  TW: Sex(kinda), talks of sex, taking advantage of someone when they are at their weakest 🙃  (just in case???)

  Insomnia POV

 
  I opened my eyes as I floated back onto the couch. I was still searching for the person that was in my head. He felt familiar, yet, there was nothing that came to mind.

  I had gone downstairs to the basement to feed sadness because, well, it gets boring being absolutely ruthless ALL the time. I stood up and grabbed my phone along with my earbuds. I shuffled my playlist and walked out the front door.

  As I was walking, I passed a few traits; All of which avoided me and walked around me. I had gotten to the center of the trait complex and sat on a bench Mera a statue of Thomas. I stared at his stoney eyes. I was thinking horrible thoughts of him, when an idea struck me.

  I was bored, so I waved my hand and like a cloud from nowhere, there was a brown mustache on the statue. I huffed and looked down at my shoes. I sat there for a good 5 minutes when a trait ran past me, tripped on my shoes, and face planted onto the ground. I smiled and stood up, preparing myself for an acting session.

  "Oh my gosh! Are you ok? I'm so sorry that I tripped you! It was an accident, I swear." I frowned to give it the extra 'Sadness' effect and he turned with tearstained eyes and a blood stained nose. He stood up and threw himself at me, embracing me in a hug. I scowled at the sudden contact, but proceeded to act like I cared.

  "Seriously, are you ok?" I rolled my eyes as he sobbed. He then let go and stood in front of me. "What's your name? Or, trait? If you don't have a name." He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back but a tear fell from my face. He noticed and wiped it from my face.

  "I'm Boredom." He stated, then continued to ask me questions. "Do you have a name? Also, why are you crying?" He seemed concerned.

  "I'm Sadness." He seemed confused but connected the dots. When he did he smiled and so did I, another tear streaming down my face. If I wanted this to work I have to make it seem realistic, be a realistic Sadness; So I make myself cry when I smile. He wiped that tear away too. I stopped smiling and forced myself to give him a hug.

  "Oh!" I pretended to remember. "Why were you crying?" He laughed but then I watched as another tear rolled down his cheek. I put my hand on his shoulder.

  "I....I slept with one of the sides!" He practically sobbed. He leaned against me again and I mentally gagged. "But now he won't even come out of the Mindpalace. Or even talk to me." He sobbed again. "I would go into the Mindpalace, but they are all way too cool for me to talk to. After all, I am the physical embodiment of Boredom."

  I gave him a sympathetic pat on the back, acting on a new plan formulating in my mind. I pulled away from the hug and lifted his chin to face me. I pulled him in for a kiss and he let me. As we kissed, I slipped my tongue in his mouth. Any form of my DNA could infect someone, even my saliva. I smiled into the kiss and picked him up so his legs were around me.

  I backed up so we were sitting on the bench. As I deepened the kiss, I opened my eyes to see that there was an orange cloud forming above Boredom's head. I watched as it entered his eyes and into his nose. I pulled away from the kiss and moved away from him, on the opposite side of the bench. He stopped and looked around and smiled when he saw me. His grey color had more of an orangish tint now.

  "What is your name?" I asked him. He stopped smiling and thought for a second. "Boredom." He replied. Damn. That didn't work. I assumed he was hiding his name, but I assumed wrong. "Do you know which side you slept with?"

  He nodded his head. "Deciet. But he asked me to call him, D.J ." I paused, wondering if his name started with a J. Only one way to find out, but that was for later. I looked at Boredom. "Do you want to get revenge on D.J for not responding to you, and neglecting your needs?" I smirked as he nodded." Then I shall officially tell you who I am. But not here." He tilted his head and frowned. I smiled and stood up, motioning him to follow. He did.

  We walked for a few minutes until we reached Sadness's house. I opened the door and he walked in, smirking as he passed me. I closed the door, and snapped my fingers. The front door locked and there was an audible click from the kitchen back door and on all the windows.

  I waved my hands and all the blinds flew down, dimming the room. I walked to the living room effortlessly dodging the furniture. I turned on the light and sat in a chair opposite the couch, where he sat. I smiled and closed my eyes as I began to lift my disguise. As I've infected him with my poison-like saliva, or DNA in general, I can officially trust him to fallow me out of pure anguish and envy for revenge on Deciet.

  "I am not Sadness. I'm merely just a reflection of his appearance." I opened my now orange eyes, and his eyes widened as the blue stripe in my hair melted into orange. He gasped as I stood. "I am....."

  There was a loud bang from downstairs and I growled, my grand reveal to this shitty trait was now ruined. I clicked my tongue and walked aggressively towards the basement door as the clicks of the locks were heard. I opened the door, and rushed downstairs. I looked at Sadness, he was asleep on his little green bean bag chair that I let him have.

  I continued to look around until I saw a very dark shadow loom near the closet, directly under a lightbulb. It glided on the floor effortlessly until I saw it at a correct angle.

  It was a bird with a rather beautiful set of black-purple feathers. It looked like a cockatoo, but with lizard like attributes. It's beak was longer, with little metallic feathers on its wings that looked like knives. It had orange spikes running down it's spine eventually to a rat like tail with metal feathers at the end. There was and orange patch of feathers around its face that made it look like a mask. I looked into it's beautiful purple eyes and she looked back into mine.

  I smiled at the bird as she flew up to my shoulder. Her feet were like a monkeys, but scaley with purple claws that matched her eyes and beak. I purred to her, feeling an instant bond. I turned to the stairs and realized that Boredom had followed me down here. I looked at Sadness and smiled.

   "You see. You are part of a much bigger plan now. This is the real.... Sadness." I spat. I looked back at him. "You see? I'm not a good guy, as if you couldn't tell. I pose as him to simply avoid being caught."

  Boredom watched me in awe as I spoke. "I am way more powerful. I am the the terror of teens, the destroyer of sleep. I am,"I giggled as Boredom began clapping vigorously. "Insomnia!"

  Hahahahahahahaha. Im seriously NOT okay xD. It's 3:13 in the morning. That's like...... A lot of hour. It's too late for me to math rn. Anyways, it's a big number thing. So, imma sleep so my selective Insomnia turns the fuck off. YAYYAYAYAYAYAYY. gn you fucking queers 😂
