Conversation #1
I am not the only one responsible to keep talking. Stop thinking the onus is all on me to do the talking. Try to switch my thinking on this. In fact the key to keeping a conversation going is not talking but listening. Think about it, if I listen and take on board what my partner is saying, I’ve got topics to keep the conversation going landing in my lap the whole time. So shut up and listen.

Me: Teacher, what day is it?
Teacher: May 31
Girl: It says on the board.
Me: Congradulations, do we make you a party or what.
Sollux and Aradia (Conversation #1)
Sollux: Sollux couldn't stand not being able to sleep anymore. It was driving him crazy, he just wanted some shut-eye more than anything else. Fuck it if this was something that could be considered a really obvious pale advancement, he didn't care anymore. Luckily for him, it was easy enough for him to find Aradia's room. Regardless, he knocked softly as he poked his way in, croaking out a soft "AA?" in question. He could only assume she'd be awake.
Aradia: Aradia unfortunately hadn’t been having much luck sleeping either. It was rare if she could even fall asleep in the human bed, but even if she did it wouldn’t last long without night terrors waking her up again. So instead she would stay up pouring over old history texts she found in her room in order to pass time until morning. Or at least she was until she hearing her famous nickname. She looks up from her book to see Sollux and gives a small smile “Hi Sollux it’s nice to see I’m not the only one still up.”
Sollux: He scoffed slightly as he quietly made his way into the room with her, gently hip-bumping the door closed behind him. "I doubt we're the only two..." he mumbled softly, wandering over to her bed, climbing in and sitting down next to her, sighing. He didn't bother to ask permission, he just settled down, resting his head against her shoulder and huffing softly. "I'm so fucking exhausted, AA..." he complained, huffing unhappily.
Aradia: She would have offered to help but Sollux seemed to be doing perfectly fine without her, so instead she moves to make more room for him on the bed. She freezes when he starts to lean on him, this wasn’t the first time there had been some sort of awkward pale advancements in between them. Usually she would be just as flustered as the time Dave unknowingly did the same. However this was a different situation they were both more exhausted than grumpy and she didn’t have the heart to turn him away. She gives a soft sigh and speaks softly “Me too Sollux and I hate it, I’m tired and I keeping snapping at everyone.. I wish whoever stuck us hear had the decency to give us slime instead of stupid human thing.”
Sollux: "Me too." he muttered miserably, closing his eyes. "Every time I try to sleep, I just get dayterrors and wake up again. Or. I dunno. Night-terrors I guess, now." he sighed, frowning a little. "Maybe we really are just all gonna die from sleep deprivation..." he mumbled. "I dunno if there's any way to get around this bullshit..."
Aradia: She gives a small nod and feels her eyelids start to get heavier. “Here technically night terrors now and they all are horrible, I’m even struggling to put a positive spin on this..” she gives a small sigh and reaches up to rub her eyes trying to keep them awake. “I hope not dying from sleep deprivation wouldn’t be fun especially after just becoming alive again.” she shrugs “I mentioned it to Dave I think him and Rose are trying to figure things out, Nepeta used to sleep with her lussus.. Other than that I have no idea”
Sollux: "There is no positive spin. It just sucks." he huffed, frowning a little. "Yeah... I think they said sleeping with someone else would let you sleep without night terrors and stuff..." he mumbled, trailing off. Fuck, that wasn't very subtle, was it? He was too tired to be subtle. But he was exhausted and desperate, and it was too late to take it back now. Besides, it wasn't as if he DIDN'T wanna just curl up and take a dumb nap with AA, finally. But he wouldn't say that.
Aradia: Oh, yes definitely awkward pale advancements that was not subtle what so ever, it reminded her of Dave but she really shouldn’t be thinking of him right now. She figured Sollux must have just been really, really tired and desperate. to be fair so was she but much too stubborn to outright admit it, but then again the least she could do was help get Sollux and herself at least some sort of sleep. She clears her throat trying not to act to flustered “I’m assuming that’s why you came into my room right? Well… if it really would help..” she trailed off feeling herself blush and probably failing her previous plan to not act flustered.
Sollux: Stop thinking of other men while we.'re in bed together, AA, what the fuck? He flushed a little, biting his lip and nodding slightly, ducking his head. "Yeah." he said softly, his ears twitching and folding back against his head. He wasn't being rejected, but he wasn't really receiving enthusiasm either. "Sorry." he muttered, a tiny trace of his old lisp ghosting his voice. "I mean. I'll leave if you want me to."
Aradia: She took a small breath she needed to keep her thoughts clear during this time, push the thoughts of friend’s awkward pale advancements. After all they both needed sleep, she frowns as she sees Sollux acting awkward and flustered. At least she wasn’t the only one feeling a twinge of embarrassment from this. “No, its fine really Sollux.. You don’t have to go it is a good idea to at least try.”
Sollux: "Alright." he mumbled, nodding a tiny bit and pulling away slightly, biting the inside of his cheek. "C'mere then." he said after a moment, huffing softly to himself. There wasn't any use in them fumbling over this and being awkward and unsure of themselves. Might as well just get down to it so they could both at least try to get some sleep.
Aradia: She nods, right, she can do this pale implications aside it’s just two friends sleeping together, just not like that. It was just for sleep, she briefly scoots away from him for a moment adjusting herself so she could lay down on her side on the bed. She moves back closer to him clearing her throat “And you’re sure you’re okay with this Sollux?”
Sollux: He nodded a tiny bit, laying down on his side, curling up so he's just... almost touching her, but not quite. "Yeah. I mean, I am if you are." he told her, shrugging a tiny bit.
Aradia: “I am.. So, um.. Thank you for doing this.. I hope you get sleep I think we both deserve it by now.” Right that wasn’t awkward at all. If any other awkward pale implications come up she can just blame it on lack of sleep. She feels her eyelids starting to get heavy again.
Sollux: He nods a little, mumbling something barely audible as he curled up to sleep, sighing softly and letting his eyes slide shut. God, please, just let sleep come already. He was beyond ready for it at this point.
Aradia: She sighs and feels her eyes slowly close shut, not paying attention to whatever Sollux mumbled she was far too tired at this point. She moves a little closer to Sollux keeping her eyes closed silently praying to the universe that she can get some sort of sleep free from night terrors.
Sollux: With how exhausted they were, at least, it was easy for sleep to take him. He was slipping out of it quickly, his breath slowly and evening out as he folded up closer to her, sighing softly as his body untensed against hers.
Aradia: Her breathing started to slow down and she felt calmer now that she was with Sollux she didn’t flinch or move as she felt sleep slowly take over. In fact she was easily able to fall into terror less sleep just listening to the soft breathing and sighs Sollux gave.
Sollux: He slept miraculously easily now, sort of just... quietly curling up against Aradia in his sleep, his scrawny little frame folding against hers comfortably as he dozed, his head ducked down beneath his hood.
Aradia: She was perfectly calm in this state of sleep, staying perfectly quite barley moving. Just being able to feel and know Sollux was there was enough of a comfort to fall asleep and black out. She briefly wondered if there was going to be any awkwardness around them both the next day. But the thought was quickly pushed to the back of her mind as she fell further and further to sleep.
Sollux: Ah, well, they'd figure that out tomorrow. For now... Sollux was just glad to sleep with Aradia, curled up against her side, one of his arms wrapped loosely around her, his wings shivering in his sleep every now and again as he slept deep and heavy.
Aradia: The last thing she needed was quadrant complications not that she could do much to avoid it, but they would figure that out tomorrow. She gave a soft sigh and had her hands leaning up against Sollux shoulder leaning in close to him. For once being able to sleep without having to pass out or suddenly wake up from fear and terrors.

Xirig hadn't talked to Marluxia in a long time, so long that he was still standing outside the door to his room, wondering if he shouldn't return to his own. Taking a breath, he knocks politely.
