Thirteenth Beat | The way it feels to be alive

Characters: Dave Strider[AU] and Dirk Strider
Format: Any
This log is: Closed
Location: Black 2-A Dorm
Summary: Dave doesn't sleep well the night after receiving the memory back of his Sis' death. Cue him trying to find somewhere to sleep that isn't his own bed that may fair better for his shitty sleeping habits. Somehow he just ends up in Dirk's bed. Oh well.
Warnings: Striders. Obnoxious levels of gross lameness. These warnings need their own warnings.

It's a blur to him. The rest of the day went well, surprisingly. He was torn about the memory, but he kind of just pushed it off like usual.

Dave ended up going to sleep forgetting that he remembered. He had linked with Jade and that was good. It's too bad he had forgotten about the dream boat pendant he was given. It was sitting on his turntables, having left it there when he was done with them for the day.

His dreams were in a blood red and it was nothing but chaotic. He can't remember much from it other than it was terrible. It probably had Sis in it. Maybe that Bro guy from whatever universe Bro was present. He really doesn't want to think too much on it. Screaming ringed in his ears as he crawled out of his bed. He left the dorm to the bathroom. Dave wasn't sure if he was going to be able to go back to sleep. He ended up on the roof for a short while but gave up and went back to the dorm, slightly weary. He just stood at the doorway, considering going back out. Maybe go to a different dorm, but ends up deciding against it when he's too insecure too go bother someone else about it.

Oh. Dave kind of just glances at the ground. He was pretty sure Dirk was joking around, but there were times where he tried. Not that it would ever actually change anything. In the end, he was okay with it, but Dave got insecure about it sometimes, and the words were familiar. Innocent kids too young to understand asking him the same thing.

'I've tried.'

[fracturedsoul]

Come on, Dave. It was obviously a rhetorical question.

"There's your answer. It ain't happening, so there's no use wishing for it."

[knightime]

Sometimes he can be real dumb and take things a little too literally.

He kind of just nods back at Dirk.
