I put in my other headphone and continued to listen to Bo Burnham. But the funny thing is, if I decided to look again at Tommy, I would see his face tomato red.
---------
It has been a few hours since we even boarded the plane (a few hours as in 2-3) and I haven't slept once. I wasn't much of a plane-sleeper though. It was hard enough for me to fall asleep in cars.
I was basically skimming through me and my friend's different playlists the whole time. I finished listening to the whole Bo Burnham Inside album, so I had gotten a bit tired of him.
I looked down at my hands. The plane had gotten much darker. The lights did help, but most of the light at first was natural. Now the sun had mostly set, leaving the majority of the sky dark blue.
I noticed the gold ring Tom had gave me for my birthday (which was yesterday, though it feels like only 5 hours ago). I started spinning in around my finger with my thumb, and looked over to Tommy.
He was downloading his now fully edited video, and he now had headphones in connected to his phone instead of his laptop.
"I see you finished editing?" My voice was scratchy. I was clearly tired, but I didn't plan on sleeping any time soon. (Again, I had trouble sleeping on planes.)
"Mhm." He returned a small smile. He seemed tired too.
"I think you should wait to upload it. Do it tomorrow. You need sleep." I tried to convince him. I had been sleeping a lot lately, so if there was only one bed for all of us, I definitely wouldn't be the first choice.
"And so do you." He voiced back, but still he shut his laptop and put it in his bag by his feet.
"Sleep's boring."
"Why would you tell me to do something that's boring then?"
"Because whether it's boring or not," I scoffed, "it's still important."
"Exactly, idiot. You really need sleep." He pointed a finger at me. "How about this--I'll sleep if you sleep."
"That is not fair, I don't call that a deal. No thank you, I'll pass."
"Suite yourself, I'll go ahead and upload this video." He bent down and picked up his laptop again.
I threw my hand on on the top before he could open it. "How about I upload the video for you, and you sleep?" I smirked, holding my hand down securely.
"B*tch." He leaned back into the plane seat. "Have fun finding out the password." He held his hands up in defeat and I took the laptop away.
"Aha, that's what I thought."
I made sure he wasn't going to try to take it away from me, and then I slowly opened the laptop.
"When's your birthday?" I kept my eyes on the open computer, ready to type.
"Ooh, ooh, don't answer this, I want to guess." Nephie exclaimed excitedly from behind me and Tubbo giggled softly.
"Goodmorning, Tubbs." I waiting patiently.
"Goodnight, Ip." He responded, still giggling, now with Nephie joining in.
"Hey," Tommy grumped, "that's my nickname for her!"
"What's going on back there?" I turned around and tried to look between the cracks in the chairs.
"Thank you, Ip." I felt a weight come off from my lap.
I quickly turned around, thinking I wasn't too late to grab it back, but I wasn't.
He had already started stuffing the laptop back into his bag, and zipped it up as quickly as possible.
"April 9, 2004." Nephie spoke. "Oh, seems like they don't need it anymore, Tubbo."
"We tried, it's okay." Tubbo made a fake sad voice.
