Another Sip (Style)

~ Chapter 1 ~

// Stan's POV //

I wake up, it's still dark outside. I check my phone, '2:48' ugh, not again..

I've been waking up very early in the morning lately, unable to fall back asleep, and the worst part is, I only get 2 hours of sleep every night.

I don't even know why my sleep schedule is so horrible now.

I just decided to get ready for school and I'll have extra time, so I'll probably just  watch TikTok to pass the time.

I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I sigh at the dark bags under my eyes, I wished I could get more sleep. I brush my teeth and fix my hair for the day.

I enter my room still tired as fuck, I had just about to grab my phone, when I saw a notification appear, "New text from SBF🤞" which was pretty weird because Kyle is never up at this time, or at least I don't think he is..

I check the text:
———————————————————
SBF🤞: Sup bro! : )

Me: Oh what's up man, why are you up at this time?

SBF🤞: Idk actually, I just kinda woke up I guess. Why are you up right now?
———————————————————

I realized that I never really told him about how I've been getting up at like almost 3 in the morning

———————————————————
Me: Well I just woke up early I guess.

SBF🤞: Don't you go to bed at 12 or something?

Me: Yeah, what about it?

SBF🤞: Dude that's only 2 hours of sleep. Go to bed at 10 maybe, it will probably help

Me: Dude it's nothing to worry about. It's pretty normal by now.

SBF🤞: What do you mean "normal"? How long has this been happening Stan?

Me: Well for a few weeks now I guess.

SBF🤞: Omg Stan, is this about the project today? Why do you choose to work on it when it's time for you to sleep?

Me: I'm just super busy after school, anyways I gtg do something. Cya dude.

SBF🤞: Alright, Cya!
———————————————————

That was a lie, I don't know why I worked on it at night, I just did, and why was he so worried about my sleep schedule?

// Kyle's POV //

I check my phone '3:22' I'm still tired, so I go back to sleep after setting an alarm for 6:12'.

My alarm goes off, '6:12' I turn off the alarm and I start to get ready. While brushing my teeth, I see a notification pop up on my phone, "New text from SBF❤️"

After I'm done brushing my teeth, I check the text.

———————————————————
SBF❤️: Bro I swat um ging tp pasd ott rught mow.

Me: Dude why are you texting like that?

SBF❤️: luke wattttt

Me: I swear to God, are you drunk Stan?

SBF❤️: wtah noo wrll maubr a liytl

I decided to call Stan, hopefully to understand him better

He picks up.

"Stan?"

"What's up Kyllllleeee??" He replied

"Yeah no your staying home, I'll be there soon"

I hang up and go downstairs to get my shoes on, my parents are on vacation, and Ike is currently at a sleepover because they don't have school for a few weeks.

I walk out the door, and I walk to Stan's house. When I arrive, I knock on the door and Sharon answers.

"Oh hello Kyle! What a pleasant surprise to see you here, come in.", She responded

"Thank you Mrs. Marsh"

She closed to door after I entered

"Stan is feeling a little, uh.. down. Could he stay home today?"

She looks surprised "Oh, I'm a little confused why he didn't tell me, maybe I should check up on him"

I quickly respond, "uh I was actually going to ask if I could take care of him for the day?"

She seems pretty happy that I said that, "Oh, well that is very nice of you! I guess I won't have to call off of work after all. Oh God, it's 6:50, I'm going to be late, alright you boys be good okay?"

"It's my pleasure, really. And we will behave.", I smile.

"Thank you again, I must be going now, goodbye!"

I go upstairs to his room - the only place I'd think he'd be atm. I find him mumbling random shit while watching TikTok, obviously too drunk to hit the like button on  a single video.

I go to sit on his bed and he looks at me with a smile "Hey darling" He winks at me.

"Darling?", I think to myself. "Why would he say that? We're not gay or anything"

I responded shortly after, " "Darling?" " Obviously confused as to why he called me that.

He started to giggle and he just stared at me, supposably my eyes. I look with confusion, and he pats the spot next to him on the bed, signaling to lay next to him. As I lay next to him, he looks tired, and he slowly falls asleep. I was pretty tired as well, so I shortly fell asleep afterwards.

// Author note //

Heyyyy.. I don't write super long things like the better authors do, because my motivation for long chapters is very low.
Anyways, I'll be updating like.. every day I think?
And I know this is the second style book I've done in a row, and I'm now done with the other, but she's been busy and unmotivated as well so it's gonna be a while-

Next chapter is soon btw! Rn it's 12:56, midnight and I'm tired, so I'll be back soon!
