Abel sits on the edge of his bed, his laptop on top of his legs, eyes fixed to the screen that glows in the darkness. Determined to perfect his monthly report to his superior officer, he refuses to fall asleep. He continues staring into the light despite the sudden push to his upper back as Cassandra lazily drops herself on him.
"Abel, please, come to sleep... It's already three in the morning...", she pleads. Nothing.
"I can't sleep if you aren't there with me..."
Cassandra leans forward, slowly but surely, eventually making Abel's forehead touch the screen. Still no reaction. She gets increasingly frustrated for the lack of attention that he's giving her. She squeezes around his shoulders as roughly as she can.
"You old bastard, stop ruining my sleep cycle and come to sleep already...", she insists and grabs Abel's shoulders. She attempts pulling him back and after only succeeding in getting him only a few degrees farther away from the screen she hits his back with her fists and crawls closer to the wall, waiting for Abel to finally go to sleep with her.
"... Ouch, that hurt. Cass, was that really necessary?", Abel whines after a couple of minutes of silence, "I really had to finish that paper, you know".
"Your fault for not paying attention to me. Come here right now and let me sleep", Cassandra demands. She tries to sound as convincing as she can despite barely being able to keep her eyes open.
Abel lets out a deep sigh. He brushes back the stray locks of hair that got loose from his ponytail and sets his laptop aside. He takes off his sweater and jeans and crawls under the sheets. As Cassandra climbs on top of him he groans: "Quit jabbing me with your elbow! It stings!".
"Stop whining, grandpa. I want to sleep", Cassandra hisses as she sets herself comfortably on top of Abel's chest.
"Psh. Grandpa, me? I'm only 42 you know.", Abel remarks. "I almost wish you were a guy, Cass. Perhaps then I'd go to bed earlier".
Cassandra frowns. "If I were a guy I'd still be into women. Now, sleep, or I'll cut your damn tongue off".
