There was a buzzing in his ear.

Pure white noise, not painful at all just extremely annoying, come to thing of it, everything was extremely annoying to him right now.

It was another one of those day-weeks where sleep simply evaded him and if forced himself into unconsciousness he'd only wake up on the brink of a panic attack because of a nightmare that made absolutely no sense to him.

Grumbling  he got out of bed and went to wash his face and use the bathroom, ignoring the obnoxious ringing in his ears. He just made it back to his room in time to grab his phone and check the time before he was suddenly and painfully summoned.

Having not expected - or being to too tired to expect it, he ended up stumbling off the stairs. His only saving grace and possibly the only reason he didn't end up with a concussion was because he landed on Thomas.

"Oof!"

The others quickly scrambled to help the two.

Anxiety was holding his head and rubing his eyes while leaning on Dad. Thomas was rubbing his shoulder, and was being braced by Prince.

After making sure his arm wasn't deslocated, the host turned to his youngest manifestation.

"Anxiety are you ok? I've been calling you for the past ten minutes-"

"Yeah kiddo, it's rude to not answer a summons", piped Morality from somewhere to his left.

"Oh, a summons, so that's what the buzzing was", mumbled the Dark trait. His voice was so small and laced with fatigue that the others hardly heard him.

"What did you say Anxiety?"

Said personality looked up at Logic, and then shook his head. "No-nothing, nevermind"

With that he stood up, very shakily.

Everyone was starring at him worriedly.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

" 'M fine Thomas, jus' *yawn* tired", the youngest personality continued rubbing his eyes.

When he opened them again, the others were still watching him.

Startled he took a step back.

"What?"

"Uh, you guys see it too right?", The manifestor sounded intrigued?

"See what? Thomas you're starting to freak me out, man"

They continued to stare at him prompting Anxiety to pull his hood over his head and as if a spell had been broken the others quickly muttered an apology. Patton of course was the one to explain to the startled younger.

"Sorry, champ, but we didn't realize that you have freckles!"

Anxiety blinked before touching his face and then groaning, he always washed off his make up before bed, so for once his pale face was foundation free, great.

Rolling his eyes at his elders ogling, he snapped at his host.

"Why am I here?"

Thomas gave him a small grin, rubbing his neck sheepishly.

"So of all fifty of these things I think we can use about five each in different videos and these last five in sander sides videos because lets face it these are pretty funny, what do you think Anxiety-"

Said dark trait was dead asleep.

Apparently sometime during Thomas' off listing all the personalities had gathered on the couch. Roman and Logan were on the ends leaving Anxiety and Morality in the middle.

Anxiety had finally succumbed to his exhaustion and had unconsciously curled onto Logic. The Teacher obviously not one for contact didn't really know what to do but he wasn't averse to having the younger on him, he simply didn't know where to place his hands.

Thankfully, Patton had the solution, gently he manuvered Anxiety's form onto a pillow on Logan's lap, he then stretched out the younger's legs over his own lap, leaving the Darker trait to sleep peacefully atop his two elders.

Princey on the side of course was taking pictures and probably snap chatting the "event", after all it wasn't often you saw an Anxiety without his make up on. Since his hood had fallen back the moment he fell asleep, the younger's entire sleeping face was in full veiw and Roman could not deny that it was adorable.

Morality soon joined the Prince, taking out his phone and snapping a picture aswell.

"Freckles you guys!" He whisper giggled.

Logic rolled his eyes fondly, before gently playing in Anxiety's hair.

Thomas shook his head, his personalities were truly an eclectic bunch.
