Whumptober Day 9 The Very Noisy Night

Fandom: Youtuber Egos

Characters: Jackieboyman + Henrik Von Schneeplestein

Relationships: (platonic) Superdrug

Triggers: N/A 

Prompt: Sleeping in Shifts + Tossing and Turning

This may not be as “angsty” as I planned but I honestly liked the story

Jackie opened up the window closest to his room. It was midnight and the door was locked, per usual, so the only way inside the house was through the bedroom windows which most were locked; well, all of them were locked, except his window which he never locked just in case stuff like this were to happen. He decided to do this, since he’d started to go out and be out later and later. Only coming home and falling asleep for four hours before he had to go out again.

Little did Jackie know that there was also another person was also in the same situation as he. Just as he got inside and closed the window, he heard someone enter the house. He quickly changed and walked downstairs to see Henrik walk in at the same time. 

“You just got here Hen?” Jackie asked, only getting a couple sleepy mumbles in return as Henrik just crashes on the couch. Jackie decided he’d just head up to bed before he gets even more exhausted.

Throughout the night Jackie found himself unable to rest at all. He was tossing and turning for almost two hours straight so just laid there, staring at the ceiling while waiting for the time to pass so he could go out and hopefully wear himself out more before the next night. Maybe then he could get some sleep. But, it didn’t seem to work out in his favor, the time seemed to go slower and slower as each hour came. Almost as if time was slowing to a stop.

He slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes softly and went downstairs to make some of Marvins tea. Marvin would make a certain kind of tea that could put even Henrik himself to sleep. Which itself was a challenge when Henrik was trying to be busy but easy for Marvin any time. While sitting atop a stool he used, he just stared at the stove, his eyelids starting to grow heavy as he waited. Jackie had been too tired, he didn’t even notice that he never turned the stove on. His eyelids kept growing heavier as he finally shut them, entering a blissful sleep.

Morning soon rolled by and the others found Jackie asleep still by the counter, his head rested in his arms next to the burner.

Whumptober ‘21 - (Presumed Dead) Day 9

All right, I was looking back at a WIP I am working on for my new obsession, The Untamed (MDZS) and thought I would share a scene for whumptober as I am loving everybody else’s things on here. 

A little background. In this story, Lan Xichen is captured shortly after eaving Cloud Recesses, so is there during the Indoctrination. This happens after the Wens escape the Tortoise Cave.

The door opened and Lan Xichen was surprised to see Wen Chao enter, instead of Wangji. He looked around for him and Wen Chao seemed to notice.

“Oh, Lan Wangji won’t be able to visit you today, Lan-zongzhu.”

“Why?” Lan Xichen asked, his mind already filled with worst case scenarios.

“We went on an unexpected night-hunt today to go after a vicious beast that was terrorizing nearby towns. We got there and the fight was fierce. After killing the beast, the other clan started a coup where I had to flee for my own safety.” Wen Chao was enjoying this a little too much. He was trying to see if he could get a reaction from the normally diplomatic Zewu-Jun. He’s seen a lot of sides to the First Jade since he has been here and wanted some more fun, especially needing a pick me up his pride took because of Wei Wuxian’s little tirade. Darn him!

“And Wangji?” Lan Xichen asked anxiously.

“Well I got out and came home, but reports have said that they saw disciples from the Jin and Jiang clans escape out a side hole before the hole collapsed on itself. I plan to go back in a couple days when things have settled to grab the corpse of the creature and present it to my father.”

Lan Xichen looked shocked. Wen Chao decided to rub it in a little bit more. “I have no idea if your brother or Wei Wuxian made it out, but Jiang-gonzi seemed desperate and lost when he got out. Reports say he kept trying to go back in and disciples had to pull him away.”

No! It can’t be. Not Wangji as well...What did I do in a past life to deserve this? What did Wangji do?

“I am sorry for your loss, Lan Xichen. Truly.”

“Get out!” Lan Xichen growled, standing up and pulling on his chains. “I don’t want your fake pity." 

Wen Chao started to open his mouth but found it mysteriously closed.

"Get. OUT." Lan Xichen growled again.

A gust of wind howled through the open window and blew the Wens off balance.

Wen Chao hurriedly bowed in exit and the doors closed. Lan Xichen’s legs wobbled and he collapsed to the floor in a resounding thud. 

“Wangji…” he whispered. “Please don’t let it be true. Not this soon after F..Father. I…I can’t lose anybody else.” He lost the battle and tears started streaming down his face, followed by sobs. He cried himself to sleep that night, his little brother’s name on his lips.
