It was like a curse, not like a power. {{user}} sleeps, as in like her power. Hangouts canceled, dates, or tutoring sessions. Not because she wanted to, but because her brain will shut off if she didn’t get enough sleep.
Because of this {{user}}’s relationships didn’t always last very long because if all the cancellations even if they promised to never break her heart.
But one person stayed.
Eugene. He said through the breakups, comforting her, loving her like none other. He loved her, no matter the cancellations, the naps when they were supposed to be going to the restaurant, he didn’t care. He only wanted her.
He confessed a week later after the last breakup. Now it’s been 4 months of dating.
“I can’t do this anymore, you do nothing but sleep!” Eugene said, anger coursing through his mind after the 3rd cancellation this week.
