Little wanderers

huh?

Fluff?

TW:pill use

I ended up sleeping on the couch again last night. Though, I didn't get much sleep. I sat up, my mind still racing about the whole robot car thing. It was still so confusing. I stood up and began to walk to the kitchen. My head hurt once again, so I had to take more Advil. I grabbed the pill bottle off of the counter, opened it, and grabbed a Monster from the fridge. I swallowed the pill with the help of the drink, then chugged the rest of the drink. I already knew that was a bad idea but I didn't care. I waited for the pill's effects to kick in, my foot tapping against the floor beneath me impatiently. I almost didn't even notice that Sharky was behind me. "Corvus, you okay?" I heard Sharky ask. Her voice breaking through the silence I dreaded being around. I turned, feeling my head finally start to ache less. "Hm? Yeah," I nodded. Sharky stared at me with a skeptical expression, a look of worry in her eyes. "Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Her gaze shifted to the nearly empty pill bottle in my hand. "What's with Advil?" she asked, her common curious expression plastered onto her face. Sharky gently grabbed the bottle out of my hand and set it back into the cupboard. "Are you having nightmares again?" she asked, a look of concern on her face now. "No. Just some trouble sleeping," I sighed, turning to look out of a window so I didn't have to make eye contact with her. I was lying, of course. It was definitely more than that, but I didn't know how to explain it to them, and I didn't want her worrying about me anyways. "Okay," she nodded. "I won't push you to say anything you don't want to," she added before leaving the room. It was an odd thing to hear from her. Usually, she would bug me until I snapped and told her what was wrong.

She had never done that before.

What changed?

I sighed and walked out of the kitchen. The area around me still felt heavy, like something was watching me. But I ignored it because I had better things to do than worry about something like that.
