Tenth Deduction [Accidental Voice/Action for Housemates]

Jul 19, 2011 18:58

[Conan tosses and turns restlessly in his sleep, obviously struggling against a bad dream. All of a sudden he bolts straight up with a half-strangled scream and falls out of bed. He doesn't even notice his hand knocking his communicator onto the floor.]

RAN!

[He looks around frantically for a moment, then slumps back to the ground.]

Just a dream, is ( Read more... )

[When Luke answers, he sounds like he's just woken up.]

Conan?

Are you all right? You...[Yawn.] You were yelling.

[Voice] modernholmes July 19 2011, 23:19:25 UTC

It's fine, Luke. You should go back to sleep.

[Voice] luke_triton July 19 2011, 23:34:55 UTC

[He rubs his eyes, still groggy, but now he's awake so a firm 'go back to sleep' wasn't going to cut it.]

But you were yelling.

Did you have a bad dream?

[Voice] modernholmes July 19 2011, 23:53:41 UTC

It wasn't a pleasant one. [Conan's voice sounds faintly strained.] But it is nothing to worry about.

[Voice] luke_triton July 20 2011, 00:11:00 UTC

[He hesitates. At home, his mum would ask him what the dream was about or make him a cup of tea. But he wasn't anybody's mum, and he didn't think he'd be very good at asking what the dream was about, either.]

Oh...

Are you going to go right back to sleep? I think I'm going to go feed Claire since I'm awake.

[Translation: He'll stay up and talk, but since he's thirteen he's not going to outright offer.]

[Voice] modernholmes July 20 2011, 00:22:50 UTC

[Conan had no desire to talk about his nightmares with anyone. Much less a kid who shouldn't have to know anything about human monsters like Gin.]

I think I'm going to try,

[A lie. He had no intention of trying to sleep again after that.]

[Voice] luke_triton July 20 2011, 00:31:24 UTC

[Luke isn't particularly convinced.]

If you stay up...I'll be awake for a bit. I'm not that tired anymore, so I may just read after feeding Claire.

[Voice] modernholmes July 20 2011, 00:48:31 UTC

Don't stay up too late. Kids need lots of sleep.

Re: [Voice] luke_triton July 20 2011, 00:50:32 UTC

I'm not a kid!

And I'm not sleepy, either.

[He'd never say it, but waking up and hearing somebody screaming is the sort of thing that would keep him awake for quite a while anyway.]

: [Voice] modernholmes July 20 2011, 00:53:37 UTC

[Something like that is exactly what a kid would say.]

You might get sleepy later.

[Voice] luke_triton July 21 2011, 22:34:43 UTC

[Luke's quiet for a moment, and then sighs.]

Maybe.

But waking up to someone screaming wakes you up a lot. So I'm not sleepy now.

[Voice] modernholmes July 22 2011, 13:39:56 UTC

My apologies for waking you up.

[Voice] luke_triton July 24 2011, 04:18:46 UTC

[He fidgets.]

Aren't you really awake too..?

[Conan was the one who woke up screaming, after all...]

[Voice] modernholmes July 24 2011, 14:29:18 UTC

Awake enough.

[Voice] luke_triton July 27 2011, 03:14:47 UTC

[He sighs.]

Um...well, if you stay awake..I'm probably going to be awake too. But the Professor's probably going to wonder what's going on if I keep talking..so I should probably turn this off.

So..um...goodnight. I hope you fall back asleep soon..
