.

He knew he needed to sleep but it seemed impossible, nothing seemed to be working. John laid in his bed, trying to make himself fall asleep when someone softly knocked on his door. JD quietly groaned, flinging his arm over his eyes before saying ‘come in’ to whoever was at the door.

“Hey John, we were all gonna watch a movie and I- we were wondering if you’d like to join us?” Floyd asked, John peeking at him from under his arm.

“Yeah, fine. It’s not like I’m doing anything important anyway.” John Dory said bitterly as he sat up.

Floyd noticed the bags under John’s eyes, was he having trouble sleeping?

They went downstairs in silence, JD seeming annoyed with everything.

Floyd and John walked into the living room, the other three greeting them as they walked in.

“Oh look, the old man was awake.” Clay joked before taking a swig of his soda.

Bruce noticed John’s scowl deepen and how he didn’t even reply, just sat on the couch next to Branch.

Bruce nudged Clay with his foot, silently telling him to cut it out. Clay just gave him a confused look. Bruce looked at John Dory, noticing how he seemed to grind his teeth.

Once all of them were sat and settled, they started the movie. Floyd and Bruce both took notice of John Dory’s silence, he usually had some smartass comment or laughed at the dumb jokes being made in the movie.

Floyd and Bruce shared a look, almost silently communicating. Floyd looked over at John. John Dory didn’t seem to really be watching the movie, his eyes slowly closing before snapping back open. Floyd studied John a bit longer before turning back to the movie, not quite sure of how to help right now.

The movie ended, JD stood and started walking back upstairs.

“Aw, does the old man need to get to bed before his bedtime?” Clay teased as he picked up his trash.

“Oh I didn’t realize I had to run everything by you Clay. I’m so sorry Mr. Serious boy that I’m tired and want to go to bed. God damn, leave me alone for once. I’m sick of hearing your stupid jabs at me.” John replied angrily.

Clay seemed taken back for a moment before retorting back with his own insult. JD stopped walking up the stairs, Bruce could see his face turn into a scowl. If nobody stopped this it was going to turn ugly for sure.

“Clay, chill. I can relate, I’m kinda tired too. I was probably gonna head to bed soon as well.” Bruce said, placing a hand on Clay’s shoulder to try and calm him down. Clay brushed his hand off, taking a few steps towards John Dory.

“No, it's not just about that, he’s been being an asshole for like the past week. We won’t let him boss around anymore so now he has to be an asshole about it.” Clay shouted. John gritted his teeth, trying not to feed into the clear anger fueled insult but his own anger getting the better of him.

“Oh of course. Paint me like the bad guy because I’m always the bad guy. I get so much joy from bossing you around Clay, it’s purely for my enjoyment. Did you ever think that maybe I’m being an asshole for a different reason, one that HAS FUCKING NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!” John Dory yelled down at Clay from his spot on the stairs.
