His eyes slowly opened as he woke from sleep and he found himself staring at the ceiling. This went on for a few moments until he realized that yes, he was awake and quite against his will at that. He glanced over at the clock noting the time and cursed. He had only been asleep for an hour. He had been plagued with insomnia for the past two months getting little to no sleep. The doctors told him it was a side effect of stress but he wholeheartedly believed it was the universes attempt to slowly drive him insane. And it was starting to work. If he didn't get a full nights sleep soon he would kill someone.

He threw the blankets off himself and sat up turning to glare at the peacefully slumbering form next to him. Hoe he envied Taichi and his ability to sleep when he felt like sand was constantly being poured into his eyes and they were burning so bad he was sure the would quite literally fall out of their sockets. And the way he saw it, if he was miserable Taichi had to be as well. So he pulled the blankets off him as well and started pulling his hair. Tai batted at his hands unsuccessfully for a while before becoming annoyed enough to actually wake up.

"What the fuck, Yama?" he asked his voice scratchy from sleep. He could barely open his eyes.

"I can't sleep," Taichi became more alert after this statement and sat up leaning into Yamato for support.

"Still? Did you try that medicine I got you?"

"Didn't work."

"You want to at least lay down and rest?" He asked rubbing his eyes and yawning.

Yamato glared at him. "You and I both know that won't work."

"Then why did you wake me up? I can't do anything to help you, Yama."

"Yes you can." Taichi looked at him in confusion. "You can keep me company. As long as I can't sleep neither can you."

A look of abject horror crossed Taichi's face. "Yama, you're the one with insomnia, not me."

"I know, but I'm going to keep you up with me as long as I can't sleep. It's boring staying up by myself."

"You say that like it wouldn't be when I'm there. I'll be half asleep the entire night and you'll be a grumpy bitch because of it and the fact that you can't sleep."

"I guess that gives you the incentive needed to find a way to get me to sleep doesn't it."

"You're out of your fucking mind, Yamato," Taichi whispered still in the throws of shock and horror.

"Maybe, but you would be too after two months of sleeplessness."

"How the hell am I even remotely responsible for this?" he asked incredulously.

"My insomnia is stress related," he said simply. When all he got from Taichi was a blank stare he elaborated. "You contribute to a great deal of my stress, Tai."

You're stressed out because you are working too much, not because of me."

"Either way my decision still stands."

Taichi sighed throwing himself back on the mattress and closing his eyes. "I guess. Well, tomorrow night then."

"Who said anything about tomorrow? We're starting tonight." Taichi's eyes flew open in shock and Yamato dragged him from the bed and in the general direction of the living room. When they settled in front of the T.V. And Yamato started flipping through late night infomercials, Taichi knew he was in hell. He had to find a way to get Yamato to sleep and fast.
