Fear x Anxiety // Anxifear

Chapter 5

//Sleeping near a dumpster fire.\\

Fear woke up a little confused. When did he even go to sleep? The last thing he remembered from last night was Riley watching this weird movie..oh, he passed out. His head hurt, probably from falling on the floor. Usually, the emotions just leave him there until he wakes up.. weird. He woke up a little early compared to everyone else, how late did they stay up? Eh, doesn't matter. Besides, it'll give him more time to drink coffee without being bothered. He got up and pit on his watch, flashing 8:03 in red. Mostly everyone would be awake.

Fear got dressed and walked out of the room, heading to the coffee maker. While walking, he heard noises. His fight or flight instinct, mainly flight, kicked in and he ran behind the nearest wall, poking his head out not-so-discreetly to see what was making the noise. It stopped. Maybe it was just something breaking again? It's fine, he's fine. He sighed in relief and started to walk again.

"Hey Fear!"

"AAHHHHHH" Fear screamed before curling into a ball, accepting his fate. Whatever that was. He opened his eye to see Anxiety looking a little surprised but she was getting used to it. Fear shot up, a little embarrassed, scratching the back of his neck. "Oh hi Anxiety! Haha.."

"How'd you sleep? Sorry if you were scared when you woke up, you kinda passed out so I thought that you should go in your bed and that I should let you sleep, sorry if you wanted to be woken up again, I just-" Anxiety rambled until Fear interrupted her.

"No, it's okay. Thank you though." Fear gave her a soft smile before turning to make coffee. Anxiety quickly stopped talking, relieved that Fear wasn't that scared. "Uh.. did you watch the movie?" He attempted to strike up a conversation.

"Yeah, it was.. good? I don't know, I couldn't really pay attention that well. Disgust was ALL OVER the vampire guy, I didn't really see the appeal." Anxiety started talking while making herself breakfast. "It was.. really weird. This girl fell in love with a vampire and the vampire wanted to like.. eat her? And then, and THEN, there was a werewolf.. Jake? Jacob? Same thing. He was ALSO in love with her. I don't really know what happened after that, zoned out."

(whaaaat this isn't me trying to get you to watch all 5 of the twilight movies wdym..)

"That sounds super interesting." His tone was sarcastic and he was stirring his coffee. He was kind of glad he passed out. "What time did you go to sleep?"

"Err.. 4:28 am?"

"WHAT!?"

Anxiety laughed out of embarrassment. She knew it was going to be another few hours until everyone else woke up, her only being up because her brain makes her wake up at eight am everyday. "It was a long night.."

"I could guess that!" Fear sighed and sipped his coffee. "Should we wake her up or?.." Considering past events, it was probably not a good idea to let only two emotions run.

"Nonono, we should wait till Joy's up, for now we can..uh.." Anxiety looked around for ideas of what to do. "Oh! We could clean up! It got a little bit messy.." in other words, the entire place looked like a dumpster fire. Fear hates cleaning but it WAS a mess.. and it's with Anxiety, what could go wrong?

"Great! We can start over by the couch! I'll get the supplies." Anxiety ran to get cleaning supplies, a bit eager. Opposite to Fear, Anxiety loved cleaning. It was something she did in her freetime, and was always happy to do it for someone else. Like Fear. Meanwhile, Fear was dreading the situation. Any floor within a 10 foot radius of where the emotions did god knows what had something on it. And under the couch was just.. he doesn't want to think about it.
