As we watched TV and we all cuddled on the couch. Gavin's arm was draped over the back of the couch, he was lightly leaning on Louise. Louise was leaning on me, I was leaning on Shane, whose arm was draped on mine and Louise's shoulders and he was leaning on the couch.
The TV was boring and before long I was passed out.
I woke up with Shane carrying me and Louise pushing my chair. I felt drowsy and Gavin was sleepily walking until he reached the stairs, waved and ran up. Shane dropped me in my room and Louise shoved him out.
"You don't just walk in a girls room" Louise whispered angrily and then closed the door. She flopped down on the couch and looked at me. I smiled.
"How early did I pass out...?" I asked. Louise smiled. "Halfway into the first episode of SAO." She smiled and laughed lightly. I smiled and snuggled my blankets. I  closed my eyes, soon enough, Louise was snoring on my couch.
And then I passed out.
The next morning. Louise was rummaging through her side of the closet.
"Where is it....?"
"...hmm....where is what..?" I asked.
"My favorite shirt. You know, the kitten one."
"The one with the cat sitting in the taco..." She said.
"Oh yeah. The tacocat shirt. I think I saw it in the laundry room."
She nods and walks out.
I stretch and yawn. Louise came in again with her shirt on. She smiled and models it in front of my sleepy eyes.
I sit  myself up. I look at the clock.
10:45 AM. Oh...I slept in....
I got myself into my chair and rolled into the ground floor kitchen and Shane was cooking.
"What are you making?" I ask.
"Waffles, eggs, y'know brunch stuff." I laugh.
I roll over to the table to the large space where my chair goes. I stretch and sigh. Gavin walks in without his shirt. Sweat pants still.
"Lost the shirt?" I ask. He sighs and look at himself, "I guess so"
I yawn. Gavin stretches like a cat and sits in his plastic red chair across from me. I look at him.
"Sleep ok?" He turns away.
"Yeah. Fine." He said. I raise an eyebrow.
"Gavin. Did you sleep at all?" He looks at me and rubs his eyes.
"Um....no. No I didn't." This was his problem. He never seemed to sleep. "Gavin...what was it this time?"
He frowned. "Nothing."
Shane looked at him.
"Go back to bed." Shane's eyes practically flared with anger. Gavin shrugged and stalked off to his room. Louise walked in.
"He didn't sleep?" She asked.
"Nope." I say rolling my eyes.
Louise frowned.
"That's...that's two nights in a row." Louise said worried.
I nodded. "I know"
