And the Skies Turned Gold (Reboot) // OxO // Closed

Tohru laughed.
"Wanna swap? I can be the bouncer, and you can stick to mixing drinks," he suggested jokingly.
Yet, he wondered if that was a possibility, given that Davin couldn't find another job.

"I was kind of kidding," Tohru replied, "But in reality, I'm not sure. They're desperate for employees. You could always ask if you felt comfortable enough. I keep forgetting that's a problem for you. I'm sorry about that…"

"Yeah… I suppose so. How have you found work before? And what kinds of jobs have you worked?"
Tohru unbuttoned his shirt and threw it aside, so he stood there in a black undershirt, his tattoo peeking out the sides in the back. Then he took off his pants and put on his softer pajama bottoms. He was in no mood to do a full routine before bed after tonight, after all.

"Alright. Where have you applied so far?" Tohru continued.
He turned and gave a faint smile.
"We will find you a job."

"Fair enough. But if you don't hear back in a few days, I could always vouch for you if you wanted to apply at the bar too," Tohru replied, "It's kind of a back-street local place. They don't seem to care too much what you wear, as long as you put on the apron over your clothes."

Tohru shot Davin a smile, tucking his clothes closer to his body.
"Well, I'm going to get ready for bed. I'm wiped out, honestly."

(Sorry it's been a while. I've had a lot going on)
Tohru went into the bathroom to change into his pajamas. He leaned over the counter with a heavy sigh after letting his hair down, then he took a comb to it to work out the knots.
He looked exhausted. The dark circles under his eyes were more than enough to give that away. As long as he slept better tonight, though- well, that was the trick. Insomnia was a bitch. If he was able to get to sleep at a normal time, he sure wasn't able to stay that way.
After getting ready for bed, Tohru made his way back to the bedroom and laid down on the side opposite to Davin. He rolled over on his side, scrolling through his device.

"G'night," Tohru muttered under his breath, "I'm probably going to sleep in if I can tomorrow."
He placed his device down and nuzzle deeper into the blankets.

Again, Tohru was awake for a long time. He laid still enough that Davin probably would've assumed he was sleeping. After he found he couldn't go to sleep, he usually would've picked up his device and read or something for a bit. However, he didn't want to go through the awkwardness that was saying goodnight, only to roll over and play on his device. So he just laid there, staring in the direction of a wall through the dark.

Tohru lied there awake for hours. By the time his mind settled enough to let him sleep, it was nearly sunrise.
However, once asleep, he didn't do so much as stir until much later that morning.

Tohru woke up on the later side, but before noon, to the smell of cooking.
He smiled a bit to himself. It was a nice change. He hadn't been cooked for since he was living with his family on Drestia.
The young man stretched a bit and swung his legs over the edge of the bed before walking into the kitchen.
"Good morning," he said, "What're you making? It smells good."

"Yeah, thank you," Tohru replied softly, a smile spreading over his face.
He went to pour himself a cup of coffee.
"How are you this morning?"

"Once I got to sleep, yeah," Tohru admitted, "I don't think I dozed off until four or five, though."
He leaned up against the counter, taking a few sips of coffee.
"Not really my intention, but it happens."

Tohru shrugged.
"Yeah, guess so. I mean, it's part of the reason I basically live off caffeine," he replied, chuckling to himself.

"Heh, I only started drinking because I'm so sleep deprived. I don't drink the stuff at night because it would only keep me up worse," Tohru said, "Besides, at this point, I get headaches if I don't have at least a little in the morning."
