#also trotter that bed is waaay to small for you

[chipper-smol]

Here’s the silly lil drabble of Trotter pining. It’s gonna seem a little rambly, but that’s because it’s in Trotter’s perspective.

Trotter lies staring wide eyed at the ceiling. He's been staring for the last fifteen minutes. Other people might think that he's an insomniac waiting for sleep to take him, but it's really because he doesn't know how to fully digest all the events of the past day. Trotter takes a deep breath.

Trotter holds his globe and,

"Eeeeeeee!" he twists around left and right under his covers.

Cygnus was a gift from heaven. He had to be! He was literally a celestial body- Trotter technically was too but he feels like hes more of a classroom globe than anything. Cygnus is an amazingly strong and patient black hole. Cygnus has said before that it takes a lot of control to keep himself from randomly floating small things. That's so awesome! The talent! And he doesn't even brag or complain about it! Trotter was just asking if he ever pulled his tea out of his mug too fast- Cygnus said yes- and he explained his whole gravity thing!!!

I wonder how it feels, to be swept up weightlessly into his orbit. Cygnus wasn't physically strong at all- Trotter found that out within the first moment of re-meeting his best friend- crush??? AAah, it feels so weird to think that!!!

Trotter goes into another fit of twisting and squealing into his hands.

Cygnus was also so considerate! When they were walking through the park some kid threw a frisbee their way and it accidentally clonked Cygnus in the arm. Not only did Cygnus not seem upset, he spun the frisbee around and launched it back over to the kids with a laugh! What if he does that with other things? Is Cygnus good at bear pong? God what he would give to have experienced college with Cygnus. He should ask- what would Cygnus even be like drunk? He’s so reserved and clean, speaking proper and having everything in order. Would he get cuddly? Would he get vocal and loud? Would he crack dirty jokes? What if he lost focus on his gravitational pull. Oh no, that would be bad. Maybe not suggest a bar for their next daaaahhaaate- daaa-adate- date??? Oh jeez, that wasn’t a date! Don’t think about it like that Trotter!

Trotter groans into the pillow and kicks his legs into the mattress.

His voice too- so smooth and soft. It’s easy to talk over and Trotter feels bad that he sometimes cuts him off- but Cygnus doesn’t mind? He’s always listening intently- like he likes listening to him. People usually get fed up with Trotter’s verbal diaherra but Cygnus sticks through it??? How is he so patient? Trotter never realized that Cygnus has never rudely cut him off with a shush motion or attempted to talk louder than him. Man that’s so nice. He should listen to Cygnus more. Ask him more questions. Like- whats his favorite tea? How did he realize he liked tea? Did someone suggest it or did he find it from a TV show? What kind of shows does he watch? OOhh he probably watches those national geographic or blue planet documentaries! But those aren’t really shows? Maybe he likes shows like Black Mirror. Has he ever watched The Office? OOh that’s a good one to ask. Trotter hopes Cygnus hasn’t yet because it would be the best thing ever to rewatch a favorite show of his and watch Cygnus’s reactions. Cygnus doesn’t look like he reacts much but Trotter has figured out some of his tells.

Sometimes Cygnus will drum his fingers once if hes irritated. Other times the light band around his head will expand and contract real quick if hes embarrassed. He also cracks his knuckles when he has something on his mind- whether to share a point or somethings stressing him out or-

Trotter continues like this for the next 3 hours.
