(* ENJOY!!! >:3 -A/N *)

*Timeskip: 9 am*

*Balloon's P.O.V*

I'm so tired. But getting pics of Taco's confession earlier that night was so worth it! 

I even managed to convince Trophy to come and snoop with me! Haha! We got some amazing photos!

It's currently 9 am and it's breakfast. I was just staring off into space because I was so tired.

"Balloon? Earth to Balloon!", a voice calls out.

I snap out of my tired state and look up. I see OJ looking at me concerned. I smile at him, which he returns.

"Hey OJ.", I greet.

"Hi. Are you okay? You haven't touched your plate of food.", he asked.

"Oh. I'm *yawns* okay.", I yawn.

"You don't look okay... you sure?", he asks again.

"Mhm... just didn't get any sleep again...", I slightly mutter.

"Oh, well maybe- wait. Again?!", he asks in shock.

"Mmm... Haven't been able to sleep in the past 3 days.", I confess.

"Balloon! You should've told me! Come on. We're getting you back in bed.", he said.

"I'm fineeeee~ OJ...!!", I whine.

"Loon. You're running on 0 sleep. I doubt you're 'fineeeeee'~.", he somewhat mocks.

He picks me up without me having time to protest. I grow shocked, but try and protest anyways. 

But my fatigue gets to me as I slowly start to grow tired. I'm not sure where OJ is taking me.

But I could care less about it. I was too tired to care and slowly start to feel myself dozing off to sleep.

Soon, I was asleep in my cousin's arms.

*4 hours later*

"Balloon~... wake up.", a voice calls out.

"Mmmm~ 5 more minutes~....", I whine.

"Loon. Come on now. Wake up.", the voice says.

I feel a sudden coldness flow through me as I try to grab the warmth back. Not feeling it, I open one eye.

I look to see OJ holding a blanket. I whine, knowing I wouldn't get any more sleep from this moment on.

So, I sit up and rub my eyes in a drowsy way. I think I'm more tired than I was before. The fuck?
