Buck
hey
HEYYY
Buck
wake up
BUUUUUUCKKKKKKK
are you sleeping?
I was
hiii
are you okay?
I can’t sleep
oh
so you're not hurt or anything?
no
why would you think that??
good
cause you sent me like 10 texts in a row
I did not
whatever
it was 6
you exaggerator
why can't you sleep?
idk
but it got me thinking
yeah?
what if I were a superhero?
you?
yes!
cool
so cool
what kind of superhero?
a cool one
duh
we just established that
lol
well go on
what else were you thinking?
I'm thinking insomnia would be my power
um
how?
well, I already have it
so I'm already super insomnia man
right but how do you use it?
as a super power?
I'm using it right now
so
would it like
help you fight crime cause you don't need to sleep?
fight crime??
..... yeah?
who said anything about fighting crime
that's athena's job
what?
you're a superhero
and?
you have to fight crime
it comes with the job
no
that’s not fair
no?
why should I be obligated to fight crimes just because I'm super insomnia man?
with great power comes great responsibility
by that logic, I should be out there crime fighting right now
okay so
what's your superhero job then?
I already have a job, I don't need to go back to working more than one tyvm
did you know I used to work 3 job at once?
exhausting
sounds exhausting
I worked a couple jobs at the same time once
yeah?
not fun
nope
didn't leave much time for anything else
but we do what we gotta to provide for our families
and they weren't cool jobs like firefighting
yeah
what were they?
bartender and ..... I can't remember the word
assistant?
office boy
assistant office boy
I did typing and filing for a bit
is that your sidekick name?
it sucked though
sure 😅
yeah, desk jobs are sucky
super insomnia man and assistant office boy
perfect non-crime fighting duo
💪
I think instead of fighting crime
we should bake
like cookies and things
not like blazing it
😂
okay
I like baking
how good would that be?
that would be awesome
just baking cookies and giving them out to people
that's how we fight crime
you're making me hungry
by making people so happy with free cookies they just decide not to crime
I love it
awesome
we can stay up all night baking
it’s a flawless plan
ty ty
maybe I should start now
I wonder if I have baking ingredients
make sure your fire extinguisher is nearby....
rude
😘
ooh
💋
okay, so
if I'm going to use my super powers, my sidekick needs to come and help
you want me to come over?
buck it's 2.30 am
OF COURSE I want you to come over
okay
gimme a few mins to get ready
but like uber, okay?
don’t sleep drive
okay
I'll make coffee too
oh, bring me a cup?
sure if you want
great
uber is booked
alright, I have half a stick of butter
is that enough for midnight cookies?
depends how many you wanna make
hm
it should be fine to start with
well, how many crimes do we wanna stop tonight?
all of them
no that's too many 😅
um
idk
that's sooo many
we need to leave some for athena
she'll be furious if we cost her her job
😬
hey do you want your coffee in the blue travel mug or the red one?
blueeee
👍
what kind of sugar do we need for cookies?
I have four different types?? how did I get four types of sugar?
that's probably my fault
I was gonna blame you tbh
lol
we can work with whatever you've got
okay
don’t worry about it
I might just eat some of the brown sugar while I wait for you
save me some
sure thing babe
have you been stocking my pantry when I'm not looking?
hey, um
oh
yeah
kinda
is that okay?
Idk what craisins even are, but I have a packet of them
and I definitely didn't buy white chocolate
but I want them both in the cookies now, so thank you
you’re welcome
what were you gonna say?
hm?
oh
before, you said 'um'
have you been drinking?
no
why?
I was just wondering
how long have you been awake?
let me think
since ........ Tuesday
wow
after we bake do you wanna try to sleep?
I’ve been trying
but I am super insomnia man
maybe you just need your sidekick
I would love to have my sidekick
are you gonna come to bed with me then?
uh
do you want me to?
mhm
then yes
great
super insomnia man and assistant office boy, together at last
what do you mean? together at last?
'cause you're coming over and we're gonna share the bed
right
okay, I have all the ingredients out
these craisin things are niiiiice
you'll have to buy some more for me
sure
I'm almost there btw
great
and I have your coffee
fantastic
I may have accidentally sipped from it
gasp!
now it'll be all germy
sorry
I forgot which one was mine
I forgive you
thanks
I'm getting the flour ready
for our bake
we're gonna make the yummiest cookies ever
yes please
ooooops
what?
I dropped the flour machine on the floor
made a bit of a mess
oh noooo
I'll be there soon and I'll help clean it up
it's okay, I'm on it
but maybe I'll leave the flour to you
I'm happy to help
also, pulling up now
I'm happy if you're happy
ohhh, you're here
I am
you're the greatest person
I know 😉
🥰
love you, sidekick
come and bake crime-fighting cookies with me
I love you too
knock knock

morning
um
hey
you’re awake
did I deliriously text you last night?
a little bit
okay
you were pretty tired
sorry
it’s okay
I still am tired tbh
what time is it?
I’m not surprised
you have the time on your phone… 😅
it’s just after 11
oh, so I have to read for myself?
have you been up long?
did you go home?
couple hours
no, I’m still here
great
you can't have had much sleep then
it’s okay
I'm not that tired tbh
oh, good
sorry I woke you in the middle of the night
no worries, really not a bad way to wake up
well, thanks
did we bake cookies?
if you need to go back to sleep you can
yeah, we did
oh
I don't think I can sleep
I made sure chris didn't eat them all when he found them
😅
I bet he had them for breakfast
..... he may have had one for breakfast
knew it
he gave me his puppy dog eyes
he does them so well
he really does
I should get up
you probably want to go home not spend our day off watching christopher
I don’t mind
don't get up on my account
oof
I tried to get up but my body doesn't want to work
take it easy
do you want me to bring you some water?
I’d prefer coffee
okay
gimme a few
you’re the best
thank you
no problem
can you bring me a cookie too?
ah, damn
surprise ruined 😉
are they all gone? 😭
ohhh
phew
definitely not all gone
fantastic
alright
here I come
can't wait to see you
the bringer of sustenance
[time skip]
heyyyyyyyyyy
buckkk
buckles
buckaroo
wake up
eddie?
hiii
hey
super insomnia man strikes again
ah
can I count on my sidekick to bake some crime-fighting muffins with me?
I bought more butter 😉
yeah of course
really??
just give me a minute to wake up
are we gonna cuddle again too?
you can have all the minutes
cuddlesss
yes
the cuddles were amazing
they seemed to help you sleep last time
oh
you noticed that?
yeah
well, you're right
you make me feel safe
oh
good
😊
I just want you here all the time
all the time?
are you asking me to move in?
yep
would you?
maybe
oh
where would I sleep?
well, with me of course
of course
right
unless you don't like it
maybe we should talk about this when you're not quite so sleep deprived
it's fine, I slept two days ago
five whole hours
that’s amazing
well done
thanks
alright
I'm getting in an uber
you’re so wonderful
I adore you so much
I’ll be there soon
great
and I'm just doing what any friend would do
no
you’re not
I could never ask another friend to be my midnight sidekick
no other friend would cuddle with me just so I can sleep
well, they should
I don’t want them to
I mean, friends should do this for each other
anyway
you'd do the same for me, right?
I'd do anything for you
but I love you, so that's why
right
cause we’re friends
yeah
sure
......... eddie?
mm?
what do you mean when you say you love me?
you're my heart and soul, buck
in a..... romantic way?
or a friend way?
well, obviously
what?
what do you mean obviously?
did I use the wrong word?
oh
idk
no, that's what I meant
obviously, buck
it’s not obvious
at least not to me
😭
do I not show you that I love you enough?
no, I….
I know you love me
I just didn't know it was.... more than friends
… oh
that is what you're saying, right?
you love me more than friends?
well, yeah
wow
that’s amazing
........... it is??
so you're still coming over?
yes to both
and it's amazing because I love you too
you do?
I do
wow
also
I’m here
but I didn't bring coffee this time
oh
no coffee?
but .... yes cuddles?
yes cuddles
wonderful
I was thinking maybe we could go straight to cuddles?
I love touching you
bake muffins tomorrow?
okay
well, crimes may happen between now and then
but okay
I think if we cuddle hard enough we'll be able to stop some crimes
hard cuddles, huh
yeah
maybe even a kiss
if you want
a kissssss
I want
so I should come in and kiss you?
yes
with tongue please
wow
okay
👅
💋
here I come
wow
I’m dizzy
come and catch me
