Advent Drabble 8 - 3am

[earlgreytea68]

For anonymous

3am is, in their tour-addled state, basically the middle of the afternoon. It’s when Pete is playing videogames or watching movies and Patrick is working, because he’s the responsible one.

Pete loves this, loves the middle of the night not being a fraught opportunity for insomnia, loves the wakeful company as the bus drives onward.

But this means his insomnia shifts to 8am, watching the clock tick, thinking of the show looming that night and how he should really sleep.

And then, Patrick is as comforting as if 8am were 3am, singing in his ear until they both fall asleep.
