My cringe got the starburst duo 😔
When Mikey found himself unable sleep he was confused for lack of better word. Sleep had never been an issue for him. In fact, it was quite the opposite. So when the clock ticked from 3:15 to 3:16 he bravely committed to his first ever sleepless night and got up to go to the bathroom.
He ran a hand over his face, trying to somehow glue his eyes shut as he walked. If it worked he’d have to sleep in the hallway, but sleeping the hallway, although no doubt uncomfortable, seemed infinitely better than not sleeping at all.
It didn’t work.
So he trudged his way to the bathroom. Filling his hands with water he drank. Water dribbled down his neck as he absently rubbed at his tattoos.
Maybe something was wrong with them? The magic was too strong perhaps, or the spell had been miscast? Cali had just touched up the spell, it was possible he had made a mistake. He trusted Cali of course, but everyone made mistakes.
Panic creeped into his mind as he turned to go back to his room. He sat back down on his bed and tried to steady his breathing. There was no way he’d be able to sleep is he was freaking out. His mind raced as he imagined the sleepless night ahead of him. Great now he’s freaked himself out even more. He grabbed his phone and googled “how to fall asleep quick”.
Yoga breathing
Relax your muscles
Meditation
Read a book
Put away electronics before bed
Melatonin
The list went on and on as he scrolled. He’d already tried to breathe, his muscles were relaxed enough, he’d meditated earlier in the night and that hadn’t helped. He didn’t like to read all that much, he was literally on his phone meaning he’d failed there, and no one else in the family had trouble sleeping so they didn’t have any melatonin. So basically he was screwed.
Pressure built in his throat as he forced tears to stay down. Hiccuping softly he grabbed a pillow and pulled it close to his chest and burst into tears. There was nothing to cry about really, and he knew that, but he was so overwhelmed with the idea of not getting sleep that he couldn’t hold them back.
After a few minutes of pointless crying he wiped his eyes and sat back up. Sucking in a huge breath he grabbed his phone and marched out of his room.

At four in the morning Cali preferred to be sleeping thank you very much. So when he was awoken by a phone flashlight he was not happy. The culprit? A red eyed, sniffling turtle mumbling something about tattoos and mystics. Hissing softly he pulled the blanket over his head and flopped back down.
“Mari please just check my arms really quick.” Mikey whispered, his voice shaking as he sniffled again.
Cali sat up that time, albeit grudgingly. He wrapped the blanket like a shawl around his shoulders and held out his hand pointedly. Immediately the light turned off and Mikey’s hand were in his. He turned them around and poked at them, looking for anything amiss before dropping the turtles arm.
“I for one, do not see any thing wrong with them.” He grumbled, voice rough with sleep.
“Ok. Good good.” Mikey breathed, rubbing his hand through his hair. “Then why am I awake?”
Cali stared at him unimpressed and flopped back down on his mattress. There was no way he was serious. A hand poked at his shoulder.
Apparently he was serious.
Rolling his eyes Cali sat back up again and leveled Mikey’s gaze with a half lidded stare. “ I don’t know. Maybe insomnia or something?” His words slurred slightly as he leaned back down to his pillow.
“Ok great. So I’m fine then?”
“Happens to everyone every once in a while. Annoying, but just a part of life I guess.” Cali was really not in the mood to deal with this, but for Mikey he would make an exception. “Let’s go to the kitchen.”
“I can’t see in the dark” Mikey countered quickly.
“You literally just had your phone a second ago!”
“It died”
Cali hesitated for a moment before reaching for Mikey’s hand. “ Just follow me.”
~
“Have you seriously never had a sleepless night?” Cali questioned as he filled an old beat up teapot.
Mikey shook his head. “I uh- usually sleep pretty well.” He laughed awkwardly. “Good to know nothings wrong though.”
Cali hummed in disapproval, “I’m having my dad check tomorrow to make sure everything is actually fine.”
“That’s- that’s probably a good idea,” he said nodding his head slowly.
The tea kettle screamed and Cali quickly poured the steaming water into a mug to steep the tea. Cali looked over to the other side of the counter where Mikey was sitting. He was staring off into the hallway, likely looking for one of his brothers. He looked so serene sitting there, almost like a painting.
It was such a simple scene. Two boys in the kitchen late at night. Keeping each other company in the middle of night. A comfortable silence as they sat together. It was perfect. Almost like they were a couple. Cali’s chest tightened as he focused on his task again. His fingers curled around the spoon and he stirred the blob of honey. He had to stop doing this. Mikey wouldn’t feel the same way. Taking a breath to compose himself, he set the spoon in the sink and handed the mug to Mikey.
“Thanks!” Mikey said brightly taking a long sip, “A dash of honey. Just the way I like it!” He smiled wide as he looked over at Cali.
Cali turned pink enough to match his markings and was silently thankful for the dim kitchen light. “Shut up and drink your tea so I can go back to bed.” He didn’t want to say anything right now. He didn’t trust his sleepy brain not to slip up and say something stupid.
They didn’t say anything after that. The tea drained from the mug as Mikey drank it. Cali quickly regretted his words as he watched Mikey. Words bubbled up in his chest. Confessions of love and affection. They were dammed up in his mouth, begging to break free. He couldn’t keep this up for much longer.
Mikey set the mug on the table and got up to head back to his own room. He paused when Cali didn’t get up with him and turned back to look at him.
“I’m coming. Just need a sec.” He mumbled, “ I’m so tired my limbs aren’t listening” he joked, pushing himself off the kitchen stool.
Mikey frowned and stood right in front of Cali. “Want me to carry you?” He asked head tiled in concern.
The thought of being carried to his room made his heart flutter. He leaned further into his sleepy act and mumbled something unintelligibly and let his head droop. Mikey was swift to grab him. Cali was placed bridal style in his arms and held close to Mikey’s chest.
He leaned his head against Mikey’s carapace and tried to keep his eyes open. The gentle sway of his walk and the steady thrum of the heartbeat of the boy he silently loved was lulling him to sleep. His eyelids were too heavy to keep open as they made his way to his bedroom. He had barely shut his eyes when he was placed back down.
He decided to keep his eyes shut as he felt his blanked be placed gently over him. He wanted so badly to ask him to stay. Their earlier embrace hadn’t been nearly long enough. There was a moment of hesitation before the turtle sank down beside Cali.
~
“I know you’re asleep. Thats why I’m saying this now.” He whispered barely audible, “ But I’m so so tired of acting like I’m just your friend. I want to hold you and love you and give you everything I have. You probably don’t feel the same way, but.” His voice got impossibly softer as he laid his head down next to Cali’s. “Who am I kidding. You don’t want to date a guy who’s cursed. I don’t know why I’m even saying this. You’re asleep. Probably for the better that you don’t hear this.”
It was killing him to be so close. His heart beat rapidly as he pulled the blanket to cover himself before sinking into the mattress, stiffer than a metal rod. Cali moved and he froze further. He would probably leave soon. He didn’t think he couldn’t handle being so close and yet so far. But Cali pressed his body against Mikey’s and sighed. He melted in the embrace and wrapped an arm over Cali’s sleeping form. Time seemed to slow as he touched his lips to Cali’s temple. Feather light, barely there.
Cali curled closer as Mikey felt the tea start to work through his system. His eyes dropped and he smiled softly against Cali’s spikes. Sleep finally made her way to Mikey as he laid in blissful silence. Maybe sleepless nights weren’t so bad when you had someone to share them with.
This little guy has been sitting unfinished in my notes forever so I figured it was time to finish him up and send him over because I can’t get it to work right. (I gave up.) Welp, enough of my complaining. I’m gonna go back to my cave. Until next time

look I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about electronics, but sometimes a plug is so big it blocks another socket, and I'm always like "who the fuck do you think you are"

Dick: …your not even gonna pretend to think?
Tim: about what? I can always just rise from the dead but my laptop-
Dick: what?
Tim: what?
Dick: what made u think you can rise from the dead?
Tim: well Jason did it so it’s obviously not difficult
——
Jason, in his safe house reading a book: I feel a chill or disrespectful in the air.
——
Dick: alr can you at least lie abt it
Tim: ughhhh
Dick: for me *flutters eyelashes*
Tim: Fine. *says in monotone voice* If it were either me or my laptop to be destroyed I would choose … the laptop.
Dick: thank you Timmy
Damian, walking past: Richard even you know that’s an outright lie.

if we look at the original timeline (aka annabeth and percy being born in 1993) then 2009 was a big year for annabeth bcus not only did the battle of manhattan take place and she finally started dating percy, but also minecraft came out and i think that would be a big deal to her
