Charlie is asleep, curled up in a small ball with a customized PS4 controller in hand, the design on it cats eating pasta. But that's not really important. What matters is Charlie is curled up in a small ball when she wanted to be awake so she could greet her boyfriend when he arrived.

A lot happened in the past few weeks and while Charlie tends to be fairly easy going, she hits limits and hits them hard. it had been a succession of one thing after another, one of the things being a few coworkers having to quit due to school and other obligations. Which was fine, she got it. But filling those positions and training newbies was never fun for her.

And then customers being dicks and having nightmares about Nolan.

She'd hit a limit and decided to call Rocky and ask him to join her for a staycation. A much needed staycation.


And she really did plan to stay awake to await his arrival, putting in inFamous: Second Son to play until he got there, but it was while she was powering Delsin's Neon abilities up when it hit her how tired she was from everything. She only intended to close her eyes for a few minutes, but that turned into a couple hours and she didn't hear Rocky use the key she hid for him to let himself in.

"You'll get work done and we'll make a video together later in the week. Something ridiculous, even though I have a backlog."

When he pulls out his phone and starts recording, she just curls herself against his chest and smiles, listening to the gentle tones of his voice and even giving the video a smile and a wave...and a yawn that she's quick to apologize for.

"I'll make sure he gets that video out for you soon. I promise."

"Talks in her sleep a lot, this one." Rocky observes with a mock amazed look, melting into a grin as he turns back to the camera. "Any rate, you can probably expect at least one collab while I'm here, and possibly some more late videos unless I do phone vlogs like this one. In the meantime? Until I post, I'll ask the usual favor: go find your favorites, and share them with a friend. While you're at it..."

He pauses, bending his head to kiss Charlie's temple with a grin.

"...do the same for McEats. And, on that note? I'm sleeps now--no dirty stuff, but I fully expect fanart of my sleepy girlfriend. Fluffiest I find will be a thumbnail on the next fangame I play. So everyone out there, good night, take care...and as always...be good lifeforms!"

With a wave, he stops recording, tosses his phone somewhere on the bed, and flops down to bury his face against the back of Charlie's neck.

"Mmmmm...'night. Gotta rest up for that sex I promised you in the morning."
