Warning:
Currently, Dirk was laying on the floor, along with the rest of his siblings. Dirk, being used as the human body pillow with Dave laying half on half off his chest. Roxy taking up his left shoulder and Rose was buried in the crook of Dirks neck on his right.
Bleary orange eyes opened, he winced at the small beam of light that managed to poke him in the eye. Much like a rabid eyelash. He wrinkled his nose and looked around.
Staring into the calm and relaxed face of Rose, the drooling face of Roxy, and the still straight face of Dave. After looking at Dave, he suddenly remembered the fact that he need cool shades like his.
Slowly, he slid Dave off his chest and set him on the ground and away from the annoying ray from the oh-so wonderful ball of heat. Slowly but surly, he untangled himself from the cuddlers know as his brother and sisters.
He stretched, popping his back and knuckles before heading off into the kitchen to make himself some burnt cereal. Because obviously, you're supposed to put cereal into the microwave. It's what every normal person does!
No matter what other people say!
Though, he didn't necessarily feel like eating warm coca puffs and warm milk this morning.
After making his breakfast, he sat down to eat and think over how much a pair of sun glasses would cost as well as how much two mattresses and sheets as well as pillows and comforters. Or, he could just get a cot, buy one mattress and give up his bed, seeing as Roxy's was covered beer, vodka, and any other alcoholic drinks she could find.
Maybe he could buy a futon...
He could deal.
He let his spoon slip into the bowl before getting up and putting it into the sink, making a note to make Roxy do the dishes. Though, if she tried to throw another wine bottle, he'd take away her drinks and make her sleep in the closet again while making the Grudge sounds.
He yawned, before making his way to the little cramped bathroom and doing his morning routine.

Dirk walked out of the bathroom, toweling his hair. After drying his hair, he slipped his pointy anime shades on. Feeling less vulnerable with his shades on.
He noticed that Roxy and Rose somehow managed to curl up together, while Dave was by himself. He sighed, walking back into his room and picking up one of his best friends, Lil' Cal.
His father had given him the puppet. Apparently passed down from him, from his father, from his father's father and so on and so on.
Carefully, almost loving, Dirk set Lil' Cal into Dave's arms. As if afraid that the strong puppet would crumble.
Dirk gave both his puppet, now his little brother's, and Dave a soft pat on the head. He let out a small, barely noticeable smile.
He stood up, his knees popping from crouching.
He yawned, muffling it to keep it from waking the ever light sleeper Roxy. Hopefully she didn't have a nightmare.
Roxy had started having fierce nightmares that made her sleep walk, often, she'd end up outside or sometimes even under Dirk's bed. Usually in very odd places, one time, Dirk had even found her half in half out of the cabinet in the kitchen with her leg in a jar of grape jelly.
Dirk sighed, running his hand through his hair. Considering sunglasses costs about ten dollars, while a mattress about fifty...Adds up to about sixty dollars. Dirk guessed they could use towels for blankets...
All in all, Dirk decided he'd need about seventy to a ninety dollars.
He groaned at the mental math.
Dirk scratched the back of his head, before getting a pen and paper and writing a quick note.
Just wondering where and how he'd get the money...maybe he could borrow some from Sollux, or Equius.
Equius was loaded...so he probably wouldn't care...but he was stingy with money, especially since living with his girlfriend, or was she his fiancé now? He lost track after awhile, always destroyed something.
He grabbed his wallet and his favorite orange hat, taking one last look at his brother and sisters before heading out, and locking the door.
Why do I always write things that have "what the heff were you on when you wrote this? " stamped on it?
Now, back to playing Fatal Frame III on Normal (Or whatever I pick _ )
XDD I had my tablet plugged in to draw, but then I got a hit "Oh my god! Ideas~! " *Quickly pulls up OpenOffice. And starts typing like I'm a squirrel on crack *
Shameless shipping of EquiusXNepeta? Hell yes. :D
Okay! I'm watching My strange addiction and this girl, she drinks nail polish and she reminds me so much of Terezi 0_0 It's so weird!
