"'s fine." he replied, going back to his work and letting out a breath. He focused in on his work again, shaking his head slightly.

Wilhelm dropped his head onto a pillow, bringing his arms up above his head with a slight sigh. He was wiped, really. He was trying not to show it, but the exhaustion peeked through every so often.

Connor kept working, starting to hum again.

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to force himself to sleep. Wilhelm opened his eyes back up when he heard Connor beginning to hum, simply staring at the ceiling as he listened to the other boy.

Connor kept humming quietly, a soft smile on his face.

Wilhelm ran his fingers through his curls. He sat up, finally remembering that he should probably get ready to bed before going to sleep.

Connor kept working and humming, sighing tiredly.

Wilhelm checked his watch before taking it off and placing it on his beside table, moving to strip off his shirt and sling it over his shoulder as he pulled out his pajamas and tug those on.

He bit his lip when he saw Wilhelm changing from the corner of his eye, and shifted so he could no longer see. Bad Connor. Stop it.

Wilhelm ruffled his hair, finished up whatever he was going and going back to his bed, climbing underneath his sheets.

(Gtg sorry)

Connor eventually finished his homework, and then got ready for bed.

Like normal, he was asleep within ten minutes, roughly. He was turned away from Connor, his arms blocking any light from his eyes.

Connor turned out the lights and got in bed, closing his eyes.

(sure!)

In the morning…
Connor was, as always, still curled up asleep on his bed, buried beneath the blankets, his red hair the only sign that something existed other than the tangled blankets.

Wilhelm woke up a minute or so before his alarm clock went off, something that had begun happening more and more. And yet, when the alarm went off, he still nearly jumped out of his skin. He glanced over at Connor. It was strange to see how easily he slept through the awful ringing, but he did.

Connor was immune to the ringing, at this point, remaining curled up on the bed, sleeping. He was mostly quiet, save for a few exhales.

Wilhelm got out of bed, taking a moment to gain his composure after standing up too quickly, and immediately went to wake up Connor. He would've gotten dressed first, like normal, but this way he wasn't taking up time Connor could've used getting ready for school.

Connor groaned as Wilhelm started trying to wake him, squirming away a little bit, still mostly asleep.

"Come on." Wilhelm pulled the covers away a bit. "The sooner you get up, the better."

Connor squeaked at him when the German boy pulled at the covers, whining and pulling away. "Nooo."

"Unless you want to be short on time for breakfast, I think you should probably get up soon." Wilhelm stepped back, already beginning to tug off his pajamas to put on his uniform.

Connor whined again, rolling over onto his back and peeking up at Wilhelm. He immediately closed his eyes again, knowing that if he looked, he would blush, and he was so damn pale that it would be obvious.
