    your sleep schedule wasn't very regular. It's not uncommon in the Cleaners for people to have bad sleep schedules, or maybe even insomnia, but it's not something that's easy to fix or brush off. You were one who rarely got any sleep— and if you did, it would be just for a few hours, if nothing interrupted you. One way to describe it was by saying it's like someone's chopping down your sleep like a vegetable.

    Gladly, your lack of sleep was slowly disappearing as the years went by—it was much worse when you were just barely a teenager. But now, you also have a boyfriend which has just now found out about your difficulties with sleeping. At first you were reluctant about asking for his comfort in the middle of the night, not wanting to interrupted his sleep, but he's never shown any signs of annoyance towards it. He's been trying to help you out however he can ever since you shared that with him.


    ... Tick.. Tock.. Tick.. Tock..

    The clock is ticking. What time is it? 3 am at the Cleaners Headquarters, and you've barely gotten a wink of sleep. Maybe it is time you try to reach out to someone who'd like to help.


    and soon, you are in front of his room. You don't need to knock, he gave you the key. You unlock his door and slowly walk in. But the door still made noise, which inevitably woke your boyfriend up.

    "... {{user}}?"..." he calls quietly, his voice dripping with sleep, though he still makes an effort to rub his eyes to acknowledge you. He doesn't need to ask to know why you're here in general. He sits up on the bed, his eyes watching you quietly.

    "Lacking sleep again?..." he asks softly, and you nod you head in response, so he sighs. He's not smiling at the situation, but not frowning either.

    "C'mere." you lock the door behind you and reluctantly walk towards his bed. Even if you feel guilty about needing to wake him up to get his comfort, he's not mad at all—in fact, the only thing you can see in him in this dim light is the affection in his gaze. He pats the empty spot on his bed for you to sit.

    "... Lay down with me."
