[iyla]

awake?

[niim]

Gym. Does that count as awake?

[iyla]

unless you're taking a nap on the mats.

[niim]

Tempting but nah.

[iyla]

why are you in the gym so late?

[niim]

It’s the best time - it’s dead.

Why are you up so late?

[iyla]

do you always?

[...] i had a bad day. tomorrow will be worse if i can't fall asleep and yet, that doesn't seem to matter to my thoughts.

[niim]

What happened? […] If you want to talk about it.

[iyla]

nothing happened, exactly. dreamscape is just [...] tense for obvious reasons right now.

[niim]

And I guess you can’t really talk about it?

[iyla]

it's a combination of things i can't really talk about and also just the overall bad vibes that everyone's emanating.

[niim]

No, you're right. The vibes are weird.

[iyla]

it's proving difficult for me to stop stressing about dreamscape long enough to actually fall asleep. [...] i was wondering if you could come make me stop thinking.

[niim]

Yeah, I can help you hit pause on the stress.

[...] Also, I don't know if this is comforting or whatever in the context of what's going on, but I've never been chipped.

[iyla]

thank you.

[…] i spent most of my life chipped, but i’m at least certain that if i did prove to be a sleeper agent, the trigger is probably not you making me come.

[niim]

You sure about that?

[iyla]

only 99%. it might be better to test it a few times to be sure.

[niim]

All I'm saying is you said things when I made you stay on my face. That's all.

[iyla]

i’m okay with claiming ownership of everything i said. i’m not ashamed of showing my […] appreciation vocally.

[…] fair warning, we should stay quiet tonight. i’m not sure if my roommate is dead asleep behind her curtains or never came back for the night.

[niim]

You up for that challenge?

[iyla]

i can manage. i’m not interested in waiting until tomorrow.

[niim]

It’s already tomorrow and you need to sleep.

[iyla]

tomorrow’s going to suck even so. today. you know what i mean. […] but it’ll suck less than if you didn’t come over.

[niim]

I’ll be there in 20. Wait by the door so I don’t have to knock?

[iyla]

i’ll leave it unlocked. […] twenty minutes is a long time to wait to kiss you.

but at least i’ll be thinking about you instead of today.
