RotG x reader one-shots

Sandy x NightOwl! Reader

The first night wasn't your fault. The damn teachers just had to give you the worst homework ever, so you can imagine how much sleep you got that night... none.
The second night still wasn't your fault. Ish. One of your friends were going through a crisis and as the good friend you were, you were there for them.
The third night. Well... that one kind of was your doing. But hey! That fanfic you were reading was just wayy tooo gooood.
Of course it only went downhill from there. Fourth night, fifth night, sixth, seventh, eighth... I guess you could say it became a habit, a bad one. But in all honesty, as long as you got like, 4 hours of sleep you'd feel the same as always.

That brings you to today, or I guess you could say tonight... this morning? Meh, time doesn't matter. There you were just doing the usual tippity-tappin on your laptop. Browsing the internet for things that interested you. Honestly it was like a ritual now. Spend evening with family, say goodnight, NOT sleep and stay up past midnight, fall asleep and wake up. You were scrolling through some nice cat memes when you suddenly felt very tired. That's strange it's only... 12:47! I never feel tired this early! I could listen to the feeling but.... so much more dankness to explore! I'll just go get a little pick-me-up from the kitchen. After chugging a cup of caffeinated green tea (do not question my ways) and making my way back to my bed I'm feeling much better.  Now what was it I wanted to see...? Oh yeah! B-i-r-b- -m-e-m-e-s. YASSS.
Swiggity swootyyyy.
Oh goddammit! The feeling is back! Sooo.... damn... tired... whyyyyyyyy.  Snap out of it (name)! Sleep is for da weak! Shaking my head I push the feeling wayyyy down. I have goals to reach tonig- this morning and I won't let a little tiredness stop me from achieving them! Although, it's proving to be quite the challenge. Is Mr. Sandman TRYING to knock you out?!

You've always believed in the guardians ever since you were little, gotta have something to believe in amIright?
You decide to try to stay awake by blasting music through your headphones. You lay back and enjoy the music for a while. 'CRAAWWWLING IN MY SKINNN, THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEALLL' That's the good stuff.
Suddenly you start to see a golden glow behind your closed eyelids. What the heck could that be? You decide to crack open an eye just to make sure you weren't in any danger. But you sure as heck did not expect to see the sight in front of you. Wth? Floating in front of you on a small sand cloud was the..... SANDMAN?!??? What the heck??? You sat there, mouth hanging open, eyes wide, for a few seconds before realizing the situation. To put it simple, you = no sleep. Sandman = M A D.

He just stood there with his arms crossed, glaring at you.(pic above). And you were actually a little scared.
In an attempt to diffuse the situation you speak up.
"H-hey there... Sandman, sandy, buddyyyy.. what's shakin?"
He replies with just two symbols above his head. An arrow pointing at you, and a bed. Simple enough, 'go to bed'. Easier said than done.
"Well you see, Sandy, I can't"
A brief look of confusion flashes across his face.
"Scratch that, not can't, it's just really hard. After being used to little sleep I don't really need it as much so it's a lot harder to fall asleep."
You explain.
He cocks an eyebrow as if saying 'really? Do you realize who I am?' You start to feel very stupid. And a blush spreads across your face.
"Y-yeah I realize you're the Sandman, and you could help me sleep but it's not like that permanently fixes the issue. It's much harder to break a bad habit than to create one!"
You awkwardly stutter.
"Besides, it'd be waay too much to ask you to help me sleep Every Night."
A picture of him scattering sand over a sleeping form appears over his head. 'I'll do it.'
Dammit. You cast a longing look towards your laptop.
"But......*sigh* fine."
You say as you close your laptop and set it on your night table. You then lean back and get comfortable. Then, being the nerd you were, you said,
"Dream me up scotty."
Sandy smiles, finally!
Barely a couple seconds pass before sleep overtakes you and you're off in la la land.
Little did the two of you know, this little encounter was the start to a beautiful relationship.
~End~

Well, how was it? I didn't really jump into romance but I've had this idea on my mind for a couple days.

Byebye,
