Something Better

Chapter 8

Sheph and Mark had talked for what seemed like hours, and after finally breaking the conversation Sheph could look around him, and only then did he realize 3 things. The sun was going down, He really needed to take a leak, and he was really fucking hungry.

"Woah." He said in a tired voice. Mark tilted his head to look out past Sheph and his light colored brows rose slowly.
"When did that happen?" He asked in an only slightly surprised tone. Autzen answered lazily from the other corner of the room where he now sat.
"The course were on is slightly rising on the equator."
"..... Wut?" Mark quickly explained.
"We jumped time zones." He said simply, Sheph reeled.

"How far have we gone?!" He exclaimed. "And why are you shirtless?" He added with a glance over at the tiger. Nik sat propped on only two chair legs, and with his own laying on the top of the table. A drink rested I'm his left hand. Nik only glanced over at the dog before closing his eyes again. Exasperated. Sheph looked back at Mark who was in the middle of rolling his dark blue eyes at the tigers antics. "If you're still confused I think we just left your continent" Autzen chipped in quietly. At that same moment Kyle rematerialized from the back wall with a huge tray of food balanced on one paw.

"Dinner ti-"
"what do you MEAN WE JUST PASSED THE FU-"
"STOP YELLING!" Kyle exclaimed over Sheph's confused shouting. All went silent. Kyle took a moment to sigh and mutter something under his breath before he continued "Now come get food." Kyle finished as he elegantly slid the large tray down onto the wooden table. Immediately Nik's attention was grabbed. HIs legs flew back under the table, and he was snatching at Kyle for a plate which was handed to him along with a chastising glare. 

the rest pulled up their chairs, and dug into the food. Sheph could only lay in the Bean bag chair and dream of sleeping after he finished. He felt heavier, but those wishes were thwarted by a tap on the shoulder. Sheph opened his eyes slightly to see Kyle standing beside him. Immediately he was awake.

"Could I talk to you for a moment?" Kyle asked, Offering a helping hand. Sheph took it, and warily followed Kyle to the same corner of the room Mark and him had talked in. Turning away from the others, who still continued to compliment him on the food, either to drunk to notice he was gone, or that didn't really care. Worriedly Sheph waited for him to speak.

"Sheph I'll make this quick cause I can tell you wanna sleep." He started, only fueling Shephs worry with his choice of words. "Can you sleep on the pull out mattress?" He asked, catching Sheph off guard. He nodded quickly. Kyle smiled. "Thanks, it was either you or Nik that I was gonna make sleep on the ground." He explained turning away from Sheph he started to walk away. "he's too drunk to care really."
