Randy, Stu, and Billy x Male Reader Who Is Always Tired/Loves To Sleep (Separate Headcanons)
This was requested by @zithaver. I chose to do headcanons so you could see how each guy would react! This is a long one! I hope you enjoy!! (I am so sorry this took longer than I intended. I've been having connection issues off and all day!)
Randy Meeks aka The Human White Noise Machine: Randy finds your constant exhaustion oddly endearing. He views your sleep habits through the lens of a movie trope..because why wouldn't he? It's Randy. He considers you the 'Comatose Companion' and he's decided he's the one to keep you safe while you drift off. (So sweet I know)
The Video Store Nap: When you visit him at work, he has a designated napping area for you. He clears a space behind the counter specifically for you. He'll stack VHS boxes to create a privacy wall for you. Man has 100% told someone to shush once..or twice..maybe three times because they're going to wake you.
The Commentary Lullaby: He knows his frantic movie rants usually put you to sleep. Listen...if this was anyone else? Man would be so offended, however, because it's you he lowers his voice to that documentary narrator tone voice to help you stay under.
The Human Pillow: If you two are watching a movie on his couch, he'll sit perfectly still..for once in his life..this man is sitting still, just so you can lean your head on his shoulder. He'll hold his breath for ten minutes just to avoid waking you. Man will try to hold his pee in for the duration of the movie because he knows once he moves you're gonna be awake.
The Spoiler Shield: If you know Randy you know he's a spoiler free guy. This man will make it his life mission to make sure new movies or even movies you haven't seen don't get spoiled. If you fall asleep during a crucial plot point, he'll pause the movie and wait. He refuses to let you miss the big reveal, even if it takes you three hours to wake up. Now he just needs to figure out what he's doing for the next three hours.
The Caffeine Compromise: Randy will constantly try to offer you movie fuel..which is code for soda and popcorn, but when he realizes you're actually out cold? He'll carefully remove the cup from your hand before you spill it. He's learned from this mistake. It happened on one of your first movie hang outs.
The Notebook Guardian: In class, if he sees your head hit the desk, he starts taking double notes. He’ll doodle little "You were sleeping here" markers in the margins of your notebook.
The Pop Culture Comparison: Randy definitely compares you to Sleeping Beauty, but with more "90s grunge" energy. He thinks it’s "subverting the genre."
The Gentle Wake-up: Randy isn't a loud waker. He’ll softly hum the Halloween theme or tap your hand lightly until your eyes flutter open. Honestly..the Halloween theme has become oddly soothing now??
The Blanket Burglar (In Reverse): Randy has a stash of oversized flannels in his car. If you fall asleep in the passenger seat, he’ll tuck one around you with surprising tenderness. Sydney once asked why he has so many and he looked offended "The real question is, why don't you huh??"
The "Movie Date" Reality: Most of your dates end with him talking to himself for an hour while you snore. He doesn't mind; he just likes having the "best audience" in the room, even if they're unconscious.
Stu Macher aka The Chaotic Comfort Zone: Stu is very high energy, but your sleepiness acts as a grounding wire for him. He thinks it's hilarious and adorable, and he'll go to great lengths to make sure your naps are as dramatic as he is..because it's Stu..he's not going to let you have a nice peaceful nap alone.
The Human Heater: Stu is always warm. If you’re tired, he will literally scoop you up and let you use him as a giant, 6'3" heating pad.
The "Quiet" Game: This man will tell everyone at a party to "shut the hell up" because you’re napping on the couch. He’ll use his most intimidating glare, then immediately go back to making goofy faces at you while he pokes your face.
The Surprise Pounce: Sometimes, he forgets you’re tired. He’ll jump onto the bed to wake you up, realize you’re actually dead to the world, and immediately turn it into a cuddle session instead..by that it's usually him literally laying on top of you. His lanky ass sprawled out.
The Drool Defense: If you drool on his expensive sweater while sleeping, he won't care. He’ll actually brag about it to Billy like it’s a mark of your "true bond." Billy looks at him like he's an idiot.
The Pocket Snacks: Stu knows you wake up grumpy and hungry. He’ll keep a granola bar or candy in his pocket to shove in your face the second you open your eyes. Literally feeds you while stroking your head like a cat.
The "Accidental" Nap: He’ll try to keep you awake by being loud, but eventually, your sleepiness is contagious. You’ll often find him passed out right next to you, limbs tangled everywhere.
The Locker Lean 2.0: If he sees you leaning against your locker looking tired, he’ll stand behind you and let you lean back against him so you don’t have to support your own weight. He'll do this thing where he'll wrap his arms around you head and let you lay your head against his chest, shielding you from everyone else.
The Pajama Enforcer: This man will buy you the most ridiculous, fuzzy socks or oversized hoodies just so you’re "properly equipped" for your next nap. He gets that grin on his face whenever he sees you wearing the socks or hoodie.
The Public Display of Sleep: Stu has no shame. He will let you sleep on his lap in the middle of the school courtyard, glaring at anyone who walks by too loudly. He strokes your head mindlessly.
The Wake-up Prank: Stu really can’t help himself. He’ll sometimes put a single Cheeto on your nose while you’re asleep just to see how long it stays there when you wake up. He thinks it's hilarious. That little glare you get when you finally wake up makes it all worth it.
Billy Loomis aka The Intense Protector: Billy is usually high-strung and brooding, so your ability to just shut down fascinates him. He finds a sense of peace in your stillness that he can’t find anywhere else.
The Silent Sentinel: If you fall asleep in his room, he’ll stop whatever he’s doing and just watch you. Not in a creepy way (mostly), but because it’s the only time the world feels quiet to him.
The Hair Stroke: He’s very tactile when you’re asleep. He’ll slowly run his fingers through your hair, tracing your features with a look of uncharacteristic softness.
The Shadow Protector: If someone tries to wake you up in the library or lounge, Billy will give them a look so cold they’ll turn around and walk the other way without a word.
The Heavy Blanket: Billy likes the weight of you. If you’re napping, he’ll often lay his arm or his whole torso over you, anchoring you down.
The Jacket Transfer: The second you start shivering in your sleep, his jacket is off and draped over you. He likes the way you smell like him when you wake up.
The Low-Tone Conversations: He’ll talk to you while you sleep..sharing things he’d never say while you’re awake. It’s his way of venting without the vulnerability of a response.
The Grumpy Wake-up: He’s not a morning person either. If you’re both tired, he’ll just pull the covers over both of your heads and ignore the world until noon. Man will find a way to block the light from the window.
The Study Session Sabotage: If he sees you struggling to keep your eyes open over a textbook, he’ll just take the book away. "Go to sleep. I'll tell you what happened in Chapter 4 later."
The Car Ride Sanctuary: He’ll drive the long way home just so you can get another twenty minutes of sleep in the passenger seat. He drives much smoother when you're knocked out.
The Rare Smile: The only time Billy truly looks relaxed is when he’s watching you sleep. It’s the one time he feels like neither of you has anything to hide.
