(alright!)

Connor was still asleep, curled up in a little bundle on his bed. He let out a sleepy sound at the alarm, rolling over and away from the noise.

Wilhelm was already slinging on his uniform shirt by the time he noticed Connor’s reactions to the alarm. He finished buttoning up the collar, tying his tie when he walked up to his roommate’s bed. “Are you awake yet?”

(gtg to bed soon. Good night!)

Connor groaned. "Noooo." He covered his head with a pillow, sighing loudly.

(gn!)

“Sleep-talking, then?” Wilhelm shook Connor lightly, taking a seat on the very edge of his bed. “Come on.. you don’t want to miss breakfast, do you?”

Connor groaned again. "Noooo." He protested again, squirming a little bit on the bed. "Don't wanna ge' up."

“..Don’t make me drag you out of bed.” Wilhelm lightly pushed the pillow away from Connor’s head. “Because I won’t hesitate to.”

Connor whined softly, burrowing into the blankets. "Dinnae wanna." he complained, squirming deeper into the blankets.

“I know, but the sooner that you get out of bed, the sooner that we can eat.” Wilhelm pulled the blankets back a bit, ruffling up Connor’s hair.

Connor groaned, curling up tighter. "Nooo." He squirmed again, as if trying to burrow into the bed.

Wilhelm looked down at his watch. “Alright, well.. I’m going to go eat, I guess that I’ll see you later?”

Connor sighed, rolling onto his back and cracking his eyes open. "Nooo. Ah'm gettin' oop, ah'm gettin' oop." He sat up slowly, blinking tiredly.

“There he is!” Wilhelm teased, taking a seat back on his bed while he tugged on his shoes. “We have an hour or so before breakfast is over.”

Connor narrowed his eyes at Wilhelm, pouting slightly as he got dressed. "Ah wanna go back to bed." He whined, sitting on the bed and fumbling with his shoes.

“I know, I know, but think of it this way: you can go back to bed! In..” Wilhelm checked his watch. “Thirteen hours or so.”

Connor groaned. "Ugh. But ah will nae be tired then!" he complained, standing tiredly.

“Well, Connor, I just don’t know what to tell you, in that case.” Wilhelm shrugged, running his fingers along the bumps of his knuckles.

Connor wrinkled his nose, dragging a comb through his hair, then looking at Wilhelm. "Ugh. Le's go." he said, shaking his head a little bit.

“Let’s.” Wilhelm echoed, quickly fixing his wild curls as they walked out the door and into the common room.

Connor followed Wilhelm, smiling.

He led them into the dining hall, and good god, it was packed full of boys trying to wolf down their food as fast as they could before breakfast was over and class began. “Damn, I forgot how much busier this was on Monday.. especially at this time.”

Connor snorted softly, and grimaced. "Ugh. Too many people. Ah wanna go back ta bed." he whined, crossing his arms.

“Well, I don't recommend this, but if you want to sleep so badly, just sleep in class.” Wilhelm walked them into line for food. “Otherwise, grin and bear it.”

Connor sighed loudly as he followed Wilhelm, dragging his feet on the floor. "Ah'm not grinnin', but ah'll bear it." he grumbled mutinously.

Wilhelm rolled his eyes as he got food. “Are you just looking to complain? I can’t help you.” His tone wasn’t angry or anything like it, only a little exasperated. Though you could hear that he was smiling through his voice.

Connor sighed again. "Ah'm no' complainin', ah'm…" he trailed off, unsure what exactly he was doing.
