Chapter Text
Squeak squeak squeak. Ten PM. Ding ding ding. Eleven PM. “GAH- shit shit!” Twelve AM. One AM. Two, three, four, nearing five-
“Done!”
And done they were.
“I’m exhausted. Med, why exactly did you want me to help you again? I didn't even know what I was building half the time.”
Subspace slumps down in his chair it rolls back slightly from the force of the push of his body against it. The back of his chair hit the wall with a thump, which in turn a little grunt escaped out of him.
“A time machine!”
“A time machine huh. You got me making a bean can.”
Subspace rolled his eyes and crossed his arms and glared at Medkit in exasperation.
“It’s not a bean can Sub, this will take us to the future!”
“Why do you want to go to the future?”
“You know… I never thought of that.”
“I’m going to sleep. Wake me up when you actually have something.”
“Yeah, actually I'm going to bed too. It’s really late..”
Medkit stretches, his joints audibly popping. Yawning, he fanned his face trying to get rid of the yawn; turning towards Subspace waiting for him to get up because he had the key to their dormitory.
“You gotta push me to the room.”
“I’m not doing that.”
Medkit walks beside Subspace and his chair. He grabbed the headrest of the chair, pushing it forward gently before fully pushing and strolling down to their shared dormitory. Halfway down the hall Medkit spun Subspace around for funsies which did get Subspace a little annoyed.
“You’re not funny.”
“C’mon, do you have no joy or what?”
“Pft- I do it’s just you got me working to the dead of night.”
“Okay that’s fair. Look, I really wanted to do this with you and you are always so busy with random stuff.”
“Yeah, I am pretty busy. I try to make room for you in my day which really only consists of saying a word or two.”
“Exactly, I really wish you could visit more often. This is like the most conversation I've had with you in a while.”
“You don’t say.”
Medkit continued pushing Subspace until they reached their room, Subspace got off the chair and shoved it into the room. The chair bumped into the wall a little rougher than he thought but it’s whatever. Subspace walks further inside and into the bathroom. He walked inside and took a good look of himself in the mirror, he could see the eyebags already forming. His hair was a mess, he ran a hand through his hair.
"I look fucking disgusting."
He told himself in a low voice... He picked up his toothbrush and toothpaste, applying the green and white paste onto the plastic bristles. Medkit was waiting outside, he was biting on his nails, occasionally picking at his skin, or even itching his scalp. It was a little habit of his he had developed over the years.
Subspace finally finished in the bathroom and allowed Medkit inside since he was so patiently waiting. Medkit got inside shutting the door behind him. Medkit got to the sink and looked at himself in the mirror as well.
"I need some sleep right now."
He sighed, he grabbed his toothbrush ready to brush teeth.
Now that the twos very important nightly hygiene is out of the way they can finally sleep for the night. Their room has two beds but they'd rather sleep with each other. Medkit says he's always cold by himself in a bed and Subspace says it's because Medkit's scared of the dark. Of course they are both lying and actually secretly love each other.
They both got settled into bed. Medkit wraps his arms around Subspace and Subspace rested his head between Medkit's horns on top of his head. Subspace pulls the covers over the two.
"I'm exhausted."
"I know you are, just close your eyes for me."
"You too."
Medkit snuggles into Subspace's chest. Breathing his scent in, he smells really good.. All Medkit could think of. Subspace shut his eyes and finally gave into the pull of sleep...
