I was heavily inspired by a oneshot written by Twisted Pichu called 'Not Annoying' you can read it here Fanfiction .net/s/6270069/1/Not_Annoying It created the pairing First Anime Sloth x Manga Sloth. I really liked it because I absolutely love Manga Sloth and he doesn't get enough love. So I decided to write my own thing to it as well.
Talking is tiring. Far too tiring. How anyone ever had the energy to do it amazed him. But he never thought about it too much. That was too tiring as well. Envy talked a lot. He stood there, when he could be sitting, talking to him endlessly. It made him tired to listen. He was asleep before Envy finished. He did wake up after being kicked in the head multiple times.
"You can sleep later! You need to guard this prisoner! Father says if you let her get away you'll get a job where you won't be able to sleep for weeks!"
"Sloth….want…to..sleep."
"Were you listening at all? If you don't wake up and guard her now you won't ever be able to sleep!"
"Sloth…will guard…woman?"
"Yes, good boy." Envy rolled his eyes and sighed, exasperated. "Follow me, she's being kept down the hall."
Sloth wanted to ask about the woman, but just thinking about it was already too much energy wasted. He slugged behind Envy until they came to a stop outside a door that Lust was standing in front of. The two of them talked for a minute but Sloth was already fading in and out of sleep. He forced himself awake to watch Envy and Lust walk down the hallway.
The hall was quiet and he was already wondering how long this would take. He was just dozing off when a voice floated through the door, "Hello."
Talking was tiring, far too tiring, but not when he was talking to her. They would whisper through the door and he would never fall asleep. They were both sin, they were both Sloth, they were both lonely, but they were both happy. Together. Days passed, Father came by once. She mentioned someone called Dante.
Sloth decided he didn't want her locked up. He decided it wasn't fair. He opened the door to her cell. And she didn't run. He admitted to himself that he was afraid she'd leave. But thinking about it too much was tiring. They still talked. She did finally run though. When Father turned the corner with Envy and Pride in tow. They chased after her, Pride tried to kill her. She tried to turn back and say something to him. But she couldn't, she had to run. So she turned to water and disappeared.
Envy could have been digging, using his huge form to move rocks. Pride could have been digging, drilling the hole with his powerful shadows. Gluttony could have been digging, eating away walls of dirt. But Sloth fell in love. So Sloth was punished. So Sloth was imprisoned in that hole, tired and lonely, tediously pushing rocks and dirt aside. He was tired. He wanted to sleep. He wanted to talk to her again.
