Heavy Sleeper

Jeremy POV

I walked into Michael's room because he lets me. He was,yet again, passed out on his bed. It isn't early, either. It's noon.

He was mumbling in his sleep and his computer was on his chest. He was watching Meme Awards.

"SQUIP....Mtn Dew....Jeremy stop..." Michael mumbled. Stop what? What's a SQUIP? "Jeremy... Please. Please..."

"Are you okay?" Fuck he's a heavy sleeper. (69 words lol)

"No. Jeremy." He turned over towards the wall. "Wish I'd offed myself instead, wish I was never born."

"What's happening in that dream?"

"I'm just Michael who's a loner... so he must be a stoner...Rides a PT cruiser...god he's such a loser...Michael flying solo...who ya think that you know?"

"Michael, wake up! Wake up! C'mon, wake up!" I shook him as hard as I could.

"All you know about me is my name...awesome party I'm so glad I came."

"Michael! Michael Mell, wake the fuck up! C'mon!" I shook him. I grabbed the computer off Michael and typed "squip" into google.

Michael woke up and hugged me, sobbing into my shoulder. I shoved the laptop off and hugged him back.

"Don't-don't leave! I'm sorry I'm sorry! I don't know how, but it's my fault! I'm-I'm so sorry!"

"Michael, you didn't do anything!Are you okay?"

He blinked and wiped his eyes. "I hate dreams."

"What happened?"

"It's complicated. What's up?"

"Nothin. Hey, look, I got something." I got out my flag from my drawstring bag.

"A bi flag?"

"Yes! And I sewed on buttons so it can be a cape!"

"Nice! Ah, I can't wait for June! I can go to Pride rallies- maybe even get a boyfriend."

"You can get one right now ya dum-dum."

"Who?"

"...me?" ((Jeremy you smooth little son of a bitch))

"I wish."

"Boi. Do you even realize what I said."

"You said that-oh. I'm a dumbass. Wait, really?"

"Yep."

"Smooth."

Jeremy exhaled. "What next?"

"I dunno. So that's it?"

"I guess."

"So we're..."

"Together?"

"Yeah, that."

"Mhm."

"Okay time to wake up. You tricked me again ol subconscious, you really had me there."

"This isn't a dream, though?"

"Something like this would only happen in a dream."

"Trust me, this is real."

"Still don't believe it. Prove it." Jeremy rolled his eyes and slapped him. "Ow!"

"You're still awake. Is that proof?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna look at memes or something?"
