Wakko can't sleep.
He realizes he needs to, but he's too distracted with games and videos on his tablet.
Or at least the one that's used most by him. It's just labeled as his by him and his siblings when in reality it's supposed to be the family tablet, but he feels somewhat guilty about claiming it as his own. The other 2 have their own phones though.
Wakko lies awake in the top bunk of the bed, holding the tablet to his face, screen brightness at lowest to save battery and not get caught by his brother and sister, battery at 23%. He knows that he needs to stop staying up so late with the tablet, but he can't. He always has this feeling that he needs to check it every 2 minutes, despite not having social media.
Technology addiction.
The clock on the tablet reads 6:42 AM. His siblings are going to wake up in about 3 hours. It's the first all-nighter he's pulled in a while. His eyes feel dry. Be could close them at any second if he wanted to, but he doesn't bother.
He hears one of his siblings stir, probably Yakko based on the sound. He quickly turns off the tablet screen and lays it down flat on his chest as he lies still. About 10 seconds pass and Wakko knows he's safe to turn the tablet back on.
Knowing how loud the lowest volume is, he covers the speaker lightly as he watches mukbangs and Mr. Beast Gaming videos. Those are perfect for all nighters. He also watched dank meme compilations, but he didn't understand most of them since they were targeted towards kids like Yakko.
That's all he's been doing all night. Watching YouTube.
I need sleep. Can't fall asleep too late or they'd catch onto how late it is while I'm still asleep, Wakko thought to himself. He closed his eyes for a moment to let his eyes have a small break, then he opened them again to keep them practically dried out. He didn't want to sleep. Especially since recently, after filming the "Please Submit" segment for the reboot a month ago, he's been having recurring nightmares which is why he's been trying to get the tablet in his hands at night.
So that he wouldn't have to deal with the nightly flashbacks of that episode. It was all too much for him.
Soon Wakko found himself drifting off to sleep. He checked the clock on the tablet: 7:45 AM. He'd been awake for almost 22 hours. He remembered something that made him groan silently.
They had an appointment with Scratchy at 10. He'll only get one hour of sleep if he doesn't turn off the tablet now
Begrudgingly, Wakko closes out all the apps that were open on the device and he turned off the tablet screen. It was at 4% anyways, so he would have to get off regardless.
He sets the tablet by his pillow and pulls his blanket up to his shoulders as he rolls over to his side.
He closes eyes and drifts off immediately.
End.
