Kanaya's mom took us out to eat at a restaurant and when we were all done she dropped me off at home where Kankri met me at the door. There was still something a bit off about him but I couldn't tell what it was. "Hey Kankri, how was your day?", Yes I had actually picked up some fucking manners from him burning them into my brain for three goddamn years.  "It was alright, very exhausting 6ut it was fine." He glanced up at the clock and fidgeted with his hands. He was about to say something when Cronus walked in from work. I notice Kankri slightly relaxed and softly sighed dismissing his unspoken comment. Cronus greeted us both before setting his things down and kissing Kankri's cheek. I flashed a smile at my brother and made a bee line to my room. I would never ever tell Kankri but I'm glad he has Cronus. They're really great for each other. Anyway, enough of that. I set my things down in my room and went to get ready for bed. I was pretty tired for some reason even though Kanaya and I didn't do anything but watch movies and talk. I shrugged it off as stress and a walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I finished up quickly and walked back to my room and laid in my bed when I heard a notification go off on my phone. I sighed and grabbed before opening the see where it was. It was literally just Terezi texting me '>:]', I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose debating on whether or not I could deal with her fuckery right now.

I rolled my eyes a bit and sighed before putting my phone down and rolling over away from it. I yanked my blankets over me and closed my eyes. I really was super fucking tired and sleep sounded amazing right now, so after a few minutes of laying there I eventually fell into a dreamless sleep.

Why am I like this? Why do I do this to myself? It's horrible. I stared at the small numbers in the corner of my laptop screen. It's 3:30 am. I've made 4 tumblr posts, checked all my social medias, updated my blog and my comic. And now I've spent the past thirty minutes listening to Rose's steady breathing in the bed next to me. It's kinda creepy, I will admit but it could be hella worse, I could be going through all her shit and staring intently at her while she sleeps. I sighed and closed my laptop setting it to the side and pulling my blankets over my head. I sighed and listened for any kind of noise. I heard footsteps outside the door and tensed up when they stopped. I hid in the blankets and tried to calm my breathing but to no avail, no one was up. I'm not safe here, the bastard probably fucking broke in to get to me. I want to run and hide but I can't move. I'm frozen in fear, my back is to the door now and I hear it open, the footsteps slowly stalk over and stop right behind me, I'm terrified to roll over and instead mentally prepare myself for his foot to collide with my back. But it never comes, I can sense someone's there and I know they know I'm awake, I'm trembling and hyperventilating. How could they not know? I don't expect it and I flinch when a gentle hand comes down on my back slowly rubbing circles with their hand. I hug myself tightly and barely choke out a sob, I hadn't realized I was crying but my face is covered with tears. I shudder and slowly look up seeing a mildly concerned Mom Lalonde. I shook as she frowned at me, I slowly calmed down as she cooed comforting words for me telling me that I was safe and she wouldn't let anything happen to me. I eventually fell asleep with tear stains on my cheeks. 

When I woke up, it was almost mid-day and Rose was gone, I didn't hear anything. I slowly got up and got dressed before making my way down stairs cautiously. I looked around and saw Dirk and Roxy on the couch playing video games. I quietly walked over and sat on the recliner, they didn't notice me at first but when they did Roxy arched an eyebrow. "Davey how long've you been sitting there?", I shrugged a bit and whispered out, "Not even a minute.." She nodded some before turning her attention back to the screen. Dirk glanced over at me for a moment, "You cool? It's lunch time already." I only nodded at his statement not knowing what else to say 'oh you know, nothing like crying yourself to sleep at 3 in the morning and sleeping in!' I sighed. After a few minutes I heard the door open and looked up to see Rose and her mom walk in from what it looks like grocery shopping. Rose flashed a smile at me before walking into the kitchen to set down the bags she was carrying. As her mom walked in, she did the same and lovingly squeezed my shoulder as she walked by, I smiled a bit and glanced down hoping that I would be safe here.

Why the fuck did I sign myself up for this shit? It was a horrible idea, why did I agree. Oh yeah, Kankri promised to buy me more movies. Why am I so easy to bribe. I don't want to be here, it's Saturday, I shouldn't be at the fucking library. I should be at home, sleeping and telling the world where to shove it. But no, I had to be bribed by movies. Holy fuck I hate myself. I was currently holding a stack of books and they were starting to get heavy as fuck. Why couldn't he have brought Cronus? He's stronger than I am anyways. No, don't grab a book the size of a fucking dictionary, oh you asshole. He gave me a look and I could tell what it meant. I huffed and shifted the books so I could get a better grip on them. I swear, Kankri is hanging out too much with Porrim, he's starting to act like a mom. Then again I don't mind it sometimes. Whatever, I just want to go home and watch the The Switch for the thousandth time while curled up in way too many blankets to the point where I give myself a fever. Fuck! I sighed and looked around some seeing nothing but a few old people and students studying for finals. I sighed and started to daydream before I heard Kankri's voice. He was talking to someone, someone I didn't recognize at all, I arched an eyebrow in his direction and gently waved me off as he continued speaking. That usually meant I could go do my own thing but I had all his books in my hands. I decided to set them down on a nearby table and sit until he was done talking, he usually didn't take that long when he had me with him so I wasn't too worried. After a few minutes a heard Kankri quietly call me over, I glanced up and saw he was still talking to whoever and wanted me to come over. I glanced at the books and picked them up before walking over so I wouldn't be expected to give them a gesture of any kind. Kankri frowned at this which only made me force away a grin. His 'friend' or whatever the fuck smiled at me before speaking, "Hello, It's nice to meet you, my name is Aranea, I don't 8elieve we've met 8efore.", she smiled at me and I glanced at Kankri, I didn't want to talk to her at all. She gave me a weird feeling, and it wasn't good. Kankri sighed and apologized for my 'anti-social behavior' before saying bye to his friend and walking to the front desk to check out his library books. We got into the car and started to head home when I asked "Who was that?", Kankri glanced at me from the driver's seat before answering "She was an 9ld friend 9f mine, why d9 y9u ask?", he glanced at me again and arched an eyebrow. I shrugged in response "I don't know, I just got this weird feeling when I was talking to her and I didn't like it.", Kankri hummed in response as we pulled into the driveway. We got out of the car and I helped Kankri bring in all his books setting them on the table, something was off though, it seemed too quiet, and Cronus was still here based on his car in the driveway.
