summary: Belle had been smoking up on the roof, while stiles had been watching tv on the couch. Being two night owls and unable to sleep, belle joined stiles watching infomercials and the two catch up a bit, cuddling and enjoying each other’s company because they’d both rarely seen each other in a while. Eventually Stiles gets too tired and retreats to his bed to sleep the few hours before work, and Belle falls asleep on the couch to the sound of the TV.
[7/26/16, 5:53:00 PM] belle: walking through the door, but quiet enough as to not wake the others, she attempted to sneak up onto the other before hitting him gently on the head. "hi" she chuckled. [7/26/16, 5:54:13 PM] v e o n o m: Stiles looked up and laughed when he saw Belle standing in front of where he sat on the couch. The television was on but he wasn't watching it. "There you are roof monkey." [7/26/16, 5:56:54 PM] belle: She leaned against the couch, eyes glancing at the tv before back at him. "something on your mind you lazy old night owl?" before adding, "scooch over" [7/26/16, 5:57:43 PM] v e o n o m: Stiles moved over on the couch to give her some room. He laid his head back against it and looked up at her with a smile. "No. Just miss you." [7/26/16, 6:21:13 PM] belle: "Miss you too gramps," she joked, before flipping over the back of the couch swiftly before landing softly in its cushy confines. [7/27/16, 2:12:37 AM] v e o n o m: Stiles wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his side. He had been a little busy with one of his other roommates... so much so that it made him feel distant from everyone else. Belle was one of the first people he met when he got back to LA and he thought of her as a little sister. [7/27/16, 2:18:32 AM] belle: “I see you have been lacking belle-cuddles” she jokes with a soft smile as he pulled her in, and her body seemed to instinctively lean into him, nuzzling up against him as her head rested against his chest. It was a position she’d become used to as the two had hung out quite often on the couch with a good movie and some popcorn — a tradition of sorts. Though with her busy schedule and his, he’d rarely seen him the past few days (or at least their schedules never matched). Her eyes flashed to the screen, quizzically asking, “what are you watching?” [7/27/16, 2:24:54 AM] v e o n o m: "Infomercial on the instacooker." He told her. It was early enough that weird television was on. "It can cook an entire turkey in 90 minutes." He whispered as if that was a big secret. "And it comes with a set of steak knives." [7/27/16, 2:28:59 AM] belle: “so basically nothing good’s on huh.” she mused aloud, quirking a brow at the stat he just spouted. “wow — really?” before taking in an exaggerated gasp to play along with his whispered tone, “no way! set of steak knives, wow. I think you should pick up the phone and just buy that shit.” she joked. [7/27/16, 3:51:56 AM] v e o n o m: "This is quality television, Belle." Stiles told her as he pointed at the screen. "And it's an amazing deal. Just 4 easy payments of $39.99 and if you call in the next 10 minutes they'll cut it down to 3 easy payments." He started to do the television spiel. [7/28/16, 4:50:59 PM] belle: “quality television for oldies.” she chirped, “all you need now is the white hair, the slump, and some wrinkles here and here,” she jested, fingers reaching up to trace invisible wrinkle lines across his forehead, around his eyes, and his chin. “oh, and one of those beer-stomachs cause you drink so much.” she laughed. “If NASA ever fires you, I think you’ve just found your next-calling” [7/30/16, 9:51:59 AM] v e o n o m: "Hey I already have a slump." Stiles told her. He chuckled when she touched his face. His head shook. "No. I'll never age. I'll invent an anti aging serum and make it ridiculously expensive, and retire at 35." [8/8/16, 11:45:44 AM] belle: “That’s true,” she laughed, “but it needs to be more apparent — ya’think I should give you a cane for your birthday next year?" She jested before her brow quirked upwards. “oh really? but you haven’t started yet so I’m gonna guess you’ll just be 30 forever then? not young and 25 — but if that ever happens I expect a free sample. family perks right?” [8/8/16, 12:03:05 PM] v e o n o m: "Family perks of course." Stiles joked with her. He leaned over and kissed her head. "Now hush up. Watch the television." He told her. [8/8/16, 12:21:43 PM] belle: “Great — now I can wreck havoc forever.” Belle chuckled as she cuddled against stiles as if he were her own personal pillow. Her eyes flickered back to the television commercial as a yawn escaped. “I’m going to fall asleep if I keep watching this. Aren’t there any good’old sitcoms on like full house or seventh heaven or friends or something?” [8/8/16, 12:23:46 PM] v e o n o m: "I'm not watching Full House." Stiles protested. "You can go to sleep. I'm not stopping you. This is good tv." He patted her shoulder and laid his head back on the back of the couch [8/8/16, 12:27:08 PM] belle: "full house was great ok? why you hating on it." Belle countered, mind literally repeating the numbers that was constantly being repeated over and over. "all for 39.99" she echoed. [8/8/16, 12:29:02 PM] v e o n o m: "No. It was great for you because you probably liked uncle Jesse. But there was no appeal for me and the show was embarrassing." Stiles argued. "All the melodrama and soft sappy music." [8/8/16, 12:32:34 PM] belle: "on the contrary, I preferred Danny more. I mean uncle jesse was cool and all, but'I've always been a danny type of girl. plus the kids were cute ok, like michelle was adorable." Belle reminisced, the family sitcom was one that'd literally brought their loud siblings together for momentary moments of silence. [8/8/16, 12:35:12 PM] v e o n o m: Stiles shook his head. The thought of watching that show made him physically cringe but he didn't grow up watching it religiously either. "You can keep your public service announcement 90's television." He told her. "I'll keep my infomercials." [8/8/16, 12:38:47 PM] belle: "ok fine, but what about friends? you're not going to tell me that you hated that too?" Belle remarked, eyes flashing back to stiles before she let out a sigh. "I guess gramps will be gramps"
[8/9/16, 10:37:10 PM] v e o n o m: "Friends was okay." He shrugged his shoulders. Stiles was getting a little sleepy and he couldn't much keep up with the conversation any longer. "Fuck I'm so tired." He yawned by accident. [8/9/16, 10:42:59 PM] belle: "you should be." Belle mused with a chuckle, "just go to sleep then." Using the chance to steal the remote before flipping through the channels to see what else was on. [8/9/16, 10:44:34 PM] v e o n o m: "You won't find anything better unless you wanna pay for porn." He told her as he got to his feet. Stiles stretched out and started toward his bedroom. "Night Belle." He murmured. [8/9/16, 10:47:28 PM] belle: "ha -- I doubt tv porn's any good." she replied back, flashing him a weary smile as he rose to go to sleep, stuffing a bunch of pillows in his spot before laying down on it. "night -- I expect to wake up to the smell of bacon." she chuckled before adding, "sweet dreams." [8/9/16, 10:50:24 PM] v e o n o m: "I'll dump black coffee on you." He joked as he disappeared into the hallway. "G'night." Stiles said again before walking into his bedroom and heading to sleep. [8/9/16, 10:52:13 PM] belle: "if you do that expect to wake up to a bucket of ice the next day -- night" belle called back softly so as to not wake up everyone else, watching as he entered the room before turning her attention back to the tv, flipping through the channels at random before finding a rerun of 7th heaven and she settled down to watch, a yawn escaping. After an episode or so, belle found herself falling into the clutches of sleep too.
