Alex's PoV
Six am and we're all somehow still awake. We are well into The Clone Wars by now. This show is the absolute best. Nothing comes close to it. I snuggle a little closer to John and eat another piece of popcorn.

Dad comes out a few hours later. I don't know how long it's been, but we're in Season Four by now, so it's been a long time. We're all still awake somehow. It's the power of the clones. They're fucking bad-ass. "Rex is fucking hot." I whisper. "Like, really fucking hot."
"Do you think he's hotter than me?" John whispers back, offended.
"Yes. But you're cuter." I admit.
"Hello my students. I see you have all somehow managed to stay awake. I don't understand how you're awake without coffee and Redbull, but whatever." Dad says, pointing to me.
"Good morning to you too Dad. I would appreciate that Redbull by the way." I say, making grabby hands at him.
"No you lazy ass. Get up and get it yourself."
"But The Clone Waaarrrrrrrrs. No, I'm strong. I can stay here." I mumbles, rubbing my eyes. "Star Wars marathon requires a test of strength nothing else can compare to."
"Mister Washington?" Someone asks.
"Yes Miss Schuyler, I am these two idiot's father. That's the only reason this one behaves in my class." He ruffles my hair.
"Because you would take away my already meager caffeine if I acted up in your class." I say, pushing his hand off. "It's not fair. I'm barely surviving on two cups of caffeine. I might end up turning to something else to keep me alive. Maybe I'll become an alcoholic instead of a coffee-and-Redbull-holic." He smacks me on the back of the head. "Now shut up Dad, I'm watching The Clone Wars. Sit your ass down and watch with us." I demand. Meade shoots me an incredulous look. I just shrug and move over to make space on the couch for Dad. He sits down and picks me up. I hiss like a cat and writhe in Dad's grip as he pries me off John. John silently dies of laughter as Dad forces me to sit in his lap. I am very much very pissed and am trying to get back to John. By the time the episode ends, thirteen minutes later, I've given up and accepted my fate and am curled up contentedly on Dad. He strokes the top of my head softly and I have some of his shirt bunched up in my hand. So far, this day has been going pretty good.

My whole weekend was spent watching Star Wars. We all spent the weekend watching Star Wars. I didn't even make any videos, but oh well. I'll make up for it today, Monday. We didn't even get to watch all the movies because The Clone Wars by itself takes over two days to watch, even if you binge it. So I went to bed at three am on Sunday night, but only because Dad sent everyone home and forced sleeping pills down my throat. So I got three hours of sleep and woke up at six and texted John out of boredom. Me: I miss you
❤️John❤️: I miss you too
Me: I miss you more
❤️John❤️: How do you know?
Me: Are you hugging your pillow and trying not to cry as you stare at your phone screen at the name of the man you love, wishing desperately you had teleportation powers so you could teleport to him and he would hold you in his arms and never let you go?
❤️John❤️: Noooooo
Me: Exactly
❤️John❤️: Well, I'll see you soon, in school
