It was movie night, the usual trio was sitting on the couch sorta watching. Frisk’s attention span was fighting between the phone and the tv, Clover was deep in thought about something and Chara was just sitting there with their red eyes glued to their screen as they ate their chocolate bar slowly. The cowboy always found it funny how something as simple as a phone or a television can absorb all of their attention that fast but they could tell the first fallen was tired as he watched their eyes start to drop slowly at the same time trying to stay awake. 

Clover just found it silly watching this tired catastrophe which is how they would put it. A small laugh was let out.

“Tryna stay awake huh?”. She asked in a joking manner.

“Shut up cowboy,”. They yawned slowly showing it was a losing battle trying to stay up. 

“It's alright to sleep ya know”. They spoke.

“You know I don’t want to sleep”. Eyes darted away for a moment, Clover’s expression softened as they slowly scooched over close to Chara trying to give them some comfort. 

“I know but… nothing's gonna happen to ya, me and Frisk are here”. The reason was vague as to why the first fallen hated going to sleep, why there were sleepless nights and how it’s obvious that they were tired constantly.

“While that’s true, I just don’t want to sleep… it's… dumb”. They huffed. 

“Can’t be that dumb,”.

“It's just… I’m scared that if I close my eyes… I won’t ever wake up like last time. Being awake constantly gives me some solace that nothing bad will happen”. They looked at the cowpoke, red eyes boring into his yellow eyes. “I don’t want to sleep permanently again… Clover”. 

Wait, so you don’t like me shipping two characters? Oh my gosh, I promise I’ll stop now, sorry anon…
