Darryl POV

I woke up and check the time.

The clock read 10:00 am.

I got up instantly and went to the bathroom. People call me an early bird because of how easily I get up in the morning.

That's the problem with living with Zak. I'm an early bird and he's a night owl. I sleep early and wake up early. But he sleeps extremely late and wakes up late.

Since it was 10 I expected him to be asleep for a least another hour or two. But while I was in the kitchen making coffee, I heard footsteps.

And in stumbled Zak.

The first thing I noticed were the bags under his eyes. He looked so tired. Usually he looked a bit tired but now it was more than usual.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" I asked him.

"Yep, 14 quality hours of sleep." He said. His speech was slow and a bit slurred.

I don't think he got anything close to 14 hours of sleep.

He walked into the kitchen and instantly tripped. I caught him at the last second and he giggled.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, 100% good." He replied.

That makes no sense, but okay.

"Are you tired?" I asked.

"Nope." He said, making a popping sound on the p.

"Uh huh." I muttered.

I grabbed his hand, "Come with me."

I began to drag him to his room and he started to ramble, "Where are we going? I hope we're going somewhere fun. I really feel like having ice cream. Wait, are we going to get ice cream? I hope we are."

When I sat him on his bed though, he frowned.

"I don't wanna sleep." I whined, "I'm not tired."

"You need sleep." I said.

"No."

"Yes."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do."

"NO." He shouted.

I rolled my eyes, it was like having an argument with a toddler. I pushed him so he would be laying down, then I put a blanket over him.

"Goodnight Darryl" He whispered, his eyes closing.

I smiled a little and walked out the door. RIGJT before I closed it I heard him whisper, "Love you."
