insomnia meme

 

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

[ she's.. not used to knowing someone is in the same house but not with her, so to speak. kyouko has been on her own for awhile now, and she can usually deal with it, but tonight?

not so.

instead, she'll be leaving her regularly occupied place on akemi's couch in favor of sucking up her pride and giving a harsh knock to the fellow magi's door.

Wake up, would ya?

[ he can remember nights where he'd end up hunched over piles over paperwork on a desk that half-served its true purpose, the other times offering itself as a bed, a dinner table, a doctor's office..

compared to the sleeping bag-padded rocks they're occupying now, he'd go back to those days in a heartbeat. there's an ache in his back where he'd been forced against a tree earlier, only partial to the half-scabbed skin across his knuckles that he'd gained in a poor attempt to defend himself.

green rolls over with a groan, not bothering to keep the obvious flinch in check as he does so. red is probably asleep by now anyway, so whatever.

[ red offers silence, even as green rolls over, groaning in pain. he appreciates the noise, even if it's not words of comfort. it's quiet around, too quiet, in the aftermath of the war. red makes no noise, but instead a small gesture to nestle into green's frame, barely lining up their backs.

silence, once more, in contrast to the erratic thumps inside his chest, and the throbbing inside his head. thinking hurts, moving hurts, and the ache never quite stops. if he speaks, he knows green will hear it, so red offers silence and the shallow sounds of his own breathing, synchronous with the (ex)-scientist's.

how long? ]

[the temperature only ever seems to rise in their endless august, and usually, he enjoys the bright, sunny weather. however, he's given up the fan that usually occupies his room because mary's is out of service ( from overuse, he imagines ), and the stilled heat is too much to bear, causing him nothing but uncomfortable sleeplessness.

after creeping down the hall, without so much as knocking, kano pushes open kido's bedroom door and collapses halfway on her bed rather dramatically, soaking up what little coolness her room has to offer.

[personal profile] diedinafire 2013-10-26 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ as if it wasn't hot enough already.

kido doesn't scream, having grown used to kano's antics towards these things and instead rolls further against the wall. it's too hot to do anything else, even with the fan on. she elbows kano (get off my bed), it means, but really, she's in no mood to argue. ]

[ move over, neku, boyfriend incoming.

the composer creeps into neku's bed rather overtly, dressed in an oversized shirt (the sort you use for pajamas) and bare feet. it's cold out, but it's colder elsewhere, inside his own (still-beating?) heart. snuggling underneath the warm blankets, joshua's head manages to find neku's bony shoulder as his arms twine with neku's body.

it's very, very quiet. josh is good at being quiet. ]

[personal profile] unbranded 2013-10-27 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ the peace of the moment doesn't last long, unfortunately, because neku nearly jumps out of his own skin at josh's touch registering. he stops himself before he can make any loud noise of protest, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still sufficiently freaked out because why are you in my bed.

his voice is a harsh, sleepy whisper:

[ you know who's sitting in your kitchen picking at his nails, c-ta?

izaya.

he doesn't usually make these kinds of stops, but there's something about c-ta that he's never seen in his targets before i mean they weren't yanhomo to begin with and he's interested to see how he can push c-ta before he bowls over completely.

that doesn't void the fact that he's still sitting in your kitchen. ]

IZAYA,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[personal profile] mearry 2013-10-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[and guess who is racing down the stairs with a box cutter in his hands.

if it's c-ta then izaya guessed right!

and the look on c-ta's face as he sees the familiar figure could only be described as a poem. shock turns into anger, which is quickly repressed into an emotionless expression. he didn't look tired- mostly because he wasn't tired in the first place. watching his best friend was a job that trained him into only needing a couple hours of sleep at most.

but just seeing izaya (inside his house too!) was enough to exhaust him mentally. c-ta definitely didn't want to deal with this asshole.]


Get out of my house. [short, sweet, and simple. c-ta doesn't want any of izaya's bullshit.]

"Ow! Shit!"

[ So Shintaro went to bed earlier that night only to realize that his empty stomach was what was keeping him up, tossing, turning, and restless. And as a result, he had decided to deal with it by heading to the kitchen and opening the fridge to see what he could come up with for a midnight snack.

The only result he got was one of the ice-cube trays (filled with ice, mind you) accidentally slipping out as he tried to pull something else out and hitting his foot. ]

[ as fun as sleepovers at the hideout are, he's always one of the last to fall asleep after all the fun and games, which is actually kind of boring and, admittedly, lonely. if he didn't already know that kido was sharing a bed with momo tonight, he'd go pester her to ease his restlessness.

instead, kano slips into the hall and gingerly tiptoes his way into the living room where he knows shintaro is most likely occupying his usual spot on the couch nearest to the wall, and just. kind of. throws himself across the elder male's legs, because he knows it is both annoying and a great way to wake someone up while ensuring that he has successfully invaded shintaro's personal space.

[personal profile] sodacan 2013-10-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shintaro lets out a groan at the sudden pressure and the fact that he was startled awake, and attempts to roll over to try and readjust himself so he can fall back asleep, only to find that his legs are caught under the weight of a certain boyfriend. And so he brings himself to pry open his eyes and consult Kano, speaking in a groggy voice. ]

She gives a languid yawn as she sits upright in her bed, blearily looking for the source of the noise before responding and slipping out of her bed and into her slippers so she can walk over to her window and open it. ]
