Scourge laid in his bed constantly looking around the dimly lit room it was past midnight and he still couldn't sleep. Fleetway had ended up leaving Scourge to sleep alone due to Scourge reassuring him he was fine which now that he was thinking about it was extremely stupid of himself. Scourge sighed lightly before he heard something in the kitchen, he immediately froze at that looking over at his door his heart pounding so loudly he was mistaking them for footsteps.

He whined softly and grabbed his phone checking to see if Fleetway was online on anything which he wasn't. He frowned at that tempted to think he was overreacting but that thought shattered the moment he heard the same sound again. Ears lowering as he breathed slowly trying to listen for any other noises. Scourge sighed lightly not hearing anything else although it did little to ease him. As the hours slowly ticked by Scourge was practically convinced someone was wondering the kitchen although didn't have the courage to go check for himself.

Scourge felt like he was going insane as he was curled up on his bed before he heard something, Fleetway's alarm. Scourge perked up at this before freezing "I didn't sleep at all" he groans softly and moves to exit the room knowing Fleetway would be there if anything happened. Scourge walked out of his room the same time as Fleetway was coming down the stairs, he looked surprised to see Scourge probably because it was four am.

"Why are you awake?" Fleetway asks narrowing his eyes as Scourge shrugs "I spend awhile watching stuff and suddenly you're alarm is going off" he lied as Fleetway shook his head "No no. You smell of sweat, and you look nervous" he said walking over as Scourge lowered his ears "Alright I kept hearing shit and I thought that other sonic was back.." he sighs shaking his head angrily "I'm stupid okay."

Fleetway frowned and sighed heavily a hint of concern on his face as he moved to pat Scourge on the shoulder "I told you to come spend the night in my room I would've brought the mattress up" he said as Scourge groaned "I'm not four though.." he said as Fleetway flicked him on the forehead making him gasp softly "You act like it" he said as Scourge puffed his cheeks out which only proved Fleetway's point.

Fleetway would grab Scourge's hand "Let's get you something to eat then you can go back to bed" he said as Scourge just accepted his fate and was dragged along to the kitchen "Fineeee" he sighs and sits down on the barstool like chairs Fleetway had near the kitchen counters "Would you like noodles or toast?" Fleetway asks half sheepishly as Scourge smiled "Noodles please" he laughs softly getting fond of watching Fleetway attempt to use normal kitchen appliances with pure struggle.

After Scourge helped Fleetway use the kettle to boil some water the two could sit down by the counter and enjoy their breakfast. Scourge was avoiding eye contact as he felt slightly helpless about last night he felt like a child who was scared of their closet monster, but he knew that Sonic he saw was real otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kick it. The pair of almost lifeless red eyes were stuck in his brain and he couldn't get rid of the thought, no matter how hard he tried.

Fleetway would tap Scourge on the shoulder "Time for you to get some proper sleep, I don't care where just please get some sleep even if it's in my bed since my room is the most isolated" he said getting up and offering Scourge his hand. Scourge sighed and took his hand as Fleetway would lead him upstairs, Scourge looked around the spacious room with clothes on the floor and a general mess which made Scourge smile softly being reminded of how his room used to look when he was living with his parents.

Man he didn't miss his parents, he missed his room though. Scourge looked over at Fleetway "Do you mind if I clean this later?" He asks as Fleetway shook his head "No I don't I have been so busy with you I forgot to clean this dump" he said as he moved over to the bed. Scourge would sit on the bed as Fleetway motioned him to do before laying down and getting comfortable as Fleetway tossed the blankets over him.

Scourge poked his head out from under the blankets to look up at Fleetway "Do you want the lights off or on dim?" He asks being able to adjust the brightness of the lights "I.. Dim please" Scourge said sheepishly not wanting to be left in the dark again. Fleetway nodded and srt the lights to dim "I've got to go to work, if anything goes wrong you have my number" he said before quickly waving goodbye and taking off making sure to lock the door for Scourge's peace of mind.

Scourge waved goodbye before settling into the bed it was much softer then Scourge's bed which Scourge had thought was comfortable. Scourge took a deep breath in enjoying the familiar scent that lingered as he did his best not to yawn although he failed very quickly. Scourge found himself very quickly dozing off into a deep sleep.
