MCA # 7 | Morning

[firehousehimbo]

Buck wasn't one to say "I told you so" but...he told you so, Eddie. Nobody was sleeping last night. But they had gotten through a good chunk of the Terminator series so was it time wasted? No. By now Buck was so sleep-deprived he had gone past tired and was "drunk guy on his second wind after throwing up in the bathroom".

"We should do the Aliens series next." This was like a sleepover! Only one of them was kind of delirious!

[For the guy that's there, but can be open!]

"I'll close my eyes too," he promised. And he would.

After Buck did it first.

[firehousehimbo]

"Okay, good." Buck leaned back against the couch, crossing his arms over his chest. And closed his eyes.

Then opened one. "Well?"

[justalittlerepressed]

"You didn't give me any time!" Eddie said, tossing his hands up in defeat as he leaned back as well. "This would be easier back at the station."

[firehousehimbo]

"Yeah I got my couch on sale. Regretting it now." Because it was not what one would call 'comfortable'. "You can always take my bed if you want."

[justalittlerepressed]

"Don't be ridiculous, this is your place," Eddie said, struggling to find a comfortable position. He fell asleep in Afghanistan, this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Spoilers: It was.

[firehousehimbo]

"Well I'm staying on the couch." But if you wanted them to both not-sleep on the couch by all means, Eddie.

[justalittlerepressed]

"I'm staying on the couch too," Eddie said, just zoning out a little on the TV screen.

Then, "Yeah, you need a new couch. Is it getting it up those stairs? Is that the issue?"

[firehousehimbo]

"More that I'm kind of cheap." A couch was a couch to him! Until he had to sleep on it. Then he realized the difference.

[justalittlerepressed]

"Well, maybe you should get a new one if you want guests to come visit you." Like, you know, Eddie and his kid.

Talking about a couch was clearly the half asleep, but unable to get past that, conversation they needed.

[firehousehimbo]

"I offered you the bed." Like a good host!

[justalittlerepressed]

"It's your bed." He was being a good guest!

[firehousehimbo]

"Well I'm not sleeping anyway." Neither of them were, but whatever.

[justalittlerepressed]

"Apparently I'm not either," Eddie replied. "So we can put in another movie and complain about your very uncomfortable couch some more."

[firehousehimbo]

Buck smiled, cracking open his eye again. "I was hoping you'd say that."

[justalittlerepressed]

Eddie laughed and nudged him with less finesse than he had yesterday. "Might as well keep ourselves occupied while we go nuts."

Buck was going nuts faster, though.
