GODSPEED MARI GOES GODSPEED WOOOO GODSPEED

Val was sitting on the (Ikea) sofa in the common room, once again. It was pretty late at night, so most of his roommates had fallen asleep. He still had a report he needed to finish and thought that the common room would be better because he couldn't work with the rat scratching at the floor below him. The lights were dimmed and he had a cup of coffee on his side to stay awake. You probably wouldn't even see him there if it weren't for the laptop on his lap illuminating his face.
"Holy fuck, you scared me—"
Val looked up from his laptop to see Greed standing in the darkness. "Midnight walk?" Valentino asked, looking back down at his laptop and typing once again. Greed nodded with a small "mmhmm", and walked over to the sofa. He plopped down on the other end of the sofa and leaned back into the cushions. Val paid no mind to the company and continued typing.
After about five minutes of the sound of silence and typing, Greed suddenly spoke up. "Hey Val?"
Valentino, still typing and not looking up from his laptop hummed, signaling Greed to continue. "Why don't you ever curse?" Greed inquired, his usual playful tone gone. Maybe it was because it was so late at night. Valentino stopped typing and paused to think for a moment. "...It isn't very professional. I wouldn't want to get caught cursing and ruin my image or the company's."
"But you can just curse at home, you're always so angry all the time, haha," Greed chuckled, his usual demeanor returning.
"That's true. Well my brother didn't really like when I cursed at home so I guess the habit of me not cursing just stuck," Valentino stated, beginning to type once more.
"Do you ever feel like cursing sometimes?"
"Occasionally."
"Why don't you let out how you're feeling right now with curse words then~?"
"..."
"Also you tell me to get rest all the time but look at you~"
"..."
There was more silence and more typing for quite some more time. Valentino checked the time on his laptop.
2:37 AM.
Valentino sighed and rubbed his temples. He muttered a small "...fuck" under his breath and saved the report. He leaned back into the sofa, staring at the ceiling. Greed's been awfully quiet, Val thought. He turned his head to see what Greed was doing. Greed had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Valentino closed his laptop and placed it on the table across the sofa. He took a deep breath. "You're going to catch a cold," he whispered, walking away for a moment. When he returned, he was holding a blanket.
He gently placed it over Greed and looked at the sleeping figure. "Why the hell can't you be this peaceful all the time," he mumbled. Valentino sighed once more and sat on the other side of the sofa. He looked at the sleeping man across from him.
"He really is like a kid sometimes."
Before Valentino could say anything else, he had fallen fast asleep where he sat.
