Open your eyes (A Sjips Fanfiction)

Chapter 16

~Sjin's Pov~

I hear the sound of surprisingly loud footsteps coming down the stairs. I look over to see a sleepy looking Erin at the bottom of them. She's still in her pajamas, dark hair pulled back into messy ponytail, and her thick framed morning glasses perched upon the bridge of her nose.

"Pssssst." I whisper, trying not to disturb Sips or my headache. "Erin, over here." She sleepily looks around, eventually spotting me. She giggles quietly. "Well good morning sleepyhead." Her voice thankfully soft. "Do you need an aspirin for that hangover of yours?" I look around, noticing all of the beer cans. I mentally facepalm. "That would explain a lot of things." I say. "But sure, I'll take a few." She nods, heading off to get them.

As she's gone, I try to remember what happened yesterday. It's all so fuzzy in my brain. I told Sips about his wife, she went crazy... I can't recall anything else, it's like all of it has been erased from my memory.

Strange.

I hear a a stirring sound come from Sips as he pulls his head up off of mine, yawning afterwards. He looks over to me. "Hi." Is all that he says. "Hey." I respond.

"What time is it?" I remove one my arms from Sips' momentarily to look at the time. "It's eight." He throws his head back groaning. "Ehhhh, it's too early." He complains.

Just then Erin comes back in with two glasses of water and a bottle of pain relievers. "Oh my god, Erin. You. You are a life saver." Sips says snatching the pills from her. She sets down the two waters in front of us, as Sips passes me some. We both take them quickly, just wanting the ache to subside. "So," she starts. "What exactly happened last night?" I look over to Sips, cause I certainly don't remember anything. "Hey, don't look at me you two, I don't remember jack shit from last night. All I remember is dealing with my sonovabitch whore wife, and then somehow ending up back here." I sigh, I was really hoping he knew more then what I did.

"Well, at least you two aren't dead in a ditch." She laughs. Neither of us finding that amusing at the moment. "What?" She questions when we don't laugh with her. "Oh grow up, it was just a joke, sheesh." She wonders back into the kitchen getting herself breakfast - leftover pancakes.

I look to Sips.

"Are you sure that's all you can remember?"

"Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't I be?"

"I just feel like we're missing something important, call it a Sjintuition."

Sips face palms. "Your lucky we're friends, or I'd punch you in the face for that pun. I giggle. "Sorry Sips, I just got Sjinspired." He chuckles lightly. "Oh my god Sjin, it's too early for this shit." I push his arm slightly. "Oh you know you love it." I smile. "I do, and I hate myself for it."

"Hey you guys done bangin yet? Or should I put your pancakes back into fridge?" She calls from the kitchen. Sips and I share a look, and laugh. Jumping up off the couch, and racing towards the kitchen, taking a spot at the table. Erin hums. "That's what I thought."

~Sips' Pov~

We walk up the stairs, bidding a goodbye to Erin as we drop her off in the meeting room on the way towards our offices. Only to be bombarded by Turps half way there. "Sips! Pal! It's so good to see you at the towers again." I nod and smile. "Yeah it's great to be back. This place is like a second home to me."

"Yeah, it's great to have you back, and permanently too. Aww man this is going to be awesome, You, me, the Hats, we'll have our whole crew back together!" He pulls me into a side hug, waving his free hand in the air to emphasize what he says. "Drinking booze, blowing up hookers, robbing banks, it'll be just like old times eh?" He pats my back. "So what do ya say partner, wanna play some gta with the boys and I later?"

I look over to Sjin, catching his disappointed look, before he switched back to a casual smile. "Maybe some other time?" I pull out of Turps grasp, and get to Sjin's side. "I've already promised this babby that I'd spend time with him this week." I say, casually placing my hand on his shoulder, giving him a light squeeze.

Turps holds his hands up in defense. "Alright I gotcha," He says. "have fun with ya boy. But next week you're with me." "I'll be here." I respond as he heads backwards down the hallway into his office.

I turn to Sjin. "Eh, it's my first week back. I gotta spend it with you, right?" He smiles. "It'll be just like old times Sipsy." I roll my eyes playfully. "No, not this again Sjin." "Remember when we were over at yours?" He seems to ignore me, so I just play along. "Which time?" "The time I dared you to jump off the roof with your umbrella to see if you'd fly."

"How could I forget? I got my arm cut open by a sharp rock on the way down."

He pulls at the sleeve of my sweatshirt. "How many stitches was it again?" He says, running his fingers along the scar.

"Fourteen, thanks for that by the way jackass." He pulls my sleeve back down.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, really. Thanks for putting me through the pain of fuckin stitches."

"Well then I guess I own you a thanks then as well. Remember the time when we were in 7th grade and the floors of the showers were really slippery?"

I chuckle. "Yeah I pushed you, and you went down like I went down on your mum last night."

He breaks into another fit of giggles. "Oh my god, Sips, shut up." He takes a second to calm down. "Jeez Sips, what the fuck? Anyways, I was in a splint the rest of the semester. Remember?"

"Of course I remember, you got all the chicks, you were a fuckin babe magnet and I got jack shit." He blushes. "Hey, at least you had me. We were a duo, we still are, and we will always be. I'd pick my best friend over a girl any day."

I suddenly remember something, I've heard that before. Or at least something like it.. But when? And did Sjin say it? It still seems all fuzzy.

"Huh, yeah. I feel the same way." I give him a reassuring smile. "Really. Big money, big women, big fun right?"

"That's right boss." He beams.

"That's the spirit kid, now lets get to work."

A/N: Gah! This is.. I don't even know. Filler I suppose. I'm just glad I got around to updating this again. ^w^
