Finney Blake stared at the ceiling while Vance was sleeping. He just couldn't sleep. Too many thoughts swarmed his head.

'I wonder how long it would take people to realize if you stopped talking.'

'No one would actually care if you died.'

'They're faking it.'

'If you eat again you'll get fat. You don't want to lose your friends do you?'

'They hate you.'

'They're only your friend out of pity.'

Finney sighed, and got off the couch, being careful not to disturb Vance in his sleep. He walked upstairs, to see the boys in the living room playing cards.

"UNO, bitch!!" Robin laughed, placing down his last card. Griffin groaned.

"This is the fifth time you've won!!" Bruce slapped his cards down on the table.

"You've gotta be cheating!" Billy gripped his hair in his hands.

"Nah! It's just cuz' uno is a Spanish word!"
Griffin exclaimed, slamming his hands on the table, gripping the ends. Robin gasped.

"Just because I'm fucking Mexican, doesn't mean- man, I don't even know.." Robin sat back, glancing to the door where Finney leaned against.

"Finney! How are you feeling?" Robin got up.

"Fucking fruit cup.." griffin mumbled, and robins head snapped back.

"What was that?" Robin glared, and griffin shrugged.

"Must've been the wind."

"Hm." Robin replied, before turning back to finn. "You wanna come play with us?"

Finney smiled, but shook his head.
"No thanks, but I can watch."

"Cool. Come over here, you can sit next to me." Robin smiled, and they both sat down.

•••

It was now the tenth game of uno, and robin won every time.

"THIS GAME IS FUCKING RIGGED!" Griffin yelled, flipping the table.

"GRIFFIN OLIVER STAGG." Marie yelled, storming into the living room.

"Sorry mom..." griffin quieted down, staring at his feet.

"Yeah, you better be." Marie glared, before completely switching personalities when seeing Finney. "Hey, Finney. How are you feeling, dear?" Marie asked, and Finney smiled.

"I'm feeling better." Finney replied, making Marie smile.

"That's good to hear. I'm always here if you need anything, okay?" Marie said, and Finney nodded.

"Thanks."

And then Marie walked away.
"Hah, loser. Getting scolded by your mom." Robin grinned, and griffin glared.

"Shut the fuck up you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper."
Robin looked absolutely dumbfounded, while the others were laughing their asses off.

"Damn, bro went there!" Billy laughed.

"M-MEATSLAPPER???" Bruce cackled.

"Shut up, you asshat." Robin gritted his teeth.
Even Finney couldnt contain his laughter.
While the boys were still laughing, Vance managed to get up and walk upstairs.

"What's going on?" Vance rubbed his eyes, adjusting to the light.

"What's up, lover boy?" Griffin snickered.
